Stocks near resistance scanner
Look for the setup before the breakout.
The EdgeBreak Pre-Breakout Scanner is built for investors who want to research developing structures before price has clearly broken through resistance.
Higher lows
Look for developing support structure where successive lows are holding higher as price approaches resistance.
Tightening structure
Surface stocks where consolidation and price behaviour are compressing near resistance before confirmation.
Earlier breakout research
Research the structure while it is still forming.
The Pre-Breakout Scanner narrows the NASDAQ to developing setups that are still below or near resistance, giving you a focused list to investigate before a confirmed breakout appears.

Earlier does not mean certain
A pre-breakout setup may remain below resistance, fail or never produce a confirmed breakout.
Pre-breakout vs breakout
Before resistance breaks. After resistance breaks.
Pre-Breakout is designed for developing structures still sitting below or around resistance. Breakout Scanner takes over once price has moved through established resistance and the breakout is confirmed.
Two stages of the same research process
Use Pre-Breakout for earlier discovery, then Breakout Scanner for confirmed moves through resistance.
How the pre-breakout scanner fits into EdgeBreak
From early structure to deeper research.
01
Scan the NASDAQ
Start with a rules-based scan across NASDAQ-listed stocks rather than manually checking thousands of charts.
02
Find stocks near resistance
Surface developing structures where price is testing or approaching a meaningful resistance area.
03
Review higher lows and consolidation
Examine whether support is improving, lows are holding higher and price structure is tightening.
04
Continue the research
Move into charts, AI Stock Research or the wider scanner workspace when a setup deserves closer investigation.
05
Wait for confirmation
A pre-breakout structure is not a confirmed breakout. Continue monitoring resistance and independently verify the setup.

Early structure, not a prediction
A setup can develop.
Or disappear.
EdgeBreak helps identify NASDAQ stocks matching defined pre-breakout conditions. It does not predict whether resistance will break or whether a future move will continue.
✓
Rules-based screening
Results are surfaced because they match defined technical conditions, not because EdgeBreak predicts future performance.
✓
No breakout is guaranteed
A stock near resistance may fail, move sideways or remain in consolidation.
✓
No buy, sell or hold recommendations

Pre-breakout scanner FAQ
Straight answers.
What is a pre-breakout stock scanner?
A pre-breakout stock scanner looks for stocks developing technical structure near resistance before a confirmed breakout occurs. EdgeBreak focuses on NASDAQ stocks with resistance, higher lows and tightening price action that may deserve further research.
What does the EdgeBreak Pre-Breakout Scanner look for?
EdgeBreak looks for developing structures near resistance, including repeated resistance interaction, higher lows, consolidation and tightening price behaviour.
Is Pre-Breakout different from the Breakout Scanner?
Yes. Pre-Breakout focuses on stocks still developing below or near resistance. Breakout Scanner focuses on stocks that have already moved through established resistance.
Can I use the Pre-Breakout Scanner in the United States, Canada or Australia?
Yes. EdgeBreak is web-based and focused on NASDAQ-listed stocks. Investors researching the U.S. market from the United States, Canada, Australia and other supported regions can use the same pre-breakout scanner.
Does the scanner find stocks near resistance?
That is one of its core purposes. The scanner is designed to surface NASDAQ stocks with developing technical structure around established resistance so they can be investigated before confirmation.
Does a pre-breakout scanner predict which stocks will break out?
No. It identifies stocks matching defined technical conditions before a breakout. The setup may fail, remain in consolidation or never break resistance.
