The multinational investor-owned healthcare services company based in Dallas, Texas, Tenet Healthcare Corp (NYSE: THC) shows signs of an upcoming price surge according to its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Flag Pattern Breakout: As seen from the daily chart, the stock was in a strong uptrend after which it started consolidating and was in a narrowing range. This is a classic flag pattern and is marked in the chart in pink color. A flag is a continuation pattern. Whenever a stock breaks out of this pattern, it typically continues its previous trend (uptrend in this case). Currently, the stock has broken out of the flag pattern. This is a possible sign of an upcoming bullish move.
