4 Stocks Gaining Momentum

( click to enlarge )

Hyperdynamics Corporation (AMEX:HDY) is in the process of re-testing its $7.78 level, after which there's no near-term resistance left in sight. MACD just popped above the signal line and stochastics look solid, momentum is building !!

LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI), continuing the momentum from its 2.91% surge on Thursday, today broke above a key resistance area, closing at 6.75, which is the highest close in more than 10 months. This breakout brings high probability for a trend continuation. Next week we could see extension of this new momentum towards $7 area.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (NASDAQ:RRGB), after nearly seven months of consolidation in $17-$22 trading range, broke out today from a rectangle pattern, jumping $2.64 or 12.50% on solid volume. The stock closed at $23.76, the highest close since June 2010.I expect continuation of current momentum in the next few trading days toward the 24-26 area. Fresh exposures may be considered on price weakness, with a stop-loss at $22.60. A close above $24.41 may be used to enhance exposures.

My next trade idea has been trading around its 50-day moving average in the last trading sessions and the stock appears to have successfully reversed its recent downtrend. Take a look at the chart above because, technically speaking, MMI has some noticeable indicators suggesting that the stock is ready to make a move. Accumulation on this stock remains elevated, even after the downtrend, which indicates there are traders out there who refused to sell their shares on the way down and may have even been adding to their positions. RSI looks like it's on the edge of crossing back over 50% level and stochastics are edging out of oversold range as well. However the stock is still in bear market as MACD and signal line are both below "0". It is better to wait and see if the stock can break above the 50-day moving average located at $30.10. Motorola XOOM will be launched on Feb 24, which will be the world's first tablet to be powered by Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). The Tablet has 10.1-inch Touchscreen. So put Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. Common Stock (NYSE:MMI) on your radar screen next week ! In my opinion, share prices are attractive at these levels and the technical setup and fundamental growth prospects look very promising!
