Another interesting chart is on Rallis.
There are two somewhat less known patterns here, both appearing in quick succession: The Rising Wedge and the Falling Wedge.
A Rising Wedge is potentially bearish, while a Falling Wedge is often a bullish reversal.
Both are rather like triangle patterns, with the condition that the highs and the lows would be converging.
The two Trendlines for each of the Wedge formations clearly appear to be narrowing and seem to be heading for a meeting.
In the case of the Rising Wedge, the upper Trendline, or the line of resistance, is visibly falling lower compared to the supportline, which is slanting up steeply. The tops here want to press lower.
In the Falling Wedge, the upper falling Trendline is steeper compared to the lower line connecting the lows. The lows are obviously appearing to be firming up.
A Rising Wedge will take the rally to new highs on flat volumes.
The stock in question does appear to be doing well with higher highs and higher lows.
In reality, the stock is being passed on by savvy investors/traders to weak, speculative players.
Eventually the stock will fall with demand steadily drying up.
The converse is true of the Falling Wedge in a downtrend, where it appears as a reversal pattern, rather than a continuation pattern, which at times it tends to do.
As can be seen in the charts of Rallis at 327 tonight, the supportline at 300 forms a strong base to the Falling Wedge. Its the same line that gave resistance in the past.
The price has broken above the upper Trendline of the Falling Wedge in the last week of March.
An interesting point to note is that the 20 and 50 day SMA are quite close together at 322 and 328 respectively. The 200 day SMA falls further up at 347.
As a point of importance, a stock when crossing above its 200 day SMA is considered quite bullish.
Looking at EMAs, at 327 close tonight, the 8, 13 and 34 day EMAs are 328.70, 327.90 and 329.80. Again they are bunched together, and just a tad above the current price.
Again as a point of importance, the 50 day EMA is further up at 335, and a stock passing above its 50 day EMA is considered bullish.
So the 200 day SMA at 347, and the 50 day EMA at 335 are only a little above the current price at 327.
Also note the Trendline/resistance line at 347 would also act as a trigger, once taken.
To track Rallis as a trade setup, above 335-347, the first target would be 425, which is the highest mark back in the first week of January. 385 and 398 are likely resistance levels.
S/l is 299 at this point.
