- Surge score: 96/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 94%
- Sales growth: +54%
- Return on Equity: N/A
- Triple momentum: yes
Price came strong off the lows, rallying 94% during what has been a vicious bear market this year.
This is a real sign of strength, and the stock could take off if the market rallies from here.
Shares formed a “cup with handle” pattern over the last several weeks, and I am looking for a strong move above $19.50 on decent volume.
Consider placing a stop at $18.25 for a low-risk trade.

The United States Oil Fund, LP (USO) is a $2.9 billion exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the price of crude oil. It trades like a regular stock.
- Surge score: 98/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 95%
- Sales growth: N/A
- Return on Equity: N/A
- Triple momentum: yes
Oil had a big surge at the beginning of the year, but price got ahead of itself.
It has since consolidated in an orderly fashion with pullbacks shallowing from 23% down to 6%.
It is now breaking above the $83 resistance area and attempting to make a run.
Volume declined greatly in the weeks leading up to the breakout, which is generally a sign of decreasing supply and a lack of sellers… both good things for bulls.
I want to see a strong move higher on a spike in daily trading volume.
Set a stop loss about 7% below the entry for protection.
Northrop Grumman Corporation
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) is a $72.6 billion aerospace and defense company.
It’s been a top-performing stock this year. Shares are up 22% year-to-date, while most stocks are down significantly.
- Surge score: 95/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 37%
- Sales growth: -4%
- Return on Equity: 32%
- Triple momentum: yes (short)
After a big move higher in late February, NOC has consolidated and formed a tight base pattern.
Volume is drying up, price action is tight, moving averages are pointing higher and relative strength scores 95/100.
All factors point to a potential breakout in this stock.
I will consider buying if NOC trades above $476. As always, I want to see a breakout on above-average volume.
Once triggered, my stop loss would be at $441 for a 7% risk on the trade.
