The biopharmaceutical company aimed at developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of rare genetic disorders of obesity, Rhythm Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: RYTM) seems to be poised for a price surge according to its charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern breakout: The daily charts shows that the stock was forming a symmetrical triangle pattern during the past several weeks. This pattern is marked in pink color 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 trend line occurs, it usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend. Currently, the stock has broken out of the symmetrical triangle pattern. This is a possible bullish sign.
