Important: Typically, these trades offer a risk: reward ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 in the next 6 months, which implies 2x to 3x rewards when compared to risks. So, be sure to set your stop-loss levels and target prices accordingly to manage your risk. In addition, these trade ideas are triggered using daily closing prices, not intra-day pricing. So, if you participate in these trades, make sure that you only buy the stock once its daily close is above the recommended price level.
That said, here are the top 10 stocks to watch for a breakout, in no particular order.
#1 EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW)
Sector: Financial | Credit Services
Reason: Formation of a Symmetrical Triangle Pattern
A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern formed by two converging trend lines connecting a series of sequential peaks and troughs. These two lines result in the formation of a triangle that appears to be symmetrical.
A symmetrical triangle pattern is usually formed when there is indecision in the price movements and there is uncertainty among the buyers and sellers. This chart pattern represents a period of consolidation before the price breaks out or breaks down. In case a breakout occurs from the upper trend line, it is a strong bullish indication as it signifies the start of a new bullish trend.
Buy Level(s): The ideal buy level for EZPW is if the stock has a daily close above the breakout level of the symmetrical triangle pattern, at around $8.80. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.

Sector: Consumer Cyclical | Auto & Truck Dealerships
Reason: Breakout From an Ascending Triangle Pattern
An ascending triangle pattern is a bullish pattern formed by drawing a horizontal line along the swing highs, and a rising trendline along the swing lows. These two lines result in the formation of a triangle. A breakout from this pattern is typically a strong bullish indication.
Buy Level(s): Although the stock has broken out of the ascending triangle pattern, the ideal buy level for KMX is if the stock has a daily close above the near-term resistance level of $86.50. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.

A stock that has broken out of a falling wedge pattern would have gained momentum and would have the potential to move higher.
Buy Level(s): The stock has currently broken out of a falling wedge pattern. However, the ideal buy level for GRPN is above the nearest resistance level of $6.20. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.
