Hunting For Breakouts

Blazing My Own Trail: Hunting Pre-Breakout Stock Patterns Blazing My Own Trail: Hunting Pre-Breakout Stock Patterns By Shane Shipman, Independent Trader I've come to realize the market rewards people who build their own systems instead of just following everyone else. For the past few months I've been working on a custom pattern scanner that looks for stocks acting like they do right before a big breakout — that quiet, coiled-up phase. I combine it with a simple Finviz filter: stocks near their 52-week lows but showing some real strength (better volume or positive price action). It's given me some really interesting results. It's not perfect and it's definitely not revolutionary, but it's mine. I use historical patterns that look similar, then let algorithms help manage the trades. Lately though, I've started noticing other setups that could work really well alongside what I'm already doing — without making e...

Visa

Visa ($V): Post-Earnings Technical Analysis & Trading Plan Published: May 05, 2026 Visa ($V$) recently reported a strong earnings beat ($3.31 EPS vs. $3.10 expected), yet the price action has remained in a consolidation phase. For swing traders, this "sideways" movement after good news often creates a high-probability setup once a direction is confirmed. Here is the technical breakdown and plan. 1. The Ichimoku Cloud Perspective We are looking for a shift in momentum using the Cloud: Resistance Zone: The stock is currently fighting around the $321–$325 range. A clean daily close above $334 is required to clear the Cloud and signal a bullish trend resumption. Signal Confirmation: Watch for the Tenkan (fast line) to cross above the Kijun (slow line) while price remains above the Cloud for a high-conviction entry. 2. ICT & Market Structure Applying momentum and liquidity concepts to identify inst...
