The S&P 500 is approaching the 200-day moving average. I am sure that is something that has been pointed out in countless posts across the globe. You could make the argument that the 200-day is a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. If everyone looks at it as though it has some sort of importance, inevitably, it will become important. Regardless of your stance on technical analysis, it is hard to argue against its efficacy here. The 200-day serves as critical support for stocks, and in some cases, resistance that is just too much to get over.

Should the important resistance level fall and stocks breakout, I have a few ideas for which stocks could be leading the way higher. I’ve put together a list of five Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks which are already breaking out to new highs. These stocks could be the leaders into the next all-time high for the broad market.

Earnings have propelled this stock to the next level. This is a winning streak that really started back in mid-March but accelerated following the April 30th EPS beat. Earnings estimates have followed along with the stock price, telling me this trend could be just the beginning of the upside action.

This stock popped up on somebody’s radar in a big way this week. On May 18th, the stock traded 2 million shares, well above average volume that was closer to 100,000. Intraday, that took the stock up over $4 before coming back down to Earth to close under $3. Already, it looks like buyers are continuing to pile in.

ChannelAdvisor has run into some resistance here in the $12 handle. The previous 52-week high of $11.88 was broken on strong volume and the stock never looked back. Now it’s butting its head at the highs. I am going to wait for a pullback to that previous high before I pounce.

The best word to describe this one is nuclear. This stock has rocketed higher as a huge beneficiary of the new “Stay-at-home” economy. It has more than doubled off the April lows. Its last earnings report was a big help too. It looks a little too hot to handle here. I’d wait for a retracement into the low $50s before getting back in.
 

Bottom Line

There is so much money to be made in this market. If the broad index, the S&P 500, can breakout from its 200-day moving average, it should raise all the ships in the harbor. That could lead to some serious action in these breakout stocks.
