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 SilverBow Resources Inc. (NYSE: SBOW)
Sector: Energy • Oil & Gas E&P
Reason: Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Breakout
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 stock has currently broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern. However, the ideal buy level for SBOW is if the stock closes above the immediate resistance level of $38.50. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.
