For Immediate ReleaseChicago, IL – January 13, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Asure Software, Inc. ASUR, Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. GRNT and Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. PRTH.Buy These Top Stocks Poised for a BreakoutLooking for stocks fluctuating within a specific band, known as breakout stocks, is an active investing strategy. When selecting breakout stocks, it is recommended to sell if prices drop below the lower band and hold for potential gains if they exceed the upper band.To that end, Asure Software, Inc., Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. and Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. have been selected as the breakout stocks for today.Zeroing in on Breakout StocksTo select the right breakout stock, one has first to calculate its support and resistance level. A support level is the lower bound for stock movements, while a resistance level refers to the maximum price it trades within a considerable period.In other words, the demand for a stock is at its lowest at its support level, which means that most traders are willing to sell it. Most traders are willing to go long on the stock at the resistance level, meaning they would like to add them to their portfolio. The key to identifying breakout stocks is to zero in on those on the verge of a breakout or those that have just broken above the resistance level.Has a Genuine Breakout Occurred?The primary risk associated with such a strategy is that the decision to buy an apparent breakout candidate has been incorrectly timed. When a stock moves above the resistance level, it should be a highly prized commodity for traders. However, whether such a breakout is genuine is another matter altogether.For a bona fide breakout, the stock’s earlier resistance barrier should become its new support level. This only happens if the established trading channel is tested by observing long-term price trends. The strength of the support and resistance levels can be ascertained only through such a study.Despite the risk of misidentification, correctly identifying such stocks can yield considerable returns, even at a price that may not seem attractive at first glance.These criteria narrow the universe of more than 6,853 stocks to only nine.
