Wednesday's high volume breakout, could be the start of a nice squeeze higher for Lihua International Inc (NASDAQ:LIWA). Over 7% of float is short (15 days to cover). The stock had a large spread and volume, successfully breaking several resistances lines at 5.21 and 5.37. Also worth noting is the stock price which is now above all major exponential moving averages. Looking at the technical indicator MACD, the MACD is now above the zero line and the AC/DT is turning UP, both signs also indicate strength in the stock. Look for a quick run to $5.9 then on to $6.45

Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) The decline over the last weeks occurred on lower volume and the stock is firming around 1.80. Technically, the stock still in downtrend in short-term but at this level is showing some resistance to move down. Sustained move above the 1.88 level could signal development of a new uptrend. GEVO looks like it is gonna squeeze some shorts to me. The current days to cover is 19.8 and the Short Percent of Float is 26.05%. Let's keep an eye on it.

Looking at the technical daily chart of Superconductor Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCON), the stock price is quickly approaching a BIG breakout if the stock can manage to trade above $1.82. A strong volume move above that level, could set the stock up to retest its August highs of $2.23. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and RSI rising. The stock has a gap to be filled between 2.25 and 2.50.
