Tweet This: TWTR Is Bull Flagging

The chart of Twitter is showing a potential bullish continuation pattern ahead of the company's quarterly earnings results.

Security:   TWTR
Position:   N/A

Twitter's previous earnings release was on July 26, when it delivered a big surprise with an EPS of $1.43, when just 8 cents per share was expected. The news caused TWTR to gap higher before it went on to make a new high for the year at $45.86 in early September. Since then, though, the stock has been falling back and almost entirely filled that earnings gap, ahead of its next quarterly results on October 28.

This time, once again investors are expecting a meager 9 cents per share profit. But with Donald Trump's activity on Twitter increasing sharply over the past months, there is a good chance its active monthly users have increased rapidly. So, could the social media company once again trounce expectations?

From a technical point of view, Twitter is currently trending lower inside a bull flag. It has bounced a little from its medium-term bullish trend line around the $38-$40 area. If the stock breaks and holds above the bull flag and resistance in the $40.50-$41.00 area, then that could clear the way for a potential rally towards this year's high at $45.86, or possibly even last year's peak around $47.79.

Conversely, if the stock breaks the bullish trend then a return to the 200-day moving average could not be ruled out.

Overall, with the stock price making longer-term higher highs and higher lows, the path of least resistance is still arguably to the upside, despite its recent short-term losses. So I would prefer looking for bullish patterns to emerge as it tests key support levels, rather than bearish patterns.
