Stock Technical Analysis: LINC Breaks Out of Flag Pattern

Written by Sidney on August 11, 2009

On a previous stock technical analysis of Lincoln Educational Services (LINC), I highlighted how the stock broke out of its channel-line resistance on Aug 5 on heavy volume.  Over the subsequent 3 trading days, the stock price was tightly confined within 2 parallel, downward-sloping lines, forming a flag pattern (see chart below).  The buy signal was not triggered until today, when the stock price broke above the upper trend line.  LINC bought today at $23.62.
