The diagonal lines act as support and resistance, as evident from the chart. A few weeks ago, the price broke out of this multiyear pattern as a very bullish sign.

Currently, BP share price is retesting the breakout and trading at 548p. In case of acceptance below 550p, the breakout will be nullified and the bears may target the 500p level. However, in case of a successful retest, I expect the price to surge toward 600p level in the coming weeks.
