Stocks to Watch for December 31, 2013

( click to enlarge )

The short-term outlook for Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD) looks promising from a technical point of view. On Monday, the stock broke out from its trading range on relatively high volume, and the breakout was accompanied by a bullish MACD crossover. Based on Yesterday's action, I expect to see the stock move up in the next coming days. Technically, I'm bullish on the stock. Next major resistance lies at 19.38. Long setup.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) As shown on the daily chart above, the stock price is still trading within an ascending channel, which is a bullish pattern formation and is targeting $4 next.

( click to enlarge )

I'm bullish on Nuance Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) from a short/medium-term perspective. Its current uptrend can prolong further to 16 and then to 16.5 in my opinion. The key short-term resistances are located at 15.49 (convergence of the 200-day exp moving average) and 15.76. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has been increasing its stake in the company.

( click to enlarge )

There is a clear cup-and-handle formation on this daily chart of Venaxis Inc (NASDAQ:APPY). The Cup & Handle is a bullish continuation formation that generally occurs in uptrends. I still believe that the overall outlook remains bullish and the possibility of a breakout is quite good considering its pattern formation. The stock faces initial resistance at 2.20 and then at 2.45.

( click to enlarge )

JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:JASO) The momentum is picking up. Any close above the resistance level of $9.54 (50EMA) could trigger a buy signal.

( click to enlarge )

The stock price of Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ:AMRN) has recovered smartly since the low of 1.36 made in November. There is a possibility of a breakout to 2 or 2.07 in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

The stock price of Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ:DNDN) is quite weak from a short-term viewpoint. It needs to hold above support of $3 to maintain its upward bias.

Stocks to Watch for December 30, 2013

( click to enlarge )

WidePoint Corporation (NYSEMKT:WYY) On Friday, the stock price broke out from its trading range with huge volumes. I feel this is the beginning of another bigger move, which is why I will be watching the stock again on Monday. Resistance is $1.75, which was Friday’s high of the day. The price can head towards the 2-2.10 zone. If this zone is surpassed, getting to 2.5 would be a possibility. Add to your position once there is a close above 1.75. The technical chart shows a continuation of the uptrend with MACD/RSI in the Bullish areas and with the AC/DT line showing a clear indication of accumulation. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

ExOne Co (NASDAQ:XONE) The short-term outlook is bullish. Fresh long should be made only when the stock closes above $64 with an up candle. On the technical side, the investor sentiment in stock showed by RSI continues strong and MACD still going up. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

Kandi Technologies Group Inc (NASDAQ:KNDI) stock price broke through the highs set in September and should continue to move. I'm buyer of KNDI once it breaks through Friday’s high of $10.48 for the continuation move. The stock will move very quickly, so watch it closely on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIGL) made a nice move on Friday and looks ready to continue next week. The stock price is coming up to a big level as the stock is near its 100-day EMA. I will be watching this stock closely on Monday as I expect to see a strong move once the stock breaks through this key resistance level. A move past $2.79 would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock. Technically the stock looks solid trading above its 9,13 and 20-day exp moving averages and fundamentally looks cheap. My model is long, targeting 3.2-3.3 area.

( click to enlarge )

Zalicus Inc (NASDAQ:ZLCS) was added to my watchlist as a possible bottom bounce-play. Chart is displaying positive divergences on momentum indicators and with the stock in oversold territory, these are the perfect conditions for a short-term rally. This stock can pop big time on any positive news. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge )

Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD) was one of the few stocks showing any strength, as the stock was able to close slightly higher on Friday. If the stock price can break through $17.75 we should see a strong upside move. Keep a close eye on RVBD next week.

( click to enlarge )

Molycorp Inc (NYSE:MCP) traded 3x normal daily volume on Friday, as the stock closed up 72c on the day. I will watch the stock next week for a follow through move and have set resistance at $6. The technicals indicators, point to a move higher in the coming days.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc.(NASDAQ:RMBS) I feel there is an upcoming move. The stock price continues to sit in a consolidation range. At some point, the stock price will breakout and I want to be there for this move. Resistance stays at $9.68 that if broken, could send shares to $10.

Stocks to Watch for December 27, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) Setting up to break through the 20-day EMA, go long when it breaks.

( click to enlarge )

NQ Mobile Inc (NYSE:NQ) had good volume and a bullish candlestick on Thursday. The stock price seems to be ready for another run up. Further strength above 13.19 ( 200-day EMA ) opens the door to 14.20. Put it on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

I think China Techfaith Wireless Comm. Tech. Ltd (NASDAQ:CNTF) remains one to watch considering the heavy buying over the last sessions. On the technical side, the MACD shows positive strength and MFI indicator shows strong demand. At some point it will explode to the upside imho. 

( click to enlarge )

AirMedia Group Inc (NASDAQ:AMCN) It appears a reversal is in progress. We need a push above 1.95 and a break of 2 to confirm another breakout. The technical chart continue to show a bullish bias. The MACD line is pointing up and RSI is also increasing. +DI is above –DI . There are no reasons for concern. Bullish setup.

Stocks to Watch for December 23, 2013

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) had a big pop on Friday and the stock price finally broke out of the falling wedge pattern that has been forming since September, which is extremely bullish. The technical daily chart appears to be bottoming. My initial price target $8.45.

( click to enlarge )

Lennar Corporation (NYSE:LEN) has formed a resistance level at 37.80. A breakout above this key resistance level would lead to an initial target in the 40 area, its high from June 2013. You should watch this stock closely on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Marathon Petroleum Corp (NYSE:MPC) is consolidating in a pennant formation (flag in white) over the last two weeks. Watch for the break and play accordingly.


( click to enlarge )

Possible resistance breakout trade setup on LyondellBasell Industries NV (NYSE:LYB). If the stock can manage a breakout above $79.34 on high volume, it would be a great buying opportunity, but only on a breakout.

( click to enlarge )

The stock price of VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) has recovered smartly since the low of 17.16. The stock is currently in a short-term uptrend and may move up to 21/21.47 on volume trading. Technical indicators are turning bullish. The MACD is rising above its signal line, but in negative territory. The RSI is above its 50% level and all three major short-term EMAs are moving up and the stock is trading above them. The strong support for the stock exists at 18.80.

( click to enlarge )

Neurometrix Inc (NASDAQ:NURO) closed Friday at the highs of the session in a fantastic move in the last seconds of trading. I think the stock price has more room to rally and we could see some strong upside over the coming days. Keep this stock on watch.

( click to enlarge )

Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) looks like the stock price is forming a potential cup-and-handle pattern on the hourly chart. At this point, a pullback or consolidation in the short-term is likely. However, a break or close above the highs will invalidate this possible formation.
