Earnings breakouts offer opportunities in bearish environment

Market is churning at this level. In such environment some news drives opportunities exist. Earnings season is on so obviously earnings breakouts is what I am focused on.

Example of earnings trade:
OPEN had a nice earnings surprise and had months of neglect so it was obvious candidate for earnings breakout. It also had very high short interest .
