($PRSC).<\/p>\n<p>Below is the daily chart of $PRSC (screenshot courtesy of Morpheus\u00a0Stock Screener):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/\/~rick\/\/charts\/2014\/140924PRSC.png\" alt=\"PRSC swing trade setup\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Since breaking out on August 7 (positive reaction to quarterly earnings), $PRSC has been forming a <strong>solid base of consolidation near its all-time highs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A flat base consolidation typically requires 4 to 6 weeks of formation before the stock breaks out to fresh highs, and the base-building in this stock is now 7 weeks in the making (learn more about consolidation\u00a0patterns <a title=\"View article on blog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/blog\/best-stock-breakouts\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the stock &#8220;undercut&#8221; support of both its 20-day exponential moving average (beige line) and 50-day moving average (teal line), but the price only stayed there a few days before snapping back above those key moving averages.<\/p>\n<p>On September 23, $PRSC rallied to close at its highest level since the August 7 breakout.<\/p>\n<p>Putting it all together, odds are good that <strong>$PRSC may now be ready to embark on another leg up<\/strong> to\u00a0another new high.<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s The Play<\/h2>\n<p>Since $PRSC now has minimal overhead resistance, the stock could be bought for momentum swing trade <strong>entry on a move above the September 23 high of $47.54 <\/strong>\u00a0(remember <a title=\"Read article on blog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/blog\/danger-jumping-the-gun-trading-psychology\/\">not to jump the gun<\/a> with ahead of the actual trigger price).<\/p>\n<p>With that entry price, a protective stop could be placed just below the $45 area (below both the Sept. 23 low and\u00a0convergence of the 20\/50-day moving averages).<\/p>\n<p>If $PRSC breaks out from here and clears\u00a0all overhead resistance, this momentum trade presents a favorable reward-risk ratio.<\/p>\n<p>However, as I have been discussing in my <strong><a title=\"Sign up now for The Wagner Daily\" href=\"https:\/\/www.morpheustrading.com\/services\/swing-trade-alerts\" target=\"_blank\">nightly swing trading newsletter<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(which includes access to the stock screener)\u00a0over the past few days, <strong>all bets are off on the long side of the market if the S&amp;P 500 \u00a0or NASDAQ convincingly fails to hold<\/strong> support of its 50-day moving average.<\/p>\n<p><em>What other &#8220;stealth&#8221; stocks are you targeting right now?
