Re: I just bought this stock! Help with this chart's resistance.
Trend lines and points of resistance/support work well in retrospect, but unfortunately, it's very rare for stocks to stop at support/resistance. In most cases, if a stock is near an important level of support/resistance, it will likely push through and hit all the stops and trigger all the limit orders. That is why discussing potential areas of support/resistance can be slightly pointless, especially if you plan on putting stops/limits in those areas.
Resistance/support should be used to judge how price behaves around a specific area - to see if it continues in the desired direction or whether it struggles and heads in the opposite area.
In your chart, the $9.5 and $10 seem to be most important areas to focus on.
