Long trade in CPRXCPRX is the #1 stock in the biotech group by almost every metric. The table on the chart shows its ranking out of all 795 biotech stocks by 3 metrics from IBD's MarketSmith. Sales and earnings are surging and the rate at which both are growing has increased in each of the last 4 quarters. The stock made a false breakout on December 14 when the market gapped up on CPI data. It then put in a shakeout move to hit stops before rallying right out of its base. I am taking a small position in the stock here with a tight stop at 17.65. I want to see new highs in the next several days to confirm the breakout has legs.

Long trade on HALHaliburton is setting up in a volatility contraction pattern trying to break out higher. There is supply at the $40 level, so I want to buy on a pullback off that level to create a profit cushion in case it fails there again. There is also a longer-term cup with handle pattern here with $40 being the top of the handle. Volume is drying up in the base which hopefully signals supply no longer coming to market and the stock becoming harder to buy. I am taking a small pilot position off the pullback to the 50-day moving average (red line) with a tight stop at 35.20. The fundamentals looks great with 4 consecutive quarters of big sales and earnings growth. Analysts also predict another 41% increase in EPS for 2023.

RBC Breakout Long TradeRBC is seeing incredible growth. I've overlaid the last 4 quarters of sales and earnings growth from MarketSmith on the chart. Any company that can double their sales every quarter for a year has explosive upside. The numbers of institutional funds who own the stock is steadily growing, and it is owned by some of the best-performing mutual funds including T.Rowe Price New Horizons and Lord Abbett Developing Growth. After a huge rise over the summer, RBC stock has consolidated in a series of shallowing retracements as the stock works through sellers in the $250-$260 area. Once these sellers are exhausted and the weak hands are out, RBC will be further consolidated into institutional hands and free to continue its advance higher. Traders could buy here with a 5% stop beneath the swing low or wait for a break of the trendline to initiate a buy. DISCLOSURE: I own shares of RBC and have an order to buy more on a move above 254.10.

Can Gold complete the breakout with a new leg high? Hi, and welcome to Tuesday's update. Today's focus is on Gold as price continues to trade with inside bars after last Friday's 3% jump. US employment data fueled the rally, and this data sent the USD packing. We're looking for Friday's breakout to complete, but we need to see buyers come back into the market with another firm move higher to show us that Friday's price action is set to continue. Last Friday's close has so far done what required breaking to levels of resistance after re-holding 1626 support. We don't want to see a new close back below 1650, as this could be a sign that buyer momentum was only short-term. We would like to see a new break above 1681.50 or a new higher low above 1665 to continue the idea buyers remain in control. We still feel the USD will play a key role in whether this move continues or not. Keep an eye on this week's US CPI data, which will be released Friday morning at 12:30 am AEDT. Have a great Tuesday and good trading.

DKS Breakout Long TradeDicks Sporting Goods (DKS) is breaking out from a textbook cup with handle pattern. After nearly doubling in price between May and August, the stock stalled and formed a small pivot at the $115 resistance level. Relative strength has been climbing for several months - a sign that Dicks has been leading the surge higher and outperforming the rest of the market. Even in the late August market selloff, DKS held its ground and posted higher RS readings. I’m looking for a continuation of the breakout that began on Friday.
