Long Trade in DNUTWho makes the best donuts on Earth? Don’t you dare say Dunkin’. Krispy Kreme is king, and I won’t hear anything to the contrary.
Regardless of who makes your favorite cream-filled pastry, take a look at the weekly chart of DNUT above.
This setup is fairly straight forward. The stock has not been able to breach the $16 level despite several attempts over the last six months. A close above $16, especially on above average volume, would be my trigger to buy.
DNUT is beginning a new Stage 2 uptrend here, and buying the first breakout of the second stage can often lead to a multi-month run. As a longer-term trade, I would consider risking up to 15% on it.
If it plays out as expected, DNUT should make new all-time highs.
Breakouttrade
Long Trade in MUMicron is a semiconductor stock riding some of the momentum from yesterday’s earnings beat at Nvidia.
Notice the textbook breakout pattern that has formed over the last three months – a series of shallowing retracements with resistance at $64.
The 200-day moving average is finally turning up and other MA's are properly stacked and trending higher.
This is the first breakout into a new Stage 2 uptrend which is exactly where I like to buy. Look to build a position in the mid $60s if possible.
The trade sours if it closes below its 50-day moving average (red line on chart) which is currently around $62 and rising.
IOC could burst into an upward move.IOC has formed a bullish structure on the weekly chart. A crucial aspect is a weekly RSI close above 60. It is also about to break out from a down trending line. A long position could be considered keeping the following levels in mind:
LONG ABOVE: 81.55
STOP LOSS: 77.95
TARGET 1: 85.15
TARGET 2: 88.75
Please do wait for at least a 15 min candle close above the "LONG ABOVE " level before initiating the trade.

Long Trade in FNKOFunko took a beating in last year’s bear market, but the stock is quickly coming back to life.
FNKO surged on earnings last week and has given back almost none of the initial move.
Shares are barely retracing and doing so on minimal volume – a sign that no one is selling.
This trade is pretty simple – draw a trend line and buy when it breaks above it. I forgot to publish this on Friday, but Monday's action is pretty much exactly what I was hoping to see.
A good breakout should not retrace to the low of this consolidation (currently 10.74), so you could take a stab at this one with very little risk.
Long Trade in ONONOn Holdings, the maker of OnCloud tennis shoes found on soccer moms everywhere, is one of the hottest stocks in the market right now.
It went public in 2021, just in time to get hammered in the bull market.
But shares have come back with a vengeance.
ONON has already doubled this year and is making new all-time highs as I write this.
Notice the textbook consolidation pattern followed by a pocket pivot breakout through resistance. This is healthy action and exactly what we expect from stocks under institutional accumulation.
We have a little time before this one reports earnings. The announcement is scheduled for a week from Tuesday on May 16th before market open. If I had a profit cushion of at least 10%, I’d probably hold this one through the report.
Breakout Trade in VNTVontier is an industrial machinery company setting up in a textbook breakout pattern.
After surging more than 50% off the October lows and reclaiming its 200-day moving average, shares have consolidated in a series of shallowing pullbacks. Retracements have tightened from 11% to 7% to just 4.5% with resistance at 27.50.
Look for a breakout above 27.60 on above average volume as the entry trigger. My stop would be just beneath the swing low at 26.15 to risk 5% on the trade.
Long Trade in DKNGThe leisure gaming group, as a whole, is setting up in a textbook breakout pattern.
Group moves like this can be powerful. The combination of a group move and a similar pattern from an individual stock within that group can lead to a strong advance higher.
DraftKings is breaking out of a clean base in the beginning of a new Stage 2 uptrend.
If you look at a daily chart, you'll see the stock is up 13% this week but running into longer term resistance.
Ideally, DKNG would consolidate for a few days in the HKEX:21 - HKEX:22 range to absorb any supply from sellers looking to exit near 52-week highs.
There are 2 places I would consider buying this stock…
First would be a breakout to new highs above HKEX:22 on above average volume. This would signal to me that funds are still buying heavy, and I would want to be along for the ride.
The other potential buy point would be a pullback into the moving averages and this week’s breakout area.
At HKEX:19 - HKEX:20 a share, I would be a buyer in DKNG with a sell stop just beneath the 50-day moving average.
Long Trade in IGTThe leisure gaming group, as a whole, is setting up in a textbook breakout pattern.
Group moves like this can be powerful. The combination of a group move and a similar pattern from an individual stock within that group can lead to a strong advance higher.
IGT stock just made new 52-week highs.
After a shakeout move in mid-March, the stock completed a textbook cup-with-handle pattern and broke out through resistance at $27.
The 200-day moving average has turned up, and all other key moving averages are trending higher and supporting the stock.
Depending on one’s risk tolerance, IGT could be bought here.
My stop would be at 25.75, just below the 50-day moving average and the recent swing low. That would equate to a risk of 8.4% on the trade.
If IGT pulls back to the HKEX:27 area, that would be a great place for a pullback buy or to add on to the position.
Long Trade in EXASExact Sciences is a biotech stock showing high relative strength.
Following a 50% jump in January, the stock is tightening with pullbacks getting shallower from left to right.
This is a sign of seller digestion which we often see before a new breakout to the upside.
EXAS is also finding support at key moving averages which appear to be holding up the stock.
I would consider buying on a breakout above $69.
DOTUSDT Time to breakout?DOTUSDT is currently in an accumulation phase, as the market is consolidating below the key level of $7 on a weekly basis. During this phase, the price has been printing Higher Highs and Higher Lows, which indicates that buyers have been gradually gaining strength over sellers.
An accumulation phase is typically characterized by a period of sideways movement in the price, as buyers and sellers work to establish a new equilibrium. This can often take place after a prolonged downtrend, when investors are looking for a bottom in the market.
In the case of DOTUSDT, the accumulation phase is occurring below the important $7 level, which is a critical area of support and resistance. This level has held as a strong barrier to upside movement in the past, and as such, any potential breakout above it could signal a significant shift in market sentiment.
As we wait for a new breakout, it's important to keep an eye on Plancton's rules, which are a set of guidelines for identifying potential market movements. If and when a new breakout occurs, we can apply these rules to help guide our decision-making and potentially open a new long position.

