Synopsis: Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation Ltd is forming an ascending triangle pattern on the 30-minute chart, suggesting the possibility of a short-term bullish breakout.
An ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern marked by higher lows and a flat resistance level, forming a triangle that signals increasing buying pressure toward resistance. The chart shows a confirmed bullish breakout above horizontal resistance. Supported by strong volume, it signals rising buying pressure and a potential near-term upward move.
