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 line occurs, it usually signifies the start of a new bullish trend. Currently, the stock has broken out of the symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating possible bullishness.

To carry out Trump's Executive Order #14196 initiative, the administration will have to partner with a handful of U.S. companies that control the "reserve accounts" sitting on trillions of dollars' worth of untapped natural resources. I've spent months digging into this – and I've identified three companies that have already been granted "emergency status" and fast-track approvals. I believe their shares could skyrocket once new capital starts moving into the sector. See the three stocks that I expect to be the biggest winners as this plan rolls.
