Trade Ideas for Wednesday - BIDU, AAPL, RMBS, RFMD, GOOG

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

GOOG has been consolidating a pretty tight range under the 200-day moving averages. Volume is starting to build and it may make an attempt at breaking out. Let's keep an eye on her.

RFMD is back at the breakout area and may find support here. Volume declined on the pullback which is positive. I'm Bullish on stock.

RMBS - Shares of Rambus Inc. rose Tuesday after a federal appeals court ordered that a case brought by Samsung Electronics against Rambus be dismissed. The stock went as high as $24.15 before closing the day at $23.24, up more than 4 percent. From the technical chart above we can see that the stock is on a bull market as the stock is trading above both 50 day and 200 day moving average and 50 day moving average is on top of 200 day moving average heading upwards. This stock is BULLISH in short-term, and BULLISH in mid-long term. I'm really convinced that this stock can easily double from here, the latest news have been extremely good for Rambus. For that reason, I'm still holding my shares in hope of a strong move.

AAPL - The stock continues its upward trend from Wednesday. Since the beginning of this month, AAPL share prices have increased from $144 to today’s high of $175.66 for 19% gains. Looking at the daily chart, the stock has been trading above both 50 day and 200 day moving average, a very bullish sign. Positive MACD also indicates that the stock is a buy. Please beware of the KD line which is now at 80 and could signal a sell when it begins to fall. Stay tuned on her.

BIDU - The stock broke resistance and closed at its highest level since February at $373.81. The daily chart show a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas, the stock is in a strong bull market with both 50 day and 200 day moving average going up, however in overbought conditions. From here, the stock might run to $400 according to the way the market is acting now.

Trade Ideas for Tuesday - PMCS, LDK, RMBS, SOHU

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

SOHU - The stock has broken out to all time highs during today session, after the Chinese Internet portal operator reported a strong first quarter and forecast second-quarter revenue above analyst projections. At the present level she's incredibly extended. I'm very bullish on this stock, but in situations like this, I prefer to wait for a pull back rather than chase the market. Technically the stock is still in a very strong bull market with MACD on top of signal line and 50 day moving average on top of 200 day moving average.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RMBS - $22 has been a good support for Rambus over the past days as highlighted in white. If support breaks expect a move to its 50-day moving average at $20.57.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

LDK - From the chart above, we can see that the stock has found a nice support around the $30 level. The stock is probably back to uptrend and with KD rising we could see possible rally coming for the stock. Let's keep an eye on her as i think momentum will pick up.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

PMCS - The stock is in overbought territory from a technical standpoint, however it does not mean the stock won't still go up, but a pull back is needed. KD is showing some weakness as K line is below D line. A good entry point should be around $7.50.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Next week - C, INTC, MOS, NVDA, POT, RFMD

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

The area of previous resistance of MOS around $120 has become support. If the support holds, then it signals an intermediate to short term trend change. In this case it quickly rise away from support, but if support is broken, then expects a move to $113. From the chart above, the stock shows positive sign as 50 day moving average is on top of 200 day moving average with stock trading above both moving averages. MACD also show bullish signal as MACD is above signal line. However KD are somehow weak as K line is below D line. So, if you're long on this stock, hold with a stop-loss at $122.61, on the other hand the buy point would be when the price breaks $138.53 on heavy volume.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

POT has been a very solid performer over this year. The technical chart shows mix signal with MACD above the sell line showing strength on the buyer side while KD show weakness with K line below D line. Any move over $215.97 will probably lead to new highs.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RFMD - As most support and resistance levels tend to get weaker with every test, the stock finally broke through $3.03 a few days ago, on the second highest volume day of the year. The technical chart shows this is a great time to buy as the stock is now on a uptrend with MACD back above 0 and KD line rising. Keep in mind that this stock has been consolidating for a very long time and should have enough fuel for a Big rally. The short-term target for the stock is $3.50.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NVDA - Currently building base for the next up move. The stock closed again over its 50-day moving average. NVDA looks like it is about to breakout if it can clear the horizontal line at $21.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

INTC looks Bullish to me. This stock is making a gradual move upwards since January lows. The short-term outlook for this stock is also positive as it is consolidating above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The short-term targets for the stock are $23.02 and then $23.67. Short-term investors can buy with a stop at $21.85 and long-term investors can hold with a stop at $21.16.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

C - Looking at the daily chart above, it shows very strong upward momentum as the stock is above the 50 day moving average with both 20 day and 50 day moving average going up. In addition KD and MACD also show very bullish sign. From the chart, looks like the next major resistance is at $27.

