Whiting Petroleum Corp (NYSE:WLL) The stock surged on Friday more than 4% to $40 per share after Bloomberg reported that the company has attracted interest from Exxon Mobil Corp. and Continental Resources Inc. as it explores a sale of the entire company. From the technical chart we can see that currently the stock is in a large trading range between 40.23 and 32.50. I classify the $40 as key resistance area since it has caused significant turning points in the price and held on the last three tests. MACD and RSI both signal positive strength. Watch the stock closely on Monday.

King Digital Entertainment PLC (NYSE:KING) is starting to regain its form. On Friday, I wrote on twitter "KING Continuing to hold above major EMAs, watch for more upside" and the stock made a nice reversal candlestick pattern. The stock has been basing for a while above its 200EMA and technically is due for a break out. We can see a strong support and buyers coming in around 14.50/60 area. At present levels the stock is undervalued. A sustained break of $15 should bring the stock to a test of the recent highs. There seems to be a lot of room to run higher here.

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) has been resilient in the recent carnage in the markets. The stock is in strong hands and a close greater than $14 will trigger more upsides. The 11.87 (20EMA) level is the stop loss from a short term perspective and stock can be accumulated in declines. Upsides resistance zones are 13.45, 14 and 14.27
