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 NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE: NEE)
Sector: Utilities • Utilities – Regulated Electric
Reason: Downtrend Channel Breakout
A downtrend or descending channel is the price action contained between downward sloping parallel lines. It is formed by two lines that are drawn by connecting the lower highs and lower lows of a stock’s price. Even though this is typically a bearish pattern, a breakout from the upper rail of this pattern is considered a good bullish indication.
Buy Level(s): The daily chart shows that the stock has currently broken out of a downtrend channel. However, there is a near-term resistance level for the stock. Hence, the ideal buy level for NEE is if the stock has a daily close above $73.10. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.

#2 Paramount Global (NASDAQ: PARA)
Sector: Communication Services • Entertainment
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 PARA is if the stock has a daily close above the breakout level of the symmetrical triangle pattern, at around $11.30. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.
Daily chart – PARA
PARA – Symmetrical Triangle Pattern
#3 Grindr Inc. (NYSE: GRND)
Sector: Technology • Software – Application
Reason: Breakout From a Flag Pattern
A flag pattern is a short-term continuation pattern that marks a small consolidation before the previous move resumes. The pattern is formed when the market consolidates in a narrow range after a sharp move. For a stock in an uptrend, a breakout from this pattern is typically a strong bullish indication.
Buy Level(s): Although the stock has currently broken out of the flag pattern, the ideal buy level for GRND is above the near-term resistance level of $18.30. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.

Sector: Communication Services • Internet Content & Information
Reason: Falling Wedge Pattern Breakout

A breakout from a falling wedge pattern can indicate either reversal or continuation depending on where the pattern appeared in the trend.
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 BIDU is above the nearest resistance level of $89.00. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.
