The daily technical chart pattern of ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) has been consolidating within a falling wedge pattern that has bullish implications. A breakout is needed to end this large consolidation and resume the uptrend. At this point Im inclined to mark a key resistance zone around 10-10.2. A move above this area, would break the upper trendline and the resistance zone. If a breakout occurs, we could see an acceleration of the bullish momentum and move toward the 11.50-12.13 area. Daily technical indicators are looking bullish, MACD and RSI are showing upward momentum. On watch.

ITT Educational Services, Inc.(NYSE:ESI) surged 81% on Friday on one of the heaviest volume sessions this year, with 11.7 million shares traded. That is nearly 11x the average. Let's keep things simple as always! Could history repeat itself ? After looking at this daily technical chart and reviewing the price action, I came to the conclusion that we could see a surge like the one on the chart from mid-October of 2014. The small float and the high short interest could fuel another massive spike higher once the 50-day EMA is taken out to the upside. RSI has lot of room and MACD is crossing up.

Celladon Corp (NASDAQ:CLDN) The rally in the price has broken the downtrend line on Friday, which is a buy signal. The stock could see now a significant bounce from this level. On the technical side, MACD and Slow Sto all point to upward trend while RSI is trying to break above its 30% level, passing into neutral territory. Plus, the stock broke through its 9-day EMA for the first time since April and should continue to move. CLDN has a lot of upside potential, so watch it closely on Monday.

On Friday, the stock closed near its critical breakout point of $10, which may be broken out next week. Looking at the daily technical chart the MACD momentum is rising and RSI is on a strong uptrend, which when combined with the strengthening MACD could spell a strong move for the stock. If it crosses the $10 level, the stock has potential to gain 10-12%.

For now, expect a run up to next resistance area around $2. If the stock is able to cross it and sustain above it, then it might go to $2.40. Keep it on your watch list going forward.

I continue to support the idea of a significant rally on shares of Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE:OAS), probably even above the February highs. The bulls remain in control as long as it continues consolidating its recent move. We still need to see a break and close above 17.83 or 100EMA to confirm a continuation to the upside with a next target in the 20 area. Only a break back below the 15 would invalidate this bullish outlook.
