2 Hot Stocks Poised For Potential Breakout Now

Enjoy this post? Share the love.

Most stocks on our watchlist have already broken out and are extended beyond the initial buy point, but there are still a few strong chart patterns out there. Here are two hot swing trade setups on our radar now.

After six straight days of gains, the NASDAQ pulled back sharply with a late-day sell-off yesterday (May 12).

Given the momentum of the sell-off, stocks may now be heading into correction mode.

However, IF stocks do not follow-through lower in the near-term, don’t miss these two hot potential breakout trades for potential buy entry in the coming days.

$EVER – EverQuote

On May 5, online insurance marketplace EverQuote ($EVER) reacted to a positive earnings report with a massive, one-day gain of +21%.

Volume swelled to more than three times (300%) its average daily level, as mutual funds, hedge funds, and other institutions accumulated shares of $EVER.

EverQuote has been chopping around in a tight range since then, allowing the rising 10-day moving average to catch up and provide support below.

Daily trading volume has dried up over the past week, which is a bullish sign during post-breakout price consolidations:

As with similar breakout trades, look for buying interest to come into the stock if/when it rallies above the short-term downtrend line.

$AMD – Advanced Micro Devices

Semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices ($AMD) led the stock market higher in early April, but sold off after a negative earnings reaction.

Despite initial post-earnings weakness, $AMD found support and reversed just shy of its 50-day moving average.

On May 11, $AMD followed a week of tight-ranged price action by pushing back above both its 10 and 20-day moving averages as well. Increasing volume that day hinted at institutional accumulation and helped confirm the bullish move:

Note that we are already long $AMD in our Wagner Daily model portfolio, with buy entries alerted to subscribers at $53 and $54.80.

Nevertheless, we are currently planning to add to the winning position on a move above resistance of the short-term downtrend line (annotated on chart) OR above the high of the “handle” of this cup with handle pattern.

As always, don’t jump the gun! Be sure to wait for a proper buy trigger before buying either of these swing trade setups.

Most importantly, remember to trade what you see, not what you think!
