Weekly Commentary
Breakouts Surge to 25 as NASDAQ Gains 3.7%

The NASDAQ Composite gained 3.7% this week, comfortably outperforming the DJI (1% and S&P 500 (1.9%). As the chart shows, the index formed a pivot on June 10 and the subsequent handle bottomed on June 15. Since then, the index has made a strong recovery to a level just below the June 10 pivot implying an imminent further breakout to the upside.
NASDAQ Chart
The recovery from the handle base produced 25 breakouts this week: 12 from a Cup and Handle pattern generating an average 6% return and 13 from a Volatility Squeeze pattern with an average return of 5.8%.

The top performing Cup and Handle breakout was YY which demonstrated the classic behavior in the handle that we describe in our Anatomy of a Cup and Handle Pattern. Note how volume increased to above average levels just before breakout. This is a key indicator that a breakout could be imminent.
Chart of the Week
Of the stocks on our Cup and Handle watchlist for Friday, June 19, Go Daddy (GDDY) is one that offers the possibility of an imminent breakout judging from Friday's well above average volume.