GALAUSDT is ready for the breakout?The current price of GALAUSDT is testing a dynamic resistance level in the $0.05 area where the market also has a static daily resistance level. Additionally, the price is creating an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which is a technical chart pattern that may indicate a potential trend reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.
An inverse head and shoulders pattern consists of three distinct troughs or valleys with the middle trough being the lowest, forming the "head," and the two outer troughs forming the "shoulders." The middle trough or the "head" is typically lower than the shoulders, and the pattern is completed when the price breaks above the "neckline," which is a trend line drawn connecting the high points between the shoulders.
If the price of GALAUSDT is able to break out from the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern and the market satisfies Plancton’s rules, it may be a signal for a long position. To satisfy Plancton’s rules, a trader may have a predetermined entry price, set stop loss and take profit levels to manage risk and maximize profits, and monitor the price action for any signs of a trend reversal or invalidation of the initial analysis.

MKRUSDT is loading a breakout?MKRUSDT recently experienced a false breakout from the daily resistance level, which is a key level that often represents a point of strong supply and demand. When the price breaks through this level, it can indicate a significant shift in market sentiment and a potential change in trend direction.
However, in this case, the breakout turned out to be false and the price is currently inside a descending channel. The market will need to create a new breakout from the static resistance level at around $760 for any long continuation to occur. This level is another key area of support and resistance and is a crucial level to monitor as it can indicate the direction of future price movement.
If the price breaks above this resistance level, we can apply Plancton's Strategies, a set of guidelines for identifying potential market movements, to help guide our decision-making and potentially open a new long position.
According to Plancton's strategy , we can set a nice order

Long trade in TOSTTOST went public in late 2021 - just in time to get slaughtered in last year's bear market. But the stock is now turning around.
I like the late-2021 and 2022 IPO bucket since a lot of these names have not had a chance to shine in a healthy market. Many are trading for a fraction of their IPO price and beginning to shine. TOST is one of them.
After nearly doubling off its lows in the middle of last year, TOST began forming a large consolidation base.
Notice how the stock respects its 200-day moving average. What was initially resistance has become support after reclaiming the 200-day, and TOST is now breaking out to new 52-week highs.
Last week's pullback to the 21-day moving average (blue line) was immediately bought. We are seeing tennis ball action as TOST jumps right back to its highs which is a good sign of support buying.
We are seeing the first base breakout in the stock's history which, historically, has led to substantial upside moves in new companies with game-changing products like Toast.
NOTE: The company reports earnings on Thursday, 2/16 so I will be keeping exposure light until we see the numbers and how the stock reacts.
