Momentum is the key to zero in on. It sounds basic but never try to swim against the tide. Go with it instead. Take VFC here for example. It's just shown up on my hitting new highs alerts. I've never seen this stock in my life and have no idea what they do. At this moment it is hitting new highs. There is a high probability then that it will go higher. I need no facts, rumours, conjecture about why. Green candles are saying it is going higher so taking a long position is merely going with the flow.
