Diversified global developer, manufacturer and seller of security and inspection products, medical devices, and optoelectronic-based components, as well as a provider of engineering and manufacturing services, OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) seems to be getting ready for a price bump as per the latest charts.
Bullish Move – Chart Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Breakout: As you can see from the daily chart of OSIS, the stock had been forming a falling wedge pattern for the past several months. This is marked as blue color lines. OSIS had previously taken support at the bottom of the wedge before bouncing back again. The stock has currently broken out of the falling wedge pattern after taking support at the bottom of the wedge. A falling wedge is a bullish pattern and a breakout from it implies that the stock may move higher in the short term.
