Top Solar Stocks to Watch this week
( click to enlarge )
Good afternoon everyone! Solar stocks have calm down a bit today after a huge sell-off since the beginning of the month. Now, with the stocks testing previous lows, this may be a good time to make some technical analysis. First, let's start with the chart of Trina Solar Limited (NYSE:TSL). On the daily chart, we can see a few technical signals suggesting that a swing higher may be in the cards in the short term. First, the stock bounced off recent major support on strong volume with the stock breaking above the short-term downtrend line. At the same time, the Stochastic Oscillator is registering a strong bullish signal as the %K has crossed above the %D. Coincidentally, RSI turned up again from the middle of a downward move. The only problem is MACD, because it remains below its falling signal line. The stock has a huge resistance at $26.98, which is its 50 day EMA. If the stock can break through resistance on above-average volume, we could see the stock test $28 and potentially test $28.55-$29.66. Pull it up on your trading screen and take a look for yourself.

The overall outlook remains negative for Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:CSIQ), as long as it stays below $11.02. Technical indicators are bearish as MACD momentum and histograms trend lower at new lows in negative territory and RSI holds near recent lows in bearish territory. A break above $11.02 resistance will negate this bearish interpretation.

LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE:LDK) has been trading between $10 and $15 in the past 4 months, closing in today's trading session at $11.58, up 94 cents or 8.83%, with a volume of 13 million shares. Technically, the daily chart of LDK Solar is now much improved after today’s action. The RSI has reversed again the course and stock finally closed above its 5-day moving average again, which is usually a short-term Bullish signal. I would look for a move up to $12.46 resistance soon. If it passes that, then we have room to run to next resistance at $13.52. Despiting the current downturn, solar sector is seen as a growth industry for the long haul, due to the increasing demand.
