Stocks that are reporting earnings in 3 to 4 weeks can be monitored for pre-earnings runs.
ESPR had momentum runs recently, as marked by the candlestick patterns within the green rectangles in this chart. A shift of sentiment can be seen in the bottoming pattern with Accumulation/Distribution indicators (the area between the blue rectangles).
Often, when an earnings report is going to be great, then the company tries to leak it out subtly. IF earnings were to be negative or below expectations, then CEOs would be warning.
No need to go looking for analyst recommendations, everything you need is in the charts.
Focusing on the charts, rather than on the commentary around the market, will help you find the stocks that will be lucrative for trading this earnings season.
