Even in the most bullish stock market, the best growth stocks do not go straight up forever.
Although the NASDAQ Composite remains in a strong bull market, the benchmark tech index has been in “chop mode” since July 13.
However, a few leading growth stocks have been taking advantage of this choppy price action by digesting their recent gains and forming new, tight-ranged bases of price support that could eventually fuel their next big advances.
Continue reading to discover our top three stock picks now setting up for explosive moves higher, as well as learning how to identify this bullish pattern.
When leading growth stocks take a rest, they either quickly pull back from their highs (correction by price) or trade in a sideways consolidation pattern (correction by time).
Each of the three growth stocks below are setting up for their next major rallies have been consolidating in a tight, sideways range.
There are two main factors we look for to confirm a stock’s consolidation pattern is healthy:
After four to five weeks (or more) of choppy, sideways price action, top stocks may be poised to once again break out to another leg higher within the established uptrend.
Below are our three top picks of leading growth stocks that may soon be ready to rip.
Lulelemon ($LULU) cleared the highs of a tight-ranged, flat base pattern two weeks ago, but failed to follow through.
The price remains in a narrow range, and is now holding above the highs of its last base. If not already long, $LULU should be monitored for a breakout entry.
On the annotated weekly chart below, notice how the tight consolidation has been coiling like a spring that’s ready to pop:
After an explosive breakout to new highs earlier this year, Okta Inc. ($OKTA) found support a few weeks ago, at the first touch of its rising 10-week moving average.
This base has been enabling $OKTA to digest the gains of its recent advance. A move above the high of the range is the logical buy point if not already long with full size:
Zoom Video ($ZM), now a work from home household name, rallied 50% from its last base in just seven weeks–a pretty explosive move.
Since this advance, the price found support last week, when $ZM reversed just 15 cents shy of its rising 10-week moving average.
We obviously don’t know whether or not $ZM is ready to move out this week or next, but we already established a half position for subscribers of our Wagner Daily report at the $257 level:
As of the August 5 close, the $ZM position in our model portfolio is currently showing an unrealized gain of +6%.
Additionally, the portfolio of our swing trading newsletter is already long both $OKTA and $LULU, with unrealized closing gains of +3% and 2% respectively.
On a side note, our Wagner Daily model portfolio has been continuing to rack up solid gains from our growth stock swing trades lately.
Here’s a sneak peak at our current open positions, as well as the current unrealized percentage gains:
