OANDO Chart
Looking at the chart you can see that the stock came down gradually with the oil price before the major market correction that kept the southward movement to a support level of N12.83.But it recently reversed to form up trend after the elections.  As we expect the stock to maintain up-trend on the green line to the first resistance line at N20 to give a return of 10.13 per cent.
The second target is the yellow resistance level, which is the green line, would give a return of 25.59 per cent and the third target is the brown resistance line with expected return of 32.16 per cent.
The last blue resistance line would give a return of 48.68 percent. Any further break out below the new support level and red line at N16 and a stop loss of N1.66 which is anything not below N16 to protect your capital from further loss.  The upside potential of this stock is high because of the company closeness to the new government.
