Yes that is right. American Apparel (APP) what was once a company left for dead, and still a risky turn around play, is now starting to look good from a technical perspective. The chart below shows a Rounded Bottom forming. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is bullish and rising and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) is positive and supporting a push higher. A move over 1.22 sees resistance next at 1.55 and then 1.80. Moving out to the weekly chart shows that the move higher has a lot of room to get up to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 4.36.

The RSI on this timeframe is also bullish and rising, with a flat MACD. The Bollinger band expansion higher looks good as well. But focus on the Andrew’s Pitchfork. The recent thrust higher started after a break above the Hagopian Trigger Line, a buy signal. Don’t follow the Pitchfork? That’s ok, notice then that the 100 week Simple Moving Average (SMA) which has closely approximated that Trigger Line, was also broken for the first time in 4 years!

This is not for everyone as it still has a hard road ahead. But Hagopian Trigger, over the 100 week SMA, Rounded Bottom, yes it has a lot of positive things going for it. Oh, and one more thing about that Rounded Bottom. American Apparel seems very adept at dealing with Rounded Bottoms.
