#2 Oversold RSI in Daily: The daily chart of NSIT shows that RSI is oversold. This shows that the selling momentum is weakening and the trend reversal might be around the corner. This is yet another bullish sign.
#3 Flag Pattern: As seen from the weekly chart below, the stock was in a strong uptrend from February 2016. Then the stock started consolidating and was in a narrow range. This is a classic flag pattern, which is a continuation pattern. Whenever a stock breaks out of the flag pattern, it typically continues its previous trend which is an uptrend in this case.
#4 Weekly Support at Fibonacci Level: The weekly chart of NSIT shows that the stock had been on an uptrend from February 2016 and formed a top in May 2017. Since then, the stock has been correcting. It is now near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of this move from $18.23 to $53.05. Usually, after an up-move, stocks retrace to any of the key Fibonacci levels before surging back again. So, this 38.2% retracement level seems like a good support area.
