This Stock Looks Ready to Move Higher in the Short Term

The manufacturer of radio-frequency identification devices and software, IMPINJ Inc. (NASDAQ: PI) seems to be gearing up for a surge as per its latest charts.

Bullish Indications

#1 Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Breakout: The daily chart shows that the stock had recently broken out of a Symmetrical Triangle pattern. This is a continuation pattern and is characterized by two converging trend lines connecting a series of sequential peaks and troughs. This pattern is marked on the daily chart as pink color lines. The breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern usually signifies the start of a bullish move.

Daily Chart – PI

#2 Price above MAs: The price is currently above both the short-term moving average of 50-day SMA and the longer-term moving average of 200-day SMA. This usually implies a possible bullish bias for the stock.

#3 %K above %D: The %K line of the stochastic is currently above the %D line, indicating bullishness.

#4 MACD above Signal Line: As you can see from the daily chart, the MACD line (blue color) is currently above the signal line (orange color), indicating a possible bullish bias.

#5 Bullish ADX and DI: The ADX indicator shows bullishness because (+DI) is greater than (-DI), and ADX is rising from below both (+DI) and (-DI).

#6 IH&S Pattern Breakout: As you can see from the weekly chart, the stock has currently broken out of an Inverted Head and Shoulders (IH&S) pattern. This IH&S pattern is marked in the chart in orange color. An IH&S pattern is a strong bullish pattern and a breakout from this pattern indicates that the stock may move higher in the short term.

Weekly Chart – PI

#7 Bullish MACD: In the weekly chart as well, the MACD line is above the MACD signal line, indicating possible bullishness.

#8 %K above %D: The %K line of the stochastic is currently above the %D line in the weekly chart as well, which is a possible bullish sign.
