The American provider of transportation and supply chain management products, especially known for its fleet of rental trucks, Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R) seems to be getting ready for a price bump as per the latest charts.
Bullish Move – Chart Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Breakout: As you can see from the daily chart of Ryder Systems, the stock had been forming a falling wedge pattern during the past few weeks. This is marked as pink color lines. The stock has currently broken out of the falling wedge pattern. A falling wedge is a bullish pattern and a breakout from it implies that the stock may move higher in the short term.

#4 RSI Strong: Relative strength index (RSI) is currently above 50 after moving up from oversold levels.
This indicates the strength of the current upmove.
#5 Flag Pattern Breakout: As seen from the weekly chart, the stock was in a strong uptrend after which it started consolidating and was in a narrowing range.
