$INSP Inspire Medical Systems absolutely exploded higher, surging 11.17% to $130.39 on volume that spiked to nearly four times its 30-day average. The stock decisively crossed above its 200-day moving average of $123.73, a technical milestone that often marks the transition from downtrend to sustainable uptrend. What makes this move particularly compelling is the timing: Stifel upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy on November 24th, with an analyst price forecast suggesting 26.84% upside from current levels. The RSI reading of 79.14 indicates the stock is running hot, but when you combine an analyst upgrade with a 200-DMA breakout on heavy volume, this isn't just technical noise.

$SEM Select Medical Holdings caught fire with an 11.13% surge to $15.58, blowing past its 200-day moving average of $14.84 on triple the normal volume. Here's where it gets interesting: the co-founder proposed to buy all outstanding shares and take the company private. That's not a technical breakout story, that's a fundamental catalyst that creates a floor under the stock. The 200-DMA cross is almost secondary to the buyout proposal, but it matters because it shows the stock had been building momentum even before the news dropped. The RSI of 69.79 suggests there's still some room to run before hitting overbought territory.

$EAT Brinker International, the parent company of Chili and Maggiano, jumped 6.71% to $149.71, crossing above its 200-day moving average of $148.74. Volume came in at 2.15 million shares versus the 1.83 million average, showing genuine buying interest. The RSI of 74.39 indicates the stock is getting extended, but casual dining has been one of the surprise winners in 2024 as consumers pull back from fast casual and shift spending patterns. The technical breakout here confirms what the fundamental data has been showing, Brinker is executing well in a tough environment.

$GOOG Alphabet hit yet another all-time high, climbing 1.62% to $323.64 on massive volume of 42.78 million shares. The stock is trading well above its 200-day moving average of $201.51, with an RSI of 77.33 that suggests it's getting stretched but not yet in extreme territory. The catalyst here is AI chip sales news and the broader narrative that Google is winning the AI infrastructure race. What's remarkable is that Alphabet is making new highs while the broader AI trade has been volatile. This tells you the market believes Google moat in search, combined with its AI capabilities and cloud growth, creates a uniquely defensible position. The technical picture is clean, higher highs, higher lows and volume confirming the move.

$ROST Ross Stores pushed to fresh highs at $176.50, up 1.36%, trading above all key moving averages with an RSI of 80.09. This off-price retailer is benefiting from the same consumer dynamics helping other value-focused names: shoppers hunting for deals in an uncertain economy. The stock is technically overbought, which typically would be a caution flag, but in strong uptrends, RSI can stay elevated for extended periods. The 20-day MA at $161.70 and 50-day at $155.75 provide clearly defined support levels if profit-taking emerges. Ross has historically been a steady performer, and this breakout to 52-week highs suggests the discount retail thesis remains intact.

$CENT Central Garden & Pet exploded 8.30% to $34.04, crossing its 200-day moving average of $31.44 on volume that tripled the normal pace. The RSI of 62.47 shows momentum without being overextended, which is exactly what you want to see in a breakout. This isn't a sexy tech stock or a hot AI play, but that's almost the point. When a pet and garden supply distributor breaks out technically, it signals that investors are finding value in boring, steady businesses with predictable cash flows. The company operates in categories with defensive characteristics, even as it's been beaten down, the fundamentals of pet ownership and home gardening remain resilient.

$CCS Century Communities, a homebuilder, rallied 6.85% to $64.14, breaking above its 200-day moving average of $61.63. The RSI of just 53.62 suggests this move has plenty of room to run before hitting resistance. Homebuilders have been in a technical no-man's land for months, caught between declining mortgage rates (bullish) and affordability concerns (bearish). This breakout suggests the bulls are winning that debate. Volume was light at 196K versus the 320K average, which is a yellow flag, you'd prefer to see heavier volume confirming the move.

$CYBR CyberArk presents a contrarian opportunity, trading at $447.45 with an RSI of just 30.65, firmly in oversold territory. The stock has lost 14.8% over four weeks, but that selling pressure may have exhausted itself. Wall Street analysts show strong agreement on the upside, which creates an interesting setup: technically oversold, fundamentally supported by analyst conviction. The stock is still above its 200-day moving average of $408.43, so this isn't a broken name, it's a correction within an uptrend.

$SPCE Virgin Galactic formed a hammer pattern at $3.51, up 4.46%, which technical analysts view as a potential bottoming signal after recent weakness. The RSI of 46.09 shows the stock isn't oversold or overbought, just finding equilibrium. The challenge with Virgin Galactic has always been execution and cash burn. A hammer pattern is a nice chart signal, but it needs to be confirmed with follow-through in coming sessions. Volume of 1.58 million versus a 3.91 million average suggests this isn't yet drawing major interest.
