Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) seems to be poised for a price surge as per its latest charts. The company provides diversified banking, investment, mortgage, and consumer and commercial finance products and services in the United States and internationally.

The company operates through four segments: Consumer Banking and Lending; Commercial Banking; Corporate and Investment Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management.

Bullish Indications

#1 Breakout from Flag Pattern:  The daily chart shows that the stock was in an 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 purple color. Currently, the stock has broken out of the flag. 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).

#5 Downtrend Channel Breakout: As you can see from the weekly chart, the stock had been trading within a downtrend channel during the past few weeks. This is marked in the chart in pink color. Currently, the stock has broken out of the downtrend channel. Once the stock breaks out from a downtrend channel, it has the potential to move further up. The stock is also trading above its 50-week and 200-week SMA. All these are possible bullish indications.
