By Mill Chart

Last update: Aug 5, 2025

Planet Fitness Inc - Class A (NYSE:PLNT) has become a strong choice in a recent scan for technical breakout setups. The screening process uses two unique ChartMill indicators, the Technical Rating and the Setup Quality Rating, to find stocks with solid trends and good consolidation patterns. Stocks with high scores on both metrics often show good opportunities, as they indicate momentum and a clear risk-reward structure. PLNT’s nearly perfect scores (Technical Rating: 10, Setup Rating: 9) suggest it fits these conditions well.

PLNT Stock Chart

Technical Strength: A Market Leader in Fitness

PLNT’s Technical Rating of 10 puts it in the top group of stocks for relative strength and trend health. Key points from the technical report include:

  • Long-Term Uptrend Holding: While the short-term trend is neutral, the stock keeps a positive long-term direction, trading above all major moving averages (20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day). The rising SMAs show continued buying interest.
  • Strong Performance: PLNT has done better than 86% of all stocks over the past year, with steady gains, suggesting reliability rather than sudden jumps. It also ranks in the top 28% of its Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry group.
  • Support Levels: Five clear support levels exist below the current price, with the closest ranging from $107.06 to $107.61, a mix of moving averages and trendlines. This layered support lowers downside risk.

These factors match the screening approach: high Technical Ratings focus on stocks with lasting momentum, reducing the chance of false breakouts.

Setup Quality: Consolidation Before the Next Move

The Setup Rating of 9 highlights PLNT’s consolidation phase, which often comes before potential breakouts. Key details:

  • Narrow Trading Range: Over the past month, PLNT has moved between $104.39 and $114.47, with recent prices near the middle. This balance often leads to directional moves.
  • Institutional Activity: Large investors have bought shares recently, as shown by the Effective Volume indicator. A recent Pocket Pivot signal, a volume-backed rise, adds more confidence.
  • Clear Risk Control: The nearby support at $107.61 allows for a tight stop-loss (~5.7% below the suggested entry at $113.56), keeping portfolio risk in check.

The setup’s strength comes from its balance: PLNT isn’t overbought, yet it’s ready to test resistance near $111.15–$113.55. A breakout above this zone could signal further gains.

Actionable Insight

For traders using a breakout strategy, PLNT offers a high-confidence setup backed by technical strength and institutional interest. The stock’s stability during broader market swings (the S&P 500’s short-term uptrend contrasts with its neutral long-term trend) further highlights its relative strength.
