Breakouts: Spot High-Momentum Stocks, Instantly5 min read
There’s a moment in every trade where everything just clicks, volume surges, resistance levels break, and the price starts to run. These moments are called breakouts, and catching them early can make all the difference between a missed opportunity and a smart entry.
But in fast-moving markets, spotting them on time isn’t easy. That’s why we built breakouts, a real-time signal tool on Paytm Money that helps you track and act on powerful stock moves the moment they happen.
What are Breakouts?
Breakouts is a smart, real-time stock scanning tool that helps you catch strong price movements the moment they happen. It’s designed to help you identify high-potential trend set-ups early.

It’s built to help you stay one step ahead—across intraday trades, swing setups, or even long-term positions with strong backing of multiple technical indicators.
How It Works?
Breakouts isn’t just another stock screener. It uses smart logic and combines multiple technical indicators to ensure only meaningful, high-quality breakouts show up on your screen. As is well known, there are several stocks that exhibit breakouts over varying time periods; however, in this case, the system only produces signals on stocks that are accompanied by technical indicators that are supportive of the market, making the signals stronger.
Think of it as your on-screen assistant that continuously monitors the market and alerts you to key movements like breakouts above resistance, trend confirmations, or sudden shifts in momentum.

- Real-time price data
- Key technical indicators (SMA, EMA, MACD)
- Support and resistance levels
- Volume patterns over 7 days
This isn’t just a screener, it’s a signal engine that filters out noise and shows you meaningful, high-quality setups.
Types of Breakouts You Can Catch
Breakouts aren’t one-size-fits-all. This feature tracks a variety of breakout signals so you can match your strategy to the market’s moves:
- Resistance Breakouts: These happen when there is significant volume and the stock price crosses a significant resistance level, such as R1 or R2. It frequently indicates positive momentum, particularly if the breakout is clear and long-lasting. Traders frequently check these levels to verify the strength of the trend.
- Trend Confirmations: When the long-term and short-term moving averages (SMA/EMA) cross in the same direction, it is known as a trend confirmation. For example, when the 20-day EMA crosses above the 50-day SMA, it may suggest that an upward trend is gaining strength. Breakouts alert you when these alignments happen.
- MACD Momentum Shifts: MACD is a popular momentum indicator. A new trend may be emerging if the MACD line crosses over the signal line close to the zero level. Breakouts detect this shift and send you a timely alert so you can consider entering at the early stages of momentum.
- Reversal Patterns: Stocks may be about to reverse from the current trend if they break above recent highs or below recent lows. For active traders and investors searching for turning points and swing traders, these setups are essential.
- Volume Surge Breakouts: Breakouts that happen along with a sharp rise in volume are typically more reliable; it signifies the strength of the signal. Breakout scans for volume spikes over the past 7 days to validate the move, helping confirm the breakout’s strength.
