This is marked in purple color in the daily chart below.

#2 Oversold RSI in Daily: The daily chart shows that RSI is currently at oversold levels. This shows that the selling momentum is weakening and the trend reversal might be around the corner. This is another bullish sign.
#3 Pennant Pattern: As seen from the weekly chart below, the stock was in a strong uptrend from February 2016. Then the stock started consolidating and was in a narrow range. This is a classic pennant pattern, which is a continuation pattern. Whenever a stock breaks out of the pennant pattern, it typically continues its previous trend which is an uptrend in this case.
Weekly Chart – SUPN
#4 Weekly Support at Fibonacci Level: The weekly chart of NSIT shows that the stock had been on an uptrend from January 2016 and formed a top in June 2018. Since then, the stock has been correcting. It is now near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of this move. Usually, after an up-move, stocks retrace to any of the key Fibonacci levels before surging back again. So, this retracement level seems like a good support area.
#5 RSI Nearing Oversold: From the weekly chart of SUPN, it is evident that the RSI is near oversold levels. This indicates that the stock may reverse to upside soon.
