W-shaped patterns work best at the bottom of a major downtrend but they can also be seen as a trend continuation patterns. On this weekly chart there are three W-shape bottom formations that appeared in 2018, 2019 and recently in 2021 and all the three appeared with in an existing uptrend. In such a case we can play this pattern with conservative targets. In the last two occasions the stock rallied up to 1.27-1.618 extension levels. In 2021 too we can expect these targets which come at around 2514-2699.
