Shares of Zalicus, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZLCS) surged 6.61% to $1.29 per share after MLV & Co initiates coverage on Zalicus with a Buy rating and a $4 target price to reflect the company's clinical development for 2012. From a technical standpoint, the stock still looks very strong with both 20 day and 50 day moving average going up while MACD is above 0 and %K line is on top of %D line. In addition the OBV suggests strong accumulation is going on. Today’s high was $1.32, which is resistance for the follow through move on Thursday. If the stock does break resistance, expect to see another strong upside move. There looks to be more room in this move, so watch the stock closely over the next few days.

Hercules Offshore, Inc. (NASDAQ:HERO) started the day weak, but rallied to go positive and closed near the highs of the day. This could be the start of a trend reversal for HERO, which is why I'll be watching the stock on Thursday. Resistance is $4.44, which was Wednesday’s high of the day. If the stock breaks through, there is a good chance you will see a strong upside move, so watch the stock very closely tomorrow. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow Index is showing a rising move, indicating a rising money flow into the stock. Keep HERO on your radar for Thursday’s trading session.
