This Stock Has Broken Out

The Massachusetts-based company that provides software as a service and cloud-based remote connectivity services for collaboration, IT management and customer engagement, LogMeIn Inc. (NASDAQ: LOGM) seems to be getting ready for a price bump as per the latest charts.

Bullish Move – Chart Indications

#1 Falling Wedge Pattern: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been forming a falling wedge pattern for the past few months. This is marked as purple color lines. The stock is currently near the upper rail of the falling wedge pattern after taking support at the bottom of the wedge. A falling wedge is a bullish pattern and a breakout from it implies that the stock may move higher in the short term.
