The public United States-based corporate services company founded in 2007 as a spin-off from Automatic Data Processing, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) seems to be gearing up for a surge as per its latest charts.

This indicates possible bullishness.

This shows that the bulls are currently in control.
#5 Bullish RSI: The RSI is currently above 50 and moving up, indicating the strength of the current upmove.
#6 Cup and Handle pattern : The weekly chart of BR shows that the stock is forming a cup and handle pattern. This is marked in the chart in pink color. The cup and handle pattern is a consolidation and breakout pattern and a breakout from it would indicate that the stock may move higher in the short term.
