Setup profileMOMENTUM BREAKOUTWhat these mean →
Invalidation — what would prove this wrong
A break and daily close below the established support level of $107.36 would signal a failure of institutional follow-through and invalidate the breakout thesis.
Runner-ups — considered, not selected
EC

Strong technicals and PT raise, but catalyst is less material than an earnings beat

ACA

Highest technical score and at 52-week high, but lacks a fundamental catalyst

IHS

Massive 4.1x volume, but catalyst is just an AGM announcement (low materiality)

ASH

Good technicals and fresh 13F catalyst, but lower overall conviction than top picks
