With the exception of the Upper Bollinger Band Walk scan, these scans identify stocks which have not yet broken out but may be poised to do so in the near future. They are in some kind of basing or consolidation pattern and have not yet risen past their buy points. Stocks found via the Upper Bollinger Band Walk scan will most likely already have broken out. However, it's possible that when a band walk just begins that a stock may not have yet broken a price resistance level.
