Re: OUTSTANDING BREAKOUT Alerts!!
If I may offer a definition:
Breakout
Price of a security emerging from a previous trading pattern. The new price "breaks out" above the high (or below the low) trading pattern lines that enclose all other prices for that security in the preceding period.
Breakouts are normally confirmed when breaking previous resistance and on volume.
The 'breakout' occurred at about $0.50 imo
Since then it has been trending up, with a couple of small retractments.
What is also interesting in the chart is the very large cup that has formed and the sp is now at the peak, which is also past resistance. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a break here and consolidates for a little while, hopefully forming something like a handle, and then continue the trend up.
As always, this is just a probability. It could just keep going up, or it could fall over.
AZZ has had a fantastic run, but again, I wouldn't necessarily call this recent move an 'outstanding breakout'.stickman said:nice gains for azz on a down day and a strong finish on good volume
