A small-cap just doubled on its earnings beat. The next day it ran another 25%. Now it’s taking a breather right in my favorite chart pattern, and 70% of the float is sold short underneath it.

If buyers step back in here, the move will be fast.

That’s the kind of setup I’m hunting all week. The playbook is simple: a stock crushes earnings, runs to new highs, then takes a breather.

While it rests, pressure builds on the chart. When that pressure releases, the stock keeps going.

I ran this exact play last week and closed 24 winners out of 25 trades.

NVIDIA reports on Wednesday after the close. They’re probably going to crush it, but the market reaction on Thursday is anyone’s guess.

So while everyone is glued to that print, I’m focused on names that already gave me the catalyst. Four of them loaded up this week.

• The Social Media Play Everyone Missed: Clean earnings beat. The chart broke out after weeks of going sideways, and the next move just started.
• The Networking Giant We Already Bought: Crushed earnings. Broke to all-time highs yesterday, and we’re riding it as far as it goes.
• The Consumer Brand You’ve Definitely Heard Of: Just posted an earnings beat. The chart is tightening underneath a clean overhead target, and I’m buying it tomorrow.
• The Small-Cap Doubler (My Favorite Setup Right Now): Doubled on the print, then ran another 25% the next day. Now sitting on 70% short interest, and if buyers come back, this one runs hard.

I walk through all four setups in this week’s video: tickers, levels, strikes, expirations, and targets.
