- 5-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA)
- 20-Day SMA
- 5-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

If more potential support starts growing at these levels, it could become building blocks for ICNB to return towards previous highs.

Time's ticking to get a specific past champ on your radar.
When I brought it to your attention previously back in 2021, all it did was make a strong double-digit intraday surge in the blink of an eye.
On top of that, according to this profile's chart it has demonstrated the ability to make a full, triple-digit, 100% short term run in just a matter of a few weeks.
Now, with it trading towards its 52-week low, its potential upside to its recent 52-week high must be known.
And with the global beverages market having reached a value of $1.58Tn in 2020 along with the ready-to-drink cocktails market hitting a value of $714.8Mn the same year, this company might be perfectly placed at the perfect time to become a major disruptor. (1)
So with 5 potential catalysts including a low float, significant revenue related growth, and other key company developments in the recent term, it's time to drop what you're doing and get this past champ on your watch-list.
For Wednesday, March 30th, you'll want to get your eyes fixed on one profile:

AMITYVILLE, NY, Jan. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNB) (“Iconic” or the “Company”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary TopPop LLC (“TopPop”), ... announced it has generated significant year-over-year revenue growth of Bellissima Prosecco and Sparkling Wines by Christie Brinkley in the New York metro area. The company has reported a 73% increase in volume and a 250% increase in its distribution channels, a result of the expertise and the relationships of its sales and management team. Bellissima’s products have been a staple for health and wellness consumers, and are a leader in the “BFY” (better-for-you) and “better-for-planet” and sustainability categories that continue to grow and attract new consumers.
Bellissima’s current line of vegan Prosecco and Sparkling Wines are made with organic grapes, are certified vegan, and are available online and in wine and spirits retail stores across the country.

BFY and healthy lifestyle alcohol choice is a growing trend, as you can see from many large brands offering healthier alternatives with less carbs, less sugar, less calories. For example, look at the success of Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. with their recent IPO to the NYSE American. They have positioned themselves in the better-for-you segment, which we see as a benefit as more consumers continue to gravitate toward this area looking for options. This is a segment that Iconic has been succeeding in for many years now, since we launched in late 2015. Bellissima’s brand partner and spokeswoman Christie Brinkley continues to do an excellent job promoting the brand, and we are excited to see the traction from our retail and online sales. Our management team’s experience in the adult beverage market is well over 100 years with industry stalwarts like Anheuser-Busch (AB) and Southern Glazer Wine & Spirits in New York to name a few, and a dedicated sales team has helped us to propel the brand. ‘Health,’ ‘sustainability,’ ‘clean’ and ‘organic’ are not just buzzwords but core values of our Bellissima brand and our brand ambassador. We continue to look at opportunities to grow the brand and are pleased to note that we are on schedule to launch a new line of zero sugar still wines in Q1 of 2022 and believe that they will be a big contributor for revenue going forward.”
In Italian, Bellissima means “the most beautiful.” For Bellissima, “beautiful wine” means being clean, honest and sustainable, with an emphasis on giving back to the planet. Bellissima challenges and pushes the boundaries of what a wine can be: Bellissima is a clean, boutique quality wine, while also being sustainable. No compromises.

No. 2 ICNB Potential Breakout Catalyst - A Low Float Profile
According to the OTC Markets' website, ICNB has a low float.
The website reports this profile to have approximately 10Mn 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.

No. 5 ICNB Potential Breakout Catalyst - Company Aims To Become Leader In Sustainable Packaging And Better-For-You (BFY) Products
Iconic Brands CEO Sees ‘Cocktails To-Go’ and Other Industry Trends as Mainstay Post Pandemic
- Cocktails to-go and alcohol to-go that were popular during the pandemic will be mainstay in many states moving forward
- In 2021, industry leaders including Jim Beam distiller announced they were putting in $1B into sustainability, diversity, and responsible drinking
- Company is strongly positioned post pandemic with unique and sustainable packaging and better-for-you (BFY) beverage options
AMITYVILLE, NY, Feb. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNB) (“Iconic” or the “Company”), is a leader in the development and sale of alcohol brands that are “better-for-you” and “better-for-the-planet”, together with its wholly owned subsidiary TopPop LLC (“TopPop”). The CEO of Iconic provided his long-term outlook on the future of the alcohol and non-alcohol beverage industry today as the cocktails to-go phenomenon that has taken place during the pandemic continues to be a major force in driving consumer demand. The Company believes that the growing trend for healthier alcohol options has prompted beverage companies of all sizes to prioritize their sustainability approach to environmental concerns, which Iconic has met head on with its sustainable packaging and better-for-you (BFY) products.
“Cocktails to-go laws provide better options for consumers and we have seen that throughout the pandemic and believe that will continue as the global environment recovers. The increased need and demand for BFY alcohol and sustainability incentives have been on the forefront of our initiatives and we are uniquely positioned to capture these trends,” said Iconic Chief Executive Officer, Larry Romer. “Whether our customers are interested in the Bellissima line of Prosecco and Sparkling Wines that are made with organic grapes, certified vegan, or the products that TopPop creates and produces that are BFY and 'better-for-the-planet' we have them covered. We believe that we will come out stronger from the pandemic and we are happy to see that the industry is starting to align with core values that we have had since inception.”
[...]
Cocktails to-go have been the lifeblood of many bars and restaurants that have been hard hit by lockdowns and the pandemic. It is also a new sales channel for alcohol producers. Many states had to allow adding temporary or permanent laws concerning cocktails to-go to help businesses and their economy. In late 2021, California passed the Senate Bill 389 that extends to-go liquor sales in restaurants, bars until 2026. Illinois has signed a law for bars and restaurants to continue to sell to-go cocktails until 2024. Cocktails to-go filled a need for business and consumers alike.
Many new trends have developed over the last few years, particularly consumers choosing brands that care about sustainability and healthier alcohol choices.
Alcohol brands: Adapting your strategy post-lockdown, posted on The Social Element, shows seven key trends emerging and sustainably and healthier alcohol consumption making the list.
“As a result, we’re seeing more alcohol brands publishing sustainability pledges, such as the Johnnie Walker Next Steps Initiative to become net-zero carbon, and its partnership with the RSPB in Scotland. Jim Beam has in-vest-ed $1Bn in sustainability, diversity and responsible drinking. Consumers want to know what alcohol brands are doing to be more socially aware, and social media campaigns are starting to reflect this.” – The Social Element
“The pandemic made us realize the importance of health; low and no-alcohol purchases have increased and alcohol brands are diverging into healthier alternatives…Hard seltzers, a huge growth area (especially in the US), market themselves as being a low calorie alternative to more traditional tipples. How to drink responsibly and make healthier choices remains a key focus for alcohol brands in their social media.” – The Social Element
Tom Martin, President & COO of TopPop, added, “We have seen significant increases in business opportunities associated with restaurants and bars especially for RTD and RTF products as well as pouches. Pouches with mixed cocktails and alcohol ice pops are ideal to order and take-out. We see the cocktail to-go market as the beginning of an industry trend that will continue to bloom in the future.”
