Good Evening,
Let's dive in.
In the previous 30+ days, I've delivered several intraday and short term breakout champs that have set their charts on fire.
Here's a recap:
- From an October 20th open of $2.14, KULR has now run to a high of $3.81 on November 15th for a short term surge of 78%.
- XCPL erupted from a $.038 open on October 27th to a high of $.365 the following day for a run of approximately 860% overall.

I know, right? Crazy.
That said, I've been tracking a new profile closely which could be breakout bound near term due to several potential catalysts.
For Tuesday, November 23rd, there is only one profile to have on your radar:

No. 2 ICNB Potential Breakout Catalyst - Another Low Float Profile
According to the OTC Markets' website, ICNB has a low float.
The website reports this profile to have approximately 10.00Mn shares in its float.
Why is that important? It's important on one crucial level. Volatility.
With so few shares available for trading, other potential catalysts (like big news) could spark a vertical move in the short-term.
