Breakout Setups

I like to scan the 52-week highs list regularly to see if there are some sweet swing setups. I did find a few that 1) broke and closed at or above resistance, 2) all made 52-week highs. It is an obvious sign of strength when stocks are breaking out to new 52-week highs while the market remains in a neutral range. In addition, follow up checks on a stock’s sector group is encouraged as you may find those stocks mimicking the same patterns.

First chart is a 3-mo of the SPX. It is still caught between the 50/100-day MAs.

    Could one argue the SPX chart setup is forming a bull flag? Lets say we get some good news…looks like we could break higher albeit on low volume. Im a newbie so any thoygjts would be helpful! Thanks

    CA,

    For those of us who would get in at today’s close and have to stay in at least until tomorrow close (mutual funds), do you enough support at or around the 20day.

    Thanks!
