American States W. $AWR, defensive stock going up after a VCPAfter NYSE:AWR made a good breakout with a break away gap from a Volatility Contraction Pattern, is making a good and strong follow through. Also, the MACD is positive and going up.
The quotient against the SP:SPX shows good realtive strength against the market; IBD Investors gives a 72 relative strength rating, and is #3 in its industry group. NYSE:AWK is leading the price action of the Utility-Water Supply Industry
Now the price is resting between $91 and $88. I will be looking for a breakout above that area to enter a position. With a risk/reward ratio of 3:1 it looks like a good trade. If the price follows through after that breakut I'll add to the position once the price breaks above $96 which is an area of strong resistance.

Clear VCP in $VALE, I'm waiting for the breakoutSo the technicals are great, excellent uptrend with the price above its MAs and now formming a third base in which I'm waiting for the breakout to enter a position. The pattern is accompanied by low volume, that's good too. Also, is leading its sector. Very strong realtive strength against the Steel ETF AMEX:SLX , which has a 17% allocation of the stock.
Today Zacks gave it a Rank #1 for STRONG BUY and, is Rank #1 in its industry in the IBD Investors Group Leaderboard with a 92 Rating on the IBD Relative Strength. These are all good bullish signs. I'll be setting a stop buy order in $23.35 with a sell target in $27.10.
Another thing I like is that NYSE:VALE has a strong revenue growth since 2017.
The return of tech leadership? $CRWD is doing the VCP NASDAQ:CRWD looking good. Formming a volatility contraction pattern (VCP), price above 20d, 50d and 200d MA , better than expected earnings for the last 3 quarters and the sector is having a good relative strength against the market. So, now I'll be waiting for the breakout above $227 to entry.
Another thing worth mentioning is that its price earnings ratio (PER) is negative, this means that its earnings are far greater in relation of its stock price and need catching up, which is starting, that is a good sign.
VCP- Mark MinerviniWhat I'm seeing: it broke out as expected. Looking for some sustained higher volume. Looking for the RS to turn up. It has been running flat for while.
I am new to trading VCP patterns. Just trying to document as I learn. Would appreciate feedback from those that are experienced trading Mark Minervini VCP.
