I see this chart as a slight downtrend, followed by a break out to a slight uptrend. This uptrend could also have been interpreted as a double bottom. Then there’s a big gap due to a takeover offer which took the price to a new high, after which a series of channels formed. I’ve also shown with dashed lines what you might interpret as inclined double bottoms and tops.
