The home construction company based in Horsham, Pennsylvania that specializes in building luxury homes, Toll Brothers Inc. (NYSE: TOL) seems to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Pattern: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a falling wedge pattern during the past few weeks. This is marked in the daily chart in orange color. A Falling Wedge Patter is a bullish pattern. Once the stock moves up and breaks out from it, it has the potential to move further up.
Daily Chart – TOL
#2 Double Bottom Pattern Being Formed: The daily chart of TOL shows that a double bottom is being formed within the falling wedge pattern. This is marked in the daily chart in purple color. A Double bottom pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, indicating that the stock could possibly move upwards shortly.
[hana-code-insert name=’adsense-article’ /]#3 MACD above Signal Line: The daily chart of TOL shows that the MACD (light blue color) is currently above the MACD signal line (orange color).
When this happens, a potential buy signal is generated.
The stock is also trading above its 200-day SMA, indicating that the bulls are still in control.
#4 Pennant: The stock was in a strong uptrend for the past several months.
Then the stock started consolidating and was in a narrow range.
This is a pennant pattern, which is a continuation pattern. This is marked as blue line in the weekly chart. Whenever a stock breaks out of the pennant pattern, it typically continues its previous trend which is an uptrend in this case.
Weekly Chart – TOL
#5 Unbroken Uptrend in Weekly Chart: As evident from the weekly chart, the stock is in an uptrend as it has been making higher highs and higher lows for the past several months. The stock price is above the 50-week and 200-week SMA, and the 50-week SMA has crossed above the 200-week SMA. All these are possible bullish signs.
#6 Support at Fibonacci Level: The stock had taken support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the move from $26.81 to $52.73. Usually, after an up-move, stocks retrace to any of the key Fibonacci levels before resuming its upmove. So, this 61.80% retracement level seems like a good support area.
