Today's pick · Highly Shorted High Growth Deep RotationCELHBUY NOW8.4 / 109/14/2026

Celsius (CELH) offers the cleanest combination of a beaten-down chart, multi-timeframe forecast agreement, and a fresh positive catalyst. On the tape, the mid/long-horizon Kronos forecasts are positive across every single timeframe — 1h (+8.05/+12.11), 4h (+4.55/+26.27), 1d (+49.53/+49.99), and 1wk (+12.47/+49.33). The only negative reading is the short-term 1wk (-10.03), which is consistent with a stock that just capitulated and needs to base — not a stock that's rolling over. Bullish_prob is 1.0 and near_term_bullish is 1.0. Crucially, you are NOT chasing. Position in the 21-bar range is 9.99% (1d) and 5.75% (1wk), with drawdowns of -22.18% and -18.47% respectively. That's a classic wash-out setup right at the low end of the range while forecasts point sharply higher — the asymmetric setup this screen was designed to find. The screen thesis is also intact: sales growth Y/Y of 82.86%, EPS next year growth 20.58%, operating margin 19.2%, and shortFloat 15.54% (fuel for a squeeze). Forward P/E of 15.56 is very reasonable for that top-line growth, and the analyst recom of 1.59 with 59.6% target upside gives sell-side cover. The tiebreaker headline is a positive: the CEO bought 18,000 shares on Sept 10-11, an unambiguous insider vote of confidence at the exact lows. Compare to the alternatives: KRMN has monster forecast numbers (+165%/+185%) but is undercut by a J Capital short-seller report titled 'Anyone can pay $10 for a $5 bill' — that's a landmine that disqualifies it as the #1 pick regardless of the tape. MIR has cleaner near-term forecasts but its 1wk forecasts are all negative (-6.28/-6.05/-17.87). CRK is already at 94.96% of its 4h range — you'd be chasing. Why today, not later: CELH is at the bottom of its 21-bar range with a bullish forecast stack, insider buying just printed, and the short interest gives upside asymmetry. Waiting risks entering after the first squeeze leg.

Entry zone

$26.50–$27.75 (scale in around current $27.50; add on dip toward $26.50 where 1wk range low sits)

Stop loss

$23.75 (below the recent capitulation low — roughly 14% risk; invalidates the base thesis)

First target

$32.00–$33.00 (+16–20%, aligns with 1d fc_short of +27.32% into resistance)

Longer target

$40.00–$41.50 (+45–50%, matches 1d fc_mid/long ~+49% and 1wk fc_long +49.33%)

Risks

Debt/Equity of 2.03 is elevated — any margin compression from PepsiCo distribution renegotiation could hit valuation multiples fast
PerfYtd -40.49% and perfYear -53% mean this is a falling knife; a break of $23.75 opens air down to $20
Fwd PE 15.56 assumes the epsNextY +20.58% growth prints; a guide-down would re-rate the stock lower given trailing PE of 117.73
Short-term 1wk forecast is -10.03% — could see another leg down before the mid-term move materializes
ShortFloat of 15.54% helps on the squeeze but works against you if sentiment sours further (e.g., competitive share loss to Alani Nu/Ghost)

Honorable mentions

MIRCleanest multi-TF alignment on 4h/1d with near_term_bullish 1.0, CFO bought 20,000 shares, and Jefferies just initiated Buy — only ding is 1wk forecasts all negative (-6 to -18%), which caps it as #2.

FOURfwdPe 7.11 is stupid-cheap for 32% sales growth, RBC reiterated Outperform with $67 PT, and 1d/1wk forecasts are strong (+55%/+68% long), but 4h fc_mid/long are negative (-12%/-24%) suggesting near-term chop before the bigger move.

1	CELH	BUY NOW	8.4	Bottom of 21-bar range (pos 9.99%), all mid/long forecasts positive across every TF, CEO just bought — asymmetric setup.
2	MIR	BUY NOW	8.1	Near_term_bullish 1.0, 4h/1d forecasts +30–57%, CFO insider buy and Jefferies Buy initiation; 1wk fc negative is the only blemish.
3	FOUR	BUY NOW	7.6	fwdPe 7.11 with 32% sales growth, 1wk fc_long +67.63%, RBC $67 PT — near-term 4h weakness is the only caveat.
4	KVYO	BUY PULLBACK	7.2	Bullish_prob 1.0, 1d fc_long +47.28%, pos 12.64% on 1d, but 4h already ran +18.44% — wait for pullback toward $15.50.
5	BROS	BUY PULLBACK	7.0	Pos 3.73% on 1d after -40% drawdown, 1d fc +25/33/31%, but TD Cowen just cut PT to $59; oversold bounce candidate.
6	MNDY	BUY PULLBACK	6.7	Fund_score 6.75 highest in pool, 1wk fc_long +121.56%, but 1h at 89.9% of range and near-term forecasts negative — wait for dip to $85.
7	TMDX	BUY PULLBACK	6.5	Reaffirmed FY26 guide $737–757M, PE 21 with ROE 36%, but 4h pos 100% — chasing risk; buy dip to $76.

14	DUOL	WAIT	4.5	Pos 97.36% on 1h with bullish_prob 0.2 and director selling $1.5M — momentum extended, wait for cool-off.
15	KRMN	AVOID	3.5	Massive forecast numbers (+185%) undercut by J Capital short report — landmine; sit out until the report is addressed.
