CVNA - Trending but volatileCVNA had broken out of its basing formation neckline (a region between $17- $20) on 8 Jun on huge volume. It hit a high of 28.52 on 16 June before pulling back to retest near the neckline @ 20, then rebounded again from there.
IT's trend is in earlys stage yet with immediate suport @ 20. However be mindful that lower priced stocks tend to have huge volatility (both up and down). Hence it is important to position size accordingly or chose to exit if it pulls back beyond a certain % and wait for entry again once there are signs that the short term correction is over.
Watch out for resistences on the way up around $42 and also around $53+. Also be careful around earning releases.

Basebreakout
CFLT - New trend emergingCFLT broke above a basing neckline on 2nd June and has now pulled back to retest this neckline for since the last few days. So far, this neckline is still proving to be a support and it could be a good time to stake into the new uptrend that is emerging (with initial stop loss below the neckline at $31.50).
Other technical factors that have lined up to increase its odds of success are:
1. Basing for the last 12 months (the long the basing period, the more sustainable the new trend)
2. now trading above it's 200 day moving average with a golden cross on 31st May
3. good increase in volume (ie., accumulation) seen in the weeks leading to the breakup on 2nd June
The next area of strong resistence (aka supply) could be around $43 - $45 (which is 22-25% upside from here). There is a reasonable chance that it could go beyond this level in the coming months, however, I will manage trade with trailing stop loss along the way up. Sometimes it is ok to be stopped out prematurely (high chance in a volatile market) but we can always re-establish a position once the consolidation is over and momentum returns.

PLTR - breaking out from base PLTR had been basing in the past 1 year and is now attempting to break out above the neckline @ 11.62. During this basing, there were some strong volume accumulation in Feb and then again in May (both times earnings inspired).
A breakup on strong volume is always desirable and increased the odds of a sustainable rise, with near term target @ 14.50 (and good odds to rise further eventually). Any near term retracement after the breakup should ideally not bring it back below 11.60, as this would affirm that the neckline has then become the new support as it begins to trend. Whether this will happen remains to be seen though, and a "breakup and retest" (if it happens) will offer a lower risk opportunity to Long the stock close to neckline with initial stop loss placed slightly below.

AMKR - Amkor Technology, Inc.Top of my focus list going into the upcoming week. Growth numbers are good, increasing number of funds buying shares, earnings still two weeks away.
On a technical basis, a surge in volume took prices thru some key highs and now we're seeing an orderly consolidation with good looking volume patterns.
Ideally, we get another volume surge that takes us thru last week's highs around 30.50.
WFRD - Weatherford InternationalSitting near all-time highs, WFRD is one of the strongest looking setups in the market. Enormous EPS growth estimates for next year, coiling up tightly post-earnings, showing massive relative strength.
A breakout on volume for this name would be one of the very few breakouts that I would trust in the current market. Energy stocks seem to have the ability to be one of the few areas of the market that's able to kick the bear in the face.
SAM - Time to bottoms up?After having fallen a whopping nearly 79% from it's peak in April 2021, SAM appears to be finally turning the corner, after forming a rounded base in the past 7-8 months.
It hit rock bottom on 16 June, right where it was a former low during Covid crisis (March 2020). A month later, there was a strong spike in volume due to earnings beat (by 1.11%, not too fantastic, but still a beat nevertheless). The stock then pretty much went nowhere until last Friday, after it reported a much stronger earnings beat this time.
What is significant this time is that it managed to gap up and close above the base formation neckline @ 396, a 19.7% rise within a day. Weekly RSI is strong and rising.
However there is a near term resistance at 407 and we could see some consolidation around there. Buy the dips is probably a good idea.

DUOL - Duolingo, Inc (IDEA)Solid setup emerging as this stock has based all year long and has major signs of accumulation since its earnings report in mid-May as it forms the right side of a base. Volatility remains contracted near the breakout level, which is a big plus.
Potential entry trigger - break over last weeks highs.
IMGN - ImmunoGen, Inc.Setup - simple base breakout after a solid 70% move off the lows followed by 5 weeks of consolidation. Earnings during consolidation were below expectation. However, after a slight selloff, shares were gobbled back up and volatility was squeezed out right below the breakout level. Half size because the broad market is running a bit hot and could be due for a pullback relatively soon.
CEIX - Coal industry setting upCEIX is leader in the coal industry. Trending. Look for entry points along the way.
Tradingview has a nice feature to paste images so I will try it out.
The image is a weekly view of the DOW JONES COAL industry. A weekly breakout from a pivot point exceeding the past 8 weeks.

JUL 22 36C or AUG 2 38C can work.
