Amkor Technology broke decisively above its 200-day moving average of $22.98, surging as high as $26.31 before settling at $25.09. Volume exploded to 9.27M vs. a 1.7M average – a 5x spike signaling strong institutional interest. RSI at 76.35 shows momentum is hot, bordering on overbought, but the uptrend remains intact.

ConocoPhillips also crossed its 200 DMA at $97.89 and closed at $97.99. While the price move was modest, the uptrend is supported by solid moving average alignment and a healthy RSI of 62.7. Volume was below average, suggesting the move may need confirmation.

Enerflex Ltd. crossed above its 200 DMA at $11.36 and now trades at $8.39 signaling a mismatch in reporting. With RSI at 66.21 and price action mostly sideways, it’s best to wait for cleaner momentum.

Cheniere Energy Partners edged above its 200 DMA at $57.48 with a slight increase to $235.00. The RSI sits at a neutral 51.89, suggesting consolidation rather than breakout behavior.

Ross Stores flirted with a breakout above its 200 DMA at $141.00 but pulled back to $139.56. While the RSI is at 64.33, indicating strength, volume underperformance suggests traders are not yet committed.

Baidu Inc. slipped below its 200 DMA of $88.55 to close at $86.80, on higher-than-average volume. With RSI at 46.01 and the trend sideways, it’s vulnerable to further weakness if it can’t reclaim $89.

Lyft fell below its 200 DMA of $14.12, closing at $14.04 with a downtrend confirmed by an RSI of 34.57. With both price and trend showing weakness, there's little technical support in sight.

PayPal continues to struggle, dropping below its 200 DMA of $76.69 and closing at $71.45. The RSI at 41.34 confirms neutral-to-bearish momentum, with no buyers stepping in despite a 4x volume spike.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners triggered an oversold signal, with RSI at 54.89 and price stagnating at $41.52. Despite being labeled oversold, the RSI suggests otherwise.

Novo Nordisk hit deeply oversold territory with an RSI of 26.23. It now trades at $53.94 after previously touching $85.59. This sharp drop presents a potential rebound setup if volume steps in.

United Parcel Service is flashing an oversold alert with RSI at 30.67 and price at $90.84. While the stock is in a sideways trend, the dividend appeal may attract value investors.

AMD just hit a 1-year high at $177.44, up from a 20-day MA of $148.44. With an RSI of 82.29 and volume double the average, momentum is red hot. This is a classic momentum continuation setup.

AppFolio is showing strong technical momentum ahead of earnings, trading at $260.58. Its RSI is 69.29, near overbought but not there yet, and volume is starting to climb.

Lithia Motors is trending sideways, despite hitting $289.77. RSI at 42.46 suggests no clear trend. Volume is high, but price action lacks direction.

Philip Morris is in a downtrend, trading at $162.75 with declining moving averages and an RSI of 34.69. No signs of a technical turnaround yet.

Turning Point Brands holds above $79.68 with RSI at 68.12. Despite sector strength, the volume remains below average, limiting conviction.

Waste Management is consolidating near $235.56 with RSI at 61.59. The stock is in a stable sideways trend with sector support.

Final Takeaway
Among the analyzed stocks, $AMD stands out with the strongest near-term breakout potential, while $NVO and $UPS may appeal to contrarian traders looking for oversold bounce plays. Most others remain in neutral or consolidation phases, offering limited short-term setups.
