New York, January 25th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Sanofi-Aventis (NYSE:SNY) are trading very close to calculated resistance at $49.28. The stock ended the trading session at just $48.50, which is near levels that make it difficult to buy or start a position.

Sanofi-Aventis (NYSE:SNY) is a global pharmaceutical company that researches, develops and manufactures prescription pharmaceuticals and vaccines. The Company develops cardiovascular, thrombosis, metabolic disorder, central nervous system, internal medicine and oncology drugs, and vaccines.

Sanofi-Aventis' stock range is defined by its calculated support defined at $42.75 and by the resistance level at $49.28; the stock is clearly over-extended from support, making it harder for participants to establish fresh longs.

Traders don't have a clear entry point for Sanofi-Aventis . However, as the stock pulls back towards $42.75 it will definitely provide a reference point to establish a trade. On the other hand, if the stock breaks above its resistance level at $49.28 then traders will get an opportunity to enter the stock as it moves to a higher range.
