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 Southern Company (NYSE: SO)
Sector: Utilities • Utilities – Regulated Electric
Reason: Formation of an Uptrend Channel
An uptrend channel or an ascending channel is the price action contained between upward sloping parallel lines. It is formed by a lower trend line that connects the swing lows, and an upper channel line that joins the swing highs. A stock usually trades between the two rails of the uptrend channel before finally breaking out from the upper rail.
Buy Level(s): The ideal buy level for SO is if the stock breaks out of the uptrend channel and has a daily close above $98.40. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.

#2 Neogenomics Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO)
Sector: Healthcare • Diagnostics & Research

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 NEO is if the stock closes above the immediate resistance level of $9.50. This is marked in the chart below as a green color dotted line.
