First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) On the daily technical chart the stock continues its up trend, with higher top and higher bottom formation. Recent high volume activity, along with positive crossover of MACD oscillator on the daily charts, suggest fresh buying interest in the stock. The daily RSI is sustaining above the 50% level and supports the bullish argument. Also, the 100-day exponential moving average continues to act as a strong support. So, as long as the stock holds above this key moving average, the trend remains to the upside.

CombiMatrix Corp (NASDAQ:CBMX) closed on Friday at 5.78, gaining 5.67%. The stock shows signs of bottoming out with the recent up move fromits 52-week low. It has also moved back from oversold zone and maintains bullish bias by holding above short-term moving averages. I continue to see a confluence of "buys", with RSI crossing above 50 and MACD heading up. The company management will participate in one investor conference next week at the 28th Annual ROTH Conference on Wednesday, March 16, 2016. This could be a positive catalyst for shares.

We finally got the breakout in Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ:ADP). Shares rallied past resistance near $87 and hit my trigger to open positions. If the near-by support at $86.71 holds up on Monday, a rally up to the $89.5 level is probable or even possible. Only a close below $86 would negate the positive outlook. From a technical standpoint, the stock maintains a bullish bias with its recent run up, backed by the key daily momentum indicators.
