7 Stocks With Bullish Chart Setups Heading Into Q3
Heading into the third quarter, I’m not interested in chasing overpriced mega-cap tech or weak momentum names.
I’m focused on a specific group of stocks showing real chart strength and upside potential — the kind of patterns I’ve been exploiting in my $50k Challenge with a 98% win rate so far. Here are seven setups I’m watching closely for continuation moves or breakout opportunities over the coming weeks.
Delta (DAL)
Delta has quietly built out a bullish pattern after a pullback that wasn’t as deep as I expected. That kind of price action — a shallower second leg down — can often mean the stock’s ready to rip higher. If this breakout confirms, my upside target stretches as high as $110. That’s a big move on a name that doesn’t always grab attention, but the chart doesn’t lie.
Celsius (CELH)
Celsius rallied right into resistance and stalled, but this thing could just keep going. I was bullish into the move and got called out of my shares, but I’ve been waiting on a pullback that hasn’t really come. It might just blast off without me. If it does, we could see $160 before this move is done. If we finally get the retrace, I’ll look to reload.
Rocket Lab (RKLB)
Rocket Lab has been ripping, but I’m not selling puts up here. It needs a pullback before I’ll consider that. I am, however, selling upside calls into strength. The chart suggests this thing could make a run to $40 or even $44. I’m already up on the position and looking to lock in more premium as it pushes.
Tesla (TSLA)
Tesla’s the only one of the Mag 7 I’m long right now, and it’s because the stock has wild upside potential — especially with the recent autonomous delivery headlines. Premiums are fat, and the chart has cleared resistance. If we set up a larger move, we could see this run continue. I'm rolling calls up and out each week to keep compounding gains.
Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS)
Even though I expected a slightly lower low here, Dick’s has a valid swing setup now. It’s not perfect, but it’s 75% likely to play out based on how I backtested it. There’s a clean resistance line to watch — and if it breaks, we could see a solid upside leg in a name that’s often overlooked.
Shopify (SHOP)
Shopify is coiling for a possible breakout. If this clears resistance, the upside potential is significant. I’m watching this closely. The chart’s clean, and if we get the move, it should carry some real strength behind it. No chasing — I want confirmation — but it’s definitely on the list.
MTN (MTN)
This one looks like it may have finally bottomed in a long-term correction. If that’s the case, we could be looking at a bigger swing higher. I like how it’s basing, and I’ll be watching for that first real breakout candle to validate the setup. The upside here could develop quickly once it clears.
These aren’t speculative guesses — they’re setups pulled straight from the charts I scan every day. Whether it’s measured bounces, failed breakdowns or shallow pullbacks, I’m hunting for patterns that offer the best odds. If the market keeps grinding higher into Q3, I’ll be targeting these names for continuation plays while staying nimble in case we finally get that bigger pullback.
