Weekly Chart – CSWI
#6 Uptrend Unbroken: As you can see from the weekly chart of the stock, the uptrend is still unbroken for the stock, as it has been forming higher highs and higher lows. The stock is also currently trading above its 50-week SMA, indicating overall bullishness.
#7 RSI moving up: The RSI was oversold and is now moving upwards in the weekly chart, indicating a bullish bias.
#8 Support at Fibonacci Level: The weekly chart shows that the stock has been in an uptrend after which it has been correcting. It is now near the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level of this move. Usually, after an up-move, stocks retrace to any of the key Fibonacci levels before resuming its upmove. So, this 61.80% retracement level seems like a good support area.
However, there is also indication of a possible correction in the near-term as the latest candle in the daily chart is a doji, which foretells a possible short-term reversal.
