MOSAIC CO/THE (NYSE:MOS) Poised for Breakout with Strong Technical and Setup Ratings

By Mill Chart

Last update: Jul 26, 2025

Technical breakout strategies focus on spotting stocks with solid momentum that are trading in a narrow range, providing a good balance of risk and reward for possible upward movements. These strategies depend on two main measures: the Technical Rating, which checks a stock’s overall trend strength, and the Setup Rating, which looks at how well it’s consolidating. Stocks with high scores in both areas often present good chances for traders aiming to benefit from breakouts.

MOSAIC CO/THE (NYSE:MOS) is currently a notable choice based on this approach. The stock has a Technical Rating of 9, showing strong trend health, and a Setup Rating of 9, indicating a clear consolidation phase. These scores suggest MOS is not only in a steady uptrend but also ready for a possible breakout.

Technical Strength: A Leader in Its Sector

The Technical Rating of 9 highlights MOS’s strong momentum across different timeframes. Key factors behind this score include:

  • Positive Trends: Both short-term and long-term trends are upward, supporting the stock’s rise.
  • Relative Strength: MOS performs better than 88% of stocks in the Chemicals industry, showing its sector leadership.
  • Price Near 52-Week High: Trading close to its yearly high points to steady demand, though the broader market (S&P 500) is also near highs, meaning MOS’s performance matches the overall market trend.
  • Healthy Volume: An average daily volume of over 5.1 million shares ensures liquidity, lowering slippage risks for traders.

The stock’s moving averages further confirm its strength, the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day SMAs are all rising, with the price above each. This layered support structure makes sudden drops less likely. For more details on the technicals, see the full Technical Analysis report.

Setup Quality: A Tight Range with Clear Levels

The Setup Rating of 9 shows MOS is in a high-probability consolidation phase, marked by:

  • Lower Volatility: Recent price action has stayed between $34.71 and $38.23, with the stock now near the middle. This tight range often comes before a bigger move.
  • Clear Support and Resistance:
    • Resistance at $36.90,$37.82: A move above this zone could signal more upside.
    • Support at $35.94,$36.51: A stop-loss below this area offers a sensible risk level.
  • Pocket Pivot Signal: A recent price jump with higher volume hints at buying interest, adding confidence to the setup.

The mix of strong technicals and a narrow trading range makes MOS an appealing choice for breakout traders. The suggested entry at $37.83 (just above resistance) with a stop at $35.93 (below support) limits risk to ~5%, while the stock’s momentum improves the chances of a follow-through.
