The international software company whose core team is largely drawn from the founders of Ludicorp, the company that created Flickr, Slack Technologies Inc. (NYSE: WORK) seems to be ready for a price surge according to its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Descending Triangle Pattern Breakout: The stock’s daily chart shows that it has recently broken out of a descending triangle pattern in an upward direction. This descending triangle pattern is marked in purple color on the daily chart. An upward breakout from a bearish pattern like a descending Triangle is typically a good bullish sign.

#2 MACD above Signal Line: As you can see from the daily chart, the MACD line (blue color) is currently above the MACD signal line (orange color). This indicates a possible bullish bias.
#3 Price above MA: The stock is currently trading above its 50-day SMA.
This shows that the bulls are currently in control.
#4 Bullish ADX: The ADX line is starting to move up from below –DI and +DI lines.
The +DI line and ADX lines are also currently above the –DI line.
This indicates possible bullishness.
#5 Bullish Aroon: The value of Aroon Up (orange line) is above 70 while Aroon Down (blue line) is below 30 in the daily chart. This indicates possible bullishness.

Weekly Chart – WORK
#7 Double Bottom Pattern Breakout: From the weekly chart, we can see that the stock had recently consolidated and formed a double bottom pattern. This pattern is marked in pink color in the chart. A double bottom pattern is a strong bullish pattern and a breakout from it usually foretells the possibility of an upmove in the short term.
#8 %K above %D: The stochastics reveal that the %K line is currently above the %D line in the weekly chart. This is a possible bullish sign.
#9 Bullish MACD: The MACD line (blue color) is currently above the MACD signal line (orange color) in the weekly chart as well. This indicates a possible bullish bias.

Buy Price: If you want to get in on this trade, the ideal buy level for WORK is above yesterday’s close. This translates to a price above $26.60.
TP: Our target prices are $32 and $40 in the next 3-6 months.
SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss at $23.40. Note that the stop loss is on a closing basis.
Our target potential upside is almost 20% to 50% in the next 3-6 months.

Risks to Consider
The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down with high volume from the breakout level of the descending triangle pattern. 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.
Happy trading!
