5 Hot stocks to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) continued its upward surge from Thursday.

A quick look at the daily chart of JPM shows us that:

- The stock price has been making higher lows since last December.
- The volume of transactions has been increasing substantially over the last 2 months.
- Trendline is rising
- The 50 daily moving average is turning up for the first time since March-April 2010
- The price has crossed the 10 day moving average to the upside again with an increase in volume.

- My expectation is for JPM to rise back up to 47.18-48$ and then break out above 48.02$.

- This scenario would be cancelled if the price falls below 43$.

There is a resistance level that needs to be crossed to give rise to the next leg up. The buy trigger is at $45.94. If we can cross this level next week, the stock should continue its move up. Stay tuned !!

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) broke out today on higher volume ( 3x normal daily volume ) above a major resistance point. Buy trigger is clear. It appears to be moving up toward its old highs in the 31-32 range.

Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPOP) closed back the 10 day moving average located at $3.21, ending the day at $3.22. The next major resistance level is located at $3.30. I would be a buyer on any weakness.

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) is looking bullish and may breakout of this falling wedge/pennant. The stock should find support here at the lower band and 20 sma.

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) continues to hold the 50 and 200 day moving averages which is very bullish. I expect the stock to test the $22 level soon. A close over this level would be bullish and I'd expect the stock to run to $25. Support is located at $20.34 as well as $20. If the stock closes below $20 at any time, all bets are off. Over the past month, RMBS saw its short interest decrease by five percent to 5,638,200 from 5,926,100. The new bullish trend on my technical chart looks good. My model is long targeting $25. Key resistance is now located at $22, a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 25 zone. Rambus is the frequent subject of patent infringement and anti-trust claim issues. Hynix Semiconductor, Nvidia, Micron Tech have had patent infringement suits with Rambus, so please be aware that the share price depends in part of the news that comes to the market, causing generally large fluctuations in the share, so be careful if you’re not familiar with the stock.
