The data does tell us to set a stop loss 144.82 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 145.24 is the first level of support below 145.71, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 145.24 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.
