The well-known American technology company and is primarily a supplier of programmable logic devices, Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) seems to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Breakout: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has been trading within a falling wedge pattern during the past few months. This is marked in the daily chart in pink color. Currently, the stock has broken out of the falling wedge pattern. A Falling Wedge Pattern is a bullish pattern. Once the stock breaks out from it, it has the potential to move further up.
#2 MACD Above Signal Line: The daily chart shows that the MACD line (blue color) has crossed above the signal line (orange color). This is a possible bullish setup.
#3 Above MAs: In the daily chart, the stock is currently trading above its 50-day SMA and 200-day SMA.
This implies that the bulls are gaining control.
#4 Bullish RSI: The RSI is currently above 50 and moving up, indicating possible bullishness.
#5 Bullish ADX: The ADX line is starting to move up from below –DI and +DI lines.
The +DI line is also currently above –DI line.
This indicates possible bullishness.
#6 Support At Fibonacci Level: Usually, after an up-move, stocks retrace to any of the key Fibonacci levels before surging back again. XLNX had taken support at the 50% Fibonacci support level of the upmove and is now above the 61.8% Fibonacci support level, as seen in the weekly chart. This seems like a good point to bounce up higher.
#7 Flag Pattern: As you can see from the weekly chart, the stock was in a strong uptrend after which it started consolidating and was in a narrow range. This is a classic flag pattern and is marked in the chart in pink color. A Flag is a continuation pattern. Whenever a stock breaks out of the flag pattern, it typically continues its previous trend (uptrend in this case). Currently, the stock has broken out of the flag pattern which is a possible bullish sign.
