CVS Health is trying to complete a consolidation with a 111.35 buy point. See if it can clear the breakout price in volume at least 40% higher than normal. Note that it's a third-stage base. Such patterns can work and do sometimes launch nice runs, but, statistically, they're more likely to fail than earlier-stage consolidations.

Earnings growth rose last quarter from -1% to 6%. But sales fell from 11% to 10%.

CVS Health holds the No. 1 rank among its peers in the Retail-Drug Stores industry group.
