Good morning, one for the "UPS"

UPS (Added by Master RSI on Thu 19 Apr 08:50 am)

SCR - Mid 6p
Reason - Improving share price and volume since yesterday, on a very good chart of Inverted Head and shoulders, soon ready for a breakout of the downtrend into UPTREND
-----------------
From the UPS thread yesterday..............
Noticed Last Monday the shape of an Inverted Head & shoulder pattern so I done the chart, but I was expecting to stay around the same price doing the right shoulder a bit longer before the rise

and another one from yesterday......
