Bullish Divergence: This setup uses a technical indicator such as the relative strength index (RSI) or the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) to identify when the security is likely to increase in value. When the indicator is moving in the opposite direction of the security's price, it is considered a bullish divergence.

Breakout: This setup identifies when a security's price breaks above a key resistance level, indicating that it is likely to continue to increase in value. Traders may use trend lines or other analysis tools to identify key resistance levels.