Stay away from this band of speculators

This post is only to alert all of the new traders out there to be careful with the crude Oil Bullish momentum. It's clear that market is living a bubble sentiment around the crude Oil contracts with some experts pushing it to new consecutives highs. Besides that, there are some analysts who are part of this game, trying to grab the opportunity of the flash reports on the financial TV to put more pressure on the small trader size, to buy contracts predicting a crude Oil price of $150, $160, $180 and so on. This is completely ridiculous; no one should make this kind of prediction when the demand for fuel is clearly slowing. The world's largest economy is undergoing a significant contraction, some might even say a recession, and on that basis the demand/supply fundamentals simply have to favour lower priced oil, so this no make any sense. Yesterday, I was completely furious when I saw Francisco Blanch ( Merrill Lynch ) telling that prices of Oil can hit $150 this year. Yeah it's possible!!! But with the continuation of the lack of demand the only thing that pushes Oil prices higher is the speculation and the overall bubble environment around this commodity, I don't see anything more. Do you see????? So, stay away from this band of speculators, because sooner than later this bubble will bust. I know that the slump in the green black is direct linked to this factor, but honestly speaking crude Oil at $120 no make any sense, just speculation behind this fact. When bubble burst I will see many people with their hands burned, I hope don't be one of them.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - GS, NOVL,RNWK, NTRI, NVDA

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NVDA - Nvidia gave us a small move on Wednesday, which could be the start of a bigger move. If the stock can break through Wednesday’s high of $20.66, we should see a strong follow through move. This move would break the trading range, and should drive the stock back towards highs. Although the stock didn't perform well since the start of the year, we should see a rebound very soon as the technical chart now shows positive momentum is back as MACD is above 0 and K line is on top of D line. In addition 20 day moving average and 50 day moving average seems both are stabilizing which is a very positive sign.Keep watching NVDA for a bigger move soon.

Mowrey and Buckingham have a 12- to 24-month price goal of $47 for Nvidia. Click here to know more.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - $19.18, down 9%. Range was $20.23 to $18.92. This stock cooled down today, after the earnings report. I had not expected this action, as I thought it would continue higher today. At least today’s drop was on low volume for a usual earnings day. The chart is now a little mixed, but I'm still convicend is too early to start selling. The K is just below the D line, so technically we had the bearish crossover today,but it could be just a small violation.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RNWK is technically in uptrend. But looking at the chart above is hard to intepret the next possible move. Furthermore, it is moving really slow. Entry point would be on the day it blows through $6.30 on heavy volume.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NOVL - The stock continues to have great support at $6.28 on its 20-day moving average. Today, the stock closed above its 50 day EMA ($6.39) again. I would look for a move up to $6.58 resistance tomorrow. If it passes that, there is very strong resistance at $6.86 coming up next.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

GS - Stock broke through resistance at $181.75 accompanied with high volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here. This stock should run to at least $196.50 ( 200-day moving average ).

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Thursday - SIGM, ILMN, CREE, RFMD

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RFMD - Shares of RF Micro Device surged 13% to $3.05 per share. This stock has been on a remarkable downtrend since the begin of the year. Today stock broke out an important resistance of $3.03 with heavy volume. The rising KD has carried the stock back above 50 day moving average. The stock is now back to uptrend and with MACD back above 0 and KD rising we should see stock now starting to go up. The chart above gives me great confidence !!!

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

CREE - On the long term chart of the CREE, you can see that it has broken the uptrend support line stated in early November of 2008. The next support is $24, but the important thing to take from this chart above is that the major uptrend that began in November is over.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

ILMN - Stock broke through resistance of $79.90, but did not have much momentum behind the move. A close beyond a trendline is more significant than an intraday penetration, so keep an eye on ILMN to see if tomorrow stock will confirm intraday breakout.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

SIGM - Good base building at $17.50 level. The stock is still in a weak market with MACD still below 0. If SIGM can hold the support around $17.50 we may see another short rally to $20 with K line still on top of D line. The rally might start soon, depending on the markets mood.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Wednesday - ELN, LXK, NTRI, RMBS

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

Rambus was in focus today after has scored another legal victory in its long-running battle to collect millions of dollars in royalties on its patented designs for computer memory chips. A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Trade Commission didn't offer enough evidence in accusing the company of engaging in monopolistic behavior. This is GREAT !!! Looking at the daily chart above it shows this is the time to place your bet here as many technical indicators show buy signal. Although MACD is a little big weak, any rally should easily bring it back to bull market. Another one KD show buy signal as K line is again on top of D line. The stock has been back on uptrend since early March and now with stock back above 50 day and 200 day moving average and K line rose back above D line we will probably see more positive thing happening to the stock.

