Stocks to Watch for July 07, 2014

AXT Inc (NASDAQ:AXTI) was a stock I alerted to my twiter followers on Thursday as a bottom trade. The stock closed near the highs of the day and above its 50-day EMA for the first time since May on stronger than normal volume. The technical chart shows a stock that is starting to breakout and I would look to the $2.55/2.6 area as the next point of resistance. The bias is likely to remain positive as long as the stock price sustains above 2.06. If we see follow-through on Monday the stock might run hard. From a fundamental standpoint the company is also interesting, it has no debt, trades below book value of $4.14 and has $1.39 cash per share. Keep AXTI on your radar screens.

Short covering in some coal stocks produced some strong gains on Thursday. Shares of Walter Energy, Inc. (NYSE:WLT) broke through resistance at $6 and closed above its 50-day exp moving average for the first time since Januray. This could be a significant turning point for stock.

For the past four months J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) stock price has been moving sideways mostly flat since May. Connecting the peaks and lows since then, it seems that JCP´s stock may be in a symmetrical triangle formation. The momentum in the short-term remains bullish with MACD trending upwards above its signal line. A close above 9.54 would be required to turn the near-term bias significantly toward buying trades. You should keep this stock on your radar next week.

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) is currently consolidating after having moved up nearly 30 per cent in recent weeks. A breakout above 14.82 would position the stock price to test next resistance at around 16.

Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ:DWCH) Nice bottom base here. The Momentum has turned bullish and a break above resistance at 16.31 would open the door for a rally to 20. I bought this stock on Thursday. Nice to see that George Soros bought a position in the company in the first quarter of this year. This is a low float stock that could be ready to soar :)

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) showed some strength on Thursday and closed nicely above the 20-day EMA with solid volume. At this level, we should see the stock retest the resistance located at $17.10 followed by $17.21. The support level is adjusted to $16.11
