A falling wedge is a bullish pattern and a breakout from it implies that the stock may move higher in the short term.

#4 Bullish ADX: The ADX indicator shows that the +DI line is currently above the –DI line and the ADX line has started to move up from below the –DI and +DI lines. This indicates possible bullishness.

#5 Bullish RSI: The RSI is above 50 and moving higher, indicating bullishness.

#6 Above Support Area: As you can see from the weekly chart, the stock has currently moved up from a support level. This level is marked as a pink color dotted line. This looks like a good area for the stock to move higher.

#6 %K above %D: The %K (blue) line of stochastic has currently crossed above the %D (Orange) line in the weekly chart. This is a possible bullish indication.

#7 Bullish MACD: The MACD line is above the MACD signal line in the weekly chart as well, indicating bullishness.