Latest News on RAMBUS : IBM licenses Rambus cell , Click here to know more.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

ELN is moving in a nice upward channel pattern, near the top of the channel, which could be a good time to close some long positions. Nevertheless, The technical chart looks really positive as 20 day moving average has just crossed on top of 50 and 200-day moving average. In addition with MACD on top of 0 showing bull market and KD at high level the stock should kept going for now. Keep an eye on her.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - They have broken up here and present a nice buying opportunity anywhere near 20, but they report earnings tomorrow. I hate holding stocks over earnings, but this looks like a nice chart. According to the chart above buyers remain in control.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

LXK - Lexmark shares fell today as investors digested the weak 2nd-quarter outlook. Looking at the daily chart, the stock broke its uptrend line and K has crossed below D line, both bearish signals. Nevertheless, the stock could find some support here near of its major moving averages, but the trend is now in favor of Shorts. Let's keep an eye on it.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - NTRI, FSLR, HLF, AAPL

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

AAPL - Chart is printing a strong Bullish movement after stock has broken the key resistance area of $155. The technical chart shows the stock has just entered into a bull market as the stock is on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average. In additon, MACD also shows buy as MACD is on top of signal line. This chart is clearly telling us that the place to be in AAPL is on the long side, however you should be prepared for the possibility of a pullback to test the breakout line. I expect a continuation of the upward movement.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

HLF - It looks like a possible head and shoulders formation but for the pattern to be complete, the HLF would have to make a close below $46. If the stock closes above its upper resistance trendline ( white mark on chart ) then the possible formation will be negated, and we should see a rally to its 52-week high. Stay tuned on her.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

FSLR - I would like to point out another stock to you which may have potential for a good return. The chart above is First Solar which has been consolidating for a while after a good uptrend. It is now at the top of the range and any break above $300 would signal more buying.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - The stock is in a breakout mode, which was instigated with the move above $19.90. To invalidate the breakout we need to see it trade below $19.90. So far we are holding very well above this area. This stock should fill the gap somewhere around the $23 range, within a week or so.

HOT Breakout stocks to Watch this week - AMZN, NTRI, PMCS, EXPD, MA, BIDU

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

BIDU - On the technical side, the chart looks very good here. The stock broke through $320 resistance on Friday, and is trading above all of two major moving averages. Plus, the MACD is positive and rising. Nevertheless the risk of correction has increased as RSI is approaching overbought level, but any correction will probably mean buying opportunity at current technical trend. After this breakout the target zone is now $418.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

MA - Stock broke through resistance, but was not able to gather must momentum. Traders should continue to remain cautions and pre-define stop loss and targets. Hold with a stop-loss at $226.29.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

EXPD - The stock broke out of a horizontal rectangle pattern on Friday with increased volume, which is very bullish. The technical chart shows the stock has just entered into a bull market as the stock is on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average. Plus, MACD also shows buy as MACD back on top of signal line. I believe this stock can run higher from here.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

PMCS - The stock looks bullish as it has broken out of a small ascending triangle pattern.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - The breakout was accompanied by good volume. For the coming week, price would probably trade between $19.90-$23. The technical chart shows the stock has been in a bull market since begin of April as the stock has been on top of 20 day and 50 day moving average. In addition MACD also indicates bull market as the MACD signal line has been on top of 0 since mid March.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

AMZN - Stock broke through resistance at $79 accompanied with high volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here. Technical indicators such as KD and MACD also show buy signal as K line is on top D line and MACD fast line has just crossed on top over slow line.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - SIGM, NTRI, RFMD, GOOG, LVS

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

LVS has been in a corrective phase since the beginning of this year along with the rest of the US equities. LVS was a nice play on the short side after have broken the support line this week, however it looks like there is more downside here. Short term momentum indicators, like MACD, RSI, Stochastics are substantially oversold but have yet to show technical signs of a recovery.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

Google on Thursday posted a better-than-expected profit. Company said first-quarter net income rose to $1.31 billion, or $4.12 per diluted share, from $1 billion, or $3.18 per share, in the year-earlier quarter. Excluding one-time items and stock option expenses, profit was $4.84 a share, ahead of the average Wall Street forecast of $4.53 per share. Shares past the $500 mark in extended trade. So be prepared for a gap up tomorrow morning. The 200-day moving average should act as the first resistance level. It will be a fantastic day for longs......

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RFMD was one of the stocks that was definitely affected by the NOKIA earnings. However the drop and volume don’t mean something bad as I initially thought, this could be a good indication that sellers are now convinced that bad news are already well discounted. RFMD has formed a symmetrical triangle with resistance at $2.95. The stock is now in a short term bullish momentum, after it has past the 5 day MA and MACD is now above the signal line. Average volume is around 4M, a good break out volume should be above 9 Millions.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - On a shorter-term basis, the stock NTRI is displaying a bull-flag pattern. Confirmation of this pattern will take place when stock moves above the upper line. Watch NTRI closely on Friday.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

SIGM - Sigma Designs has a mixed technical profile at the present moment. Intermediate trend is down. The stock recently broke below its 50 and 200 day moving averages. Short term momentum indicators are substantially oversold and are now showing technical signs of recovery. The break of the resistance line at $20 with heavy volume should be the next buy point on SIGM.
