And here’s how the stock is setting up with my Stock Surge Indicator (SSI):
- Surge score: 85/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 109%
- MFI reading: 62
- Sales growth: +47%
- Triple momentum: yes
From a technical perspective, HCCI stock nearly doubled in the first half of the year before forming a large consolidation base as you can see in the weekly chart above.
After bouncing off its 200-day moving average line in mid-September, trading has become tight and limited to a 4.5% range.
This has provided a low-risk area from which to enter a new long should HCCI trade above $30.30.
Those looking for a longer-term swing trade could give this one a bit more room by placing a stop beneath the September low at $26.75.
Revolve Group, Inc.

The company’s platform carries trendy luxury brand apparel, shoes and accessories and works with social media influencers to build and promote those brands.

And here’s how the stock is setting up with my Stock Surge Indicator (SSI):
- Surge score: 97/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 288%
- MFI reading: 48
- Sales growth: +60%
- Triple momentum: yes
With a 97/100 Surge Score, RVLV is clearly a top performer. Shares have more than tripled over the last year and have finally taken a breath.
Earnings were up by triple digits in each of the last four quarters, and institutions are piling in, with 179 funds owning the stock at the end of 2020. By last quarter, that number had grown to 403.
According to my wife, the online women’s fashion retailer is indeed popular. Accelerating sales growth seems to confirm her opinion.
I would like to see the stock price get even tighter with another shallower pullback. This would set up an even lower-risk entry point.
But I’ll be looking to buy a move above $71.10 whether it happens this week or some time in the near future.

And here’s how the stock is setting up with my Stock Surge Indicator (SSI):
- Surge score: 99/100
- % Above 52-wk low: 605%
- MFI reading: 67
- Sales growth: +18%
- Triple momentum: yes
Veritiv has been an absolute monster this year. Shares doubled in March and then continued to press higher all the way through last week.
A series of tightening bases followed by clean breakouts has delivered a 6X return to patient investors.
The recent pattern of higher highs and higher lows despite shaky market conditions demonstrates the strength of this stock.
RVLV is the top-performing stock in its sector with a 99/100 surge score.
Each of the prior base breakouts was accompanied by high volume, so I’d like to see a volume spike if and when shares hit my $100.05 buy point.
Embrace the Surge,
