Recommended Trade (based on the charts)

Buy Price: If you want to get in on this trade, you can purchase half the intended quantity of shares of TGI if it opens above Friday’s close. This translates to a price of around $24. The rest of the shares can be purchased if the stock closes above the upper wick of Friday’s candle, at around $26.

TP: Our first target price is $33 and the second target price is $36 in the next 3-6 months based on the IH&S pattern breakout.

SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss below $20.50 (for entry near $24) and $22.20 (for entry near $26). Note that this stop loss is on a closing basis.

Our target potential upside is almost 27% to 50% in the next 3-6 months.

  • Entry at $24: For a risk of $3.50, our first target reward is $9.00 and second target reward is $12.00. This is a 1:2 and 1:3 risk-reward trade.
  • Entry at $26: For a risk of $3.80, our first target reward is $7.00 and second target reward is $10.00. This is a 1:2 and 1:3 risk-reward trade.

In other words, this trade offers nearly 2x to 3x more potential upside than downside.

Risks to Consider
The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down with high volume from the Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern breakout level. The sell-off of the stock could also be triggered in case of any negative news, overall weakness in the market, or any regulatory changes in the sector.
