#3 Downtrend Channel: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a downtrend channel during the past few weeks.

Recommended Trade (based on the charts)

Buy Levels: If you want to get in on this trade, the ideal buy level of INGR is if the stock breaks out of the downtrend channel and symmetrical triangle pattern. This translates to a price of around $95.

TP: Our target prices are $100 and $105 based on the breakout from the Symmetrical Triangle pattern.

SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss near $93.30. Note that this stop loss is on a closing basis.

Our target potential upside is 5% to 11% in the next 3-5 months. For a risk of $1.70, the target rewards are $5.00 and $10.00. This is a nearly 1:3 and 1:6 risk-reward trade.

In other words, this trade offers nearly 3x to 6x more potential upside than downside.

Risks to Consider

The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down with high volume from the symmetrical triangle pattern. The sell-off of the stock could also be triggered in case of any negative news, overall weakness in the market, or any regulatory changes in its sector.
