Traders and investors must now look lower for major chart support. There still looks to be a lot of support for SCHW around the $47.50 area. This is where the stock broke out in late November 2017. Often, when a stock trades back down into a prior breakout area it will be defended by the institutional crowd. That should be the case this time around as well for SCHW shares.
