The American multinational investment bank and financial services company headquartered in New York City, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) seems to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Pattern: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a falling wedge pattern during the past few weeks. This is marked in the daily chart in purple color. Falling Wedge Patter is a bullish pattern. Once the stock moves up and breaks out from it, it has the potential to move further up.
Note: the stock was in a strong uptrend for the past several months. Then the stock started consolidating and was in a narrow range. This is a classic flag pattern, which is a continuation pattern. (flagpole is marked in a green color line in the daily chart) Whenever a stock breaks out of the flag pattern, it typically continues its previous trend which is an uptrend in this case.
