XenoPort, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNPT) looks like is close to attempting another breakout. This strength is confirmed by price movement as well as two momentum indicators, MACD and RSI. he stock is also slowly under accumulation based on the OBV indicator. I think the market is waiting for fresh news to define the trend, however if the stock breaks above $7.75 ( red line ) , then that is a bullish sign as higher prices. Piper Jaffray believes XenoPort's Horizant for treating restless leg syndrome is gaining traction and that the company's pipeline is being underappreciated. Piper Jaffray see signficant upside potential in shares and reiterates an Overweight rating with a $14 price target.
