Daily Breakouts Tool

A Stock Just Broke Above Yesterday's High. Now What?

A daily breakout occurs when a stock trades above the previous day's high. It reflects a clear shift where buyers have taken control of that specific price level, as sellers who previously defended it have stepped back, at least for that session.

While many traders assume that breakouts mean the stock will keep going up, the reality is more complicated. Some breakouts lead to strong follow-through, while others quickly reverse.

This tool looks at past breakouts that were similar to the one happening today and shows you how the stock typically moved afterward. This gives you a better idea of whether the current breakout is more likely to continue or run out of steam.

Review the Price Cone

See how price has historically behaved after similar setups. This gives you a realistic view of what typically happens next instead of relying on guesswork.
