This Stock Has the Potential to Move Further Up

The largest operator of membership warehouse clubs in Central America and the Caribbean, PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT) seem to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts.

Bullish Indications

#1 Downtrend Channel Breakout: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a downtrend channel during the past few months. This is marked in the daily chart in purple color. Currently, the stock has broken out of the downtrend channel.

#4 MACD above Signal Line: The MACD (light blue color) is currently above the MACD signal line (orange color) in the daily chart.

This typically indicates a bullish setup.

#5 Bullish ADX and DI: The ADX indicator shows bullishness because (+DI) is greater than (-DI), ADX and (+DI) are above (-DI), and ADX has moved up from below (-DI).

#6 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern: The weekly chart shows that the stock has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern.

This pattern is shown as pink lines. A symmetrical triangle pattern represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out. This is typically formed when there is indecision in the price movements and uncertainty among the buyers and sellers. Once a breakout from the upper line occurs, it usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend. Currently, the stock is near the upper rail of the pattern.
