SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss near $7.10 (for entry near $10.30) and $9.30 (for entry near $13.60). Note that this stop loss is on a closing basis.

Our target potential upside is 47% to 94% in the next 3-5 months.

Risks to Consider
The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down with high volume from the ascending 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 its sector.
