Bullish Indications
#1 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Breakout: A symmetrical triangle pattern has been formed in the daily chart as shown below. This is marked in pink color dotted lines. This pattern is usually formed when there is an indecision in the price movements and uncertainty among the buyers and sellers. It represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out or breaks down. Currently, the stock has broken out of the symmetrical triangle pattern. This usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend.
