3 Blue-Chip Tech Stocks Look Set For New All-Time Highs

Facebook Inc’s FB stock was the first of the big five tech stocks to turn around amid a seven-week long tech rout. The rout, which started mid-February and lasted throughout March, saw the Nasdaq 100 retrace 12% from its Feb. 16 all-time high.

Alphabet Inc GOOG and Microsoft Corporation MSFT shares have caught up, however, and all three stocks made new all-time highs on Monday.

The Daily Chart: The Alphabet, Facebook and Microsoft charts are similar as all three made a new all-time high this week and appear to be consolidating in a bull flag pattern on the four-hour chart.

The Four-Hour Charts: On all three charts the last six candles form a bull flag, which is a very bullish trading pattern. The last three candles from Tuesday’s session form a descending channel that makes up the flag.

The three candles previous to that, from Monday’s trading session, make up the pole of the bull flag pattern with their sharp rising action.

Traders and investors can watch for an upward break of the top line of the descending channel for a large move to the upside. However, if the stocks continue to consolidate traders and investors can zoom out to the daily chart to watch for the bull flag to develop over the coming days.
