While many market participants focus on trying to predict index movements, we take a different approach.

At SetYourStop, we track setups. We look for tight consolidations, rising momentum, and stocks coiling under resistance—conditions that often precede outsized moves. Our goal is to identify the stocks that are positioned to outperform, regardless of what the broader indexes are doing.

That’s exactly what we highlighted over the weekend and again on Monday. Today, Wednesday, many of those crypto-related setups followed through with strength.

Weekend Report Analysis: Bitcoin and the Mining Sector

In Saturday’s report, we focused on the compression forming in Bitcoin. It was holding above its upward-sloping moving averages and tightening into the apex of a multi-month continuation pattern. The PPO momentum indicator was curling higher from the zero line—a positive development.

“Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating in a tight trading range above its upward-sloping moving averages, positioning itself near the apex of a multi-month consolidation/continuation pattern. The PPO momentum indicator is curling higher from the zero line, signaling improving strength. Multiple Bitcoin mining stocks are appearing in scan results, with several highlighted in the daily setups. If this pattern breaks out, it could signal a continuation of Bitcoin’s broader uptrend and potentially lift the mining sector alongside it.”

In that same report, several mining names appeared in the Daily Setups section. Many followed through with strong breakouts—but importantly, other names in that same report also showed powerful price action worth revisiting.

Several other names highlighted in this report have also posted significant breakouts. Review the setups section for more.

Monday Report: Broader Strength Across the Sector

In Monday’s Daily Report, we noted a spike in scanner activity across the crypto ecosystem—from miners to infrastructure to Ethereum-linked assets. Our lead analysis covered BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) following its $250 million Ethereum treasury announcement and the appointment of Tom Lee as Chairman.

“The crypto sector lit up across our scanner on Monday, with a surge in activity among mining companies, blockchain infrastructure names, and digital asset treasuries… From miners to momentum names, crypto equities are gaining traction, and today’s scanner activity reflects growing institutional appetite and technical setups that suggest the move may just be getting started.”

Several of the setups followed through immediately—but again, many other names in that same report are worth revisiting.

Other names flagged in this report are also starting to move. The setups section remains relevant as the sector gains strength.

Summary

The names above were flagged before the move—not in reaction to headlines. They were tracked based on repeatable criteria: structure, volume, compression, and momentum alignment.

While much of the market remains focused on macro headlines and trying to predict the next move in the S&P, we continue to focus on identifying outliers—the names setting up to outperform.
