On Monday, Confluent got an upgrade for its IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating from 94 to 96.
The new rating shows the stock is outpacing 96% of all stocks when it comes to the most important stock-picking criteria. History shows the top market performers tend to have a 95 or higher score as they launch their major moves.
Confluent broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 29.72 entry from a cup without handle. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then declines 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. Wait for the stock to set up and breakout from a new chart pattern and entry price.
