DFS has a platform trend since the highs and lows are very consistent, suggesting controlled buying over time. It had a compression pattern before the pop out of the box white candle and a small gap up candle as the first attempt to break out to the upside. The stock may drop back into the platform range but if it holds, it's a good indication that earnings have improved. This is an example of a good pattern to watch for a pre-earnings run setup with potential to swing trade to earnings. Discover reports July 17th.
