The clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, which engages in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing biopharmaceutical products, Immunomedics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMU) seem to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Breakout: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a symmetrical triangle pattern during the past few months. This is marked in the daily chart in purple color. A symmetrical triangle pattern represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out.

Once a breakout from the upper line occurs, it usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend. Currently, the stock has broken out of the pattern, indicating that it has the potential to move further up.
