Zak Mir takes a charting look at the USA Stocks Of The Year To Date – Monday 24th August 2025

Zak Mir looks at some of the best charts and risers on the US market since the start of the year. They include ABVC, Crescent BioPharma, Critical Metals, I-Mab, ImmunoPrecise, mF International, Newegg, Palvella, SuperX, The Oncology Institute, ThredUp, USA Rare Earth, and WeBull.

In this roundup, I run through some of the best charts and risers on the US market so far this year. Below, I cover the setups I’m watching, key support/resistance levels, moving averages and realistic price targets and timeframes. The common themes: strength around the 50-day moving average, rising trend channels, and clear RSI behaviour guiding entries and risk.

How I’m reading these charts

I focus on price action relative to rising trend channels, 50- and 200-day moving averages, recent swing support/resistance and momentum (RSI). When a stock holds above its channel floor or 50-day line and clears prior resistance, I look for the next parallel/channel top as a target — with clear cut-off levels that would invalidate the bullish case.

“”We’re hoping for a revamp of the rising trend channel …””

Top picks and technical notes

ABVC

• Setup: Consolidation at the floor of a rising channel, trading near the 50-day moving average ($2.92).
• Key levels: Near-term resistance around $3.40 (July highs). Failure below $3.00 would delay the upside case.
• Target: A revamped rising trend could push shares toward roughly $6.65 by year-end if the breakout holds.

Crescent BioPharma

• Setup: Broke climb resistance ($14.50) and showing a retest/hold pattern.
• Key levels: Important 50-day line around $13.29; best levels of the year near $21 (June).
• Target: Best-case to about $30 by year-end if momentum holds and the 50-day remains intact.

Cognition Therapeutics

• Setup: Already cleared the second target ($2.30) and strong momentum continues.
• Key levels: Second target cleared; looking for the upper parallel around $3.50 with upside to $3.60 possible.
• Timeframe: Potential move by the end of next month if strength persists.

Critical Metals

• Setup: Clear breakout through $2.00 with RSI held above neutral (50) since early June — a sign of sustained momentum.
• Key levels: Recent swing support around $1.60 — must hold to keep the bullish edge.
• Target: Channel top near $2.75 by the end of next month.

I-Mab

• Setup: A steep rising trend channel since summer.
• Key levels: Recent resistance from early August near $4.10 — staying above that keeps the path higher.
• Target: Heading towards roughly $8.00 by the end of October. Both 50- and 200-day averages are rising, adding momentum.

ImmunoPrecise

• Setup: Strong recent run; has hit a second ambitious target ($3.00).
• Key levels: Keeping above $3.00 (with an allowed intra-day dip down to $2.80) preserves the bullish case.
• Target: Third target around $4.60, potentially by the end of September if strength continues.

mF International

• Setup: Steep rising channel that’s paused in the short term but remains constructive.
• Key levels: Important former resistance now support at $31 — must stay on the right side of that level.
• Target: Depending on channel slope, a move to $60–64 by the end of October is feasible.

Newegg

• Setup: Broke through the second target ($112) and set a third target near $160, but currently in a steep pullback.
• Key levels: Critical support/old resistance around $86 must hold to keep the higher target alive.
• Target: If support holds, $160 by the end of October remains a plausible objective, though the chart looks a bit tired.

Palvella

• Setup: A steep, attractive rising trend channel.
• Key levels: Recent swing support at $46 (low on 20 August) — an end-of-day close below that would negate the short-term bullish outlook.
• Target: Channel top and target around $80 by the end of October while above the $46 support.

SuperX AI

• Setup: Strong AI-themed runner with multiple targets already achieved (first $20, then $28, $36).
• Key levels: Staying above the prior $36 target is key.
• Target: Next objective around $50 by the end of next month. Note there’s an unfilled gap to the upside into new territory.

The Oncology Institute

• Setup: A slower but steady rising trend channel since spring.
• Key levels: Above the old April/June resistance ($3.40) and the 50-day line ($3.20) keeps the bullish case intact.
• Target: A move toward roughly $5.30 by the end of September if the channel floor and 50-day hold.

ThredUp

• Setup: Rising trend since March with a clear channel.
• Key levels: Floor of the channel and recent support around $10 are the critical levels to watch.
• Target: Top of the channel near $14 by the end of next month, provided the $10 floor holds.

USA Rare Earths

• Setup: One of the stronger sector stories given the commodity/security backdrop; multiple successful tests of the 50-day line.
• Key levels: Floor around $4.60; three occasions of support at the 50-day in recent history shows durability.
• Target: Channel top up to $10 by the end of October while the $4.60 floor holds.

WeBull

• Setup: Bullish with multiple support points above the 50-day — a classic sign of strength.
• Key levels: 50-day line near $5.21; RSI behaviour has shown multiple 50-rebounds since mid-May.
• Target: An implied target up to $9 by the end of October while the 50-day remains supportive.

Common themes and risk management

Across these chartbreakers the recurring technical themes are:

1. Holding the 50-day moving average or the floor of a rising channel as a prerequisite for the bullish case.
2. Using cleared prior resistance as a new support level (retest and hold patterns).
3. Watching momentum indicators — RSI staying above 50 or bouncing from 50 is a leading sign for continuation.
4. Placing clear invalidation levels (daily/weekly close back below support) to manage risk.

“”The other point to note is the way that we’ve effectively had RSI 50 rebounds … on multiple occasions since the middle of May.””

Conclusion

These names represent some of the standout technical performers year-to-date: biotech and AI names with strong charts, commodity-focused stocks benefiting from the macro backdrop, and a few consumer/tech plays showing resilient structure. For each stock above, the path higher is contingent on holding specific moving averages or channel floors. If those levels fail, re-evaluate the position and be prepared to tighten stops.

If you want to follow these setups, focus on the key support levels and the targets mentioned for each stock, keep an eye on RSI and the 50-day, and always size positions to your risk tolerance.
