Technical breakout strategies focus on identifying stocks with solid momentum that are forming patterns before their next rise. By using ChartMill's unique Technical Rating and Setup Quality scores, investors can find securities showing both strong trends and favorable price formations. This method addresses two key questions: which stocks are most likely to keep performing well, and when might be the best time to enter a position.

Live Nation Entertainment Inc

Live Nation Entertainment Inc (NYSE:LYV) currently displays a strong technical setup, earning a 10 on ChartMill's Technical Rating scale. This high score highlights several positive traits that match the breakout strategy's focus on trend strength and momentum:

  • Positive trend across timeframes: Both short-term and long-term trends are upward, with the stock above all major moving averages (20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day). The rising averages confirm steady buying interest at different levels.
  • Relative strength advantage: LYV has performed better than 89% of all stocks over the past year, with gains spread evenly. This steady performance points to sustained support rather than short-term speculation.
  • Sector leadership: In the Entertainment sector, LYV ranks in the top 25%, outperforming 78% of its 72 peers. Strength relative to the sector is important, as it shows the stock is driving its industry higher.
  • Near 52-week high: The stock is close to its yearly peak, though this aligns with broader market trends, reducing concerns about being overextended.

The full technical report includes other strengths, such as steady trading volume (average 2.68 million shares daily) and multiple support levels below the current price.

Beyond the strong technicals, LYV has a Setup Rating of 9, signaling an appealing consolidation pattern often seen before breakouts. Key factors contributing to this high setup score include:

  • Clear trading range: Over the past month, LYV has formed a defined zone between $142.24 and $155.07, with the price now testing the upper limit.
  • Support/resistance levels: The stock has four support areas below current levels (from $147.95 down to $109.40) and one resistance zone between $153.77-$154.67. This creates a favorable risk/reward setup for breakout traders.
  • Recent accumulation signal: A Pocket Pivot pattern appeared recently, where price rose on volume higher than the largest down volume of the prior 10 days. Such signals often suggest institutional buying during consolidations.
  • Reduced volatility: The Average True Range of 2.14% shows quieter price action within the consolidation, typical before directional moves.

The combination of LYV's technical strength and setup quality indicates the stock may be ready for another upward move. For traders using breakout strategies, the report suggests monitoring the $154.68 level (just above current resistance) as a potential entry point, with stops below $147.94 support. This would represent about a 4.4% risk based on current levels.
