DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN) seems to be poised for a price surge based on its latest charts. The company operates a cloud computing platform in North America, Europe, Asia, and internationally. The company's platform provides on-demand infrastructure and platform tools for developers, start-ups, and small and growing digital businesses.
The stock was also a part of our recent watchlist for breakout stocks.
Bullish Indications
#1 Falling Wedge Pattern Breakout
: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock had been forming a falling wedge pattern for the past few weeks. These are marked as purple color lines. The stock has currently broken out of the falling wedge pattern and looks poised for an upmove. A falling wedge is a bullish pattern and a breakout from it implies that the stock may move higher in the short term.

Recommended Trade (based on the charts)
Buy Levels: If you want to get in on this trade, you can purchase shares of DOCN above the price of around $34.20.
TP: Our target prices are $40 and $44 in the next 3-6 months.
SL: To limit risk, place stop-loss at $31. Note that the stop-loss is on a closing basis.
Our target potential upside is 17% to 29% in the next 3 to 6 months.
For a risk of $3.20, our target rewards are $5.80 and $9.80. This is a nearly 1:2 and 1:3 risk-reward trade.
In other words, this trade offers nearly 2x to 3x more potential upside than downside.
Risks to Consider
The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down from the falling wedge pattern with a high volume. The sell-off of the stock could also be triggered in case of any negative news, overall weakness in the market, or any regulatory changes in the sector.
Happy Trading!
