This is my watchlist of stocks for Monday 01 Aug

( click to enlarge )

aTyr Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:LIFE) which broke out of a falling wedge on Wednesday and consolidated Thursday, continued to move higher Friday on heavy volume closing the session above the important price level of 3.39. This could push the stock above its next resistance level in the 4 area towards the 4.05-4.35 trading range in the next couple of trading days. This technical set-up appears to be near perfect to deliver good gains. The ADX value is increasing and above the 30 level and +DI is above the –DI indicating development of strong up trend. The MACD indicator is also above its signal line indicating further strength may be possible.


Plus, the insider transaction chart also is showing bullish signal as all transactions have been purchases of stock. In addition the institutions are also bullish, Tang Capital just bought 190k shares in Q1. We could see some impressive movement next week. I took a strong position for a swing trade here (tweeted at 2.96).

( click to enlarge )

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode next week. The Daily technical indicators are looking better for the stock with MACD indicator above its sell signal line, %K line on top of %D line and RSI indicator moving up above the 50% level. This is one for the bottom pickers. Upside volume is picking up and a small rounding bottom is also taking shape. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $5.90.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) has recovered nicely and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade next week if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $5.11. From a technical standpoint the RSI is coming out of oversold territory, MACD is curling up and Slow Stochs crossover and upward turnaround. The break of the resistance 5.11 with heavy volume should be the next buy point on ZIOP.

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Repros Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RPRX) traded nicely on Friday and I’m looking for continuation of the upward direction next week. From a technical standpoint, the daily chart looks Bullish with all short-term EMAs going up and MACD on top of 0, RSI in a Bullish area too. I'm setting resistance at $2.20, which was the high of Friday. If the stock breaks through, the next resistance lies at $2.4.

( click to enlarge )

MGT Capital Investments Inc. (NYSEMKT:MGT) had a strong bounce off the 2.61 level last week accompanied by a nice pickup in volume. If the stock holds above $3, the price may rise to the 3.30-3.50 range in the short-term. The daily technical indicators are also confirming with positive signs. MACD histogram is starting to rise and the RSI is curling higher.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) We may see some consolidation above the 7.45 level (breakout zone) after the sharp run-up in the past few sessions. The strong accumulation over the past days has shown funds moving into the company and moved share prices upward. I expect the current reversal in trend to continue.

( click to enlarge )

FireEye Inc (NASDAQ:FEYE) consolidated on Friday and formed an inside bar candle pattern above the 100-day EMA support line, which indicates a pause in the up move. Overall the bias still remains bullish.

( click to enlarge )

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAD) has not done much in the past week but continues to manage its bullish consolidation above all major EMAs. A sustained break of $38 should bring the stock price to a test of the recent highs in the $42 area. From a technical standpoint, daily technical indicators are in bullish zones. The MACD is rising and in the positive territory. RSI is above its 50% level and the Slow stochastic is inside its overbought zone. All five EMAs are rising and the stock is trading above them. Watch this "bullish" consolidation for the next directional clue.

As usual on the weekend post, I use some space in my “blog” to talk about the progress of the app I have embraced in the past weeks. Some of you know, others not, this app continues to be FREE of charge, but in the next few weeks this will change and they will start a premium service with a top experience for users. As an investor, people need help in 3 main areas - identifying potential stocks to invest in, figuring out when to buy/sell, stay on top of important information. Frankly, I am hearing from a number of my readers that the Stockal app does a pretty good job of these things. First up, it has news, analyst articles, curated social chatter and respective decision making signals all-in-one-place for most stocks. Then for every stock it can tell you when trader sentiment falls or rises or analyst opinion changes or revenue is predicted to move significantly - pretty much what you need to know to decide whether "now" is a good time. Finally, Stockal's Trending Stocks feed is good for identifying the stocks which are likely to move or are already moving. It's all quite comprehensive! Plus, you can trade directly inside the app itself. Get it for iPhone and Android .

Stocks to Watch for July 29, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Very bullish action on Adverum Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:ADVM) today. The stock made a very significant move on high volume, which could be signs of a bottom here. First resistance is seen at today's high of $3.78 and then at 4. On the technical side, MACD and ADX all point to upward trend while RSI is also rising. At today’s price of 3.62, Adverum Biotechnologies has a market cap of $153 million, less than the $247 million the company had in cash at the end of March. Based on fundamentals, the stock has a lot of upside potential, so watch it closely on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P) is showing signs of a potential upside recovery. The MACD has stabilized and is about to cross over its signal line. A crossover would be nice and bullish. The bulls remain in control as long as it continues consolidating its recent move. We still need to see a break and close above 13.52 to confirm a continuation to the upside with a next target in the 15 area. Only a break back below the 200-EMA would invalidate this bullish outlook.

( click to enlarge )

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) pulling back to support level. I think we might bounce here.

( click to enlarge )

GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) Strong move today on heavy volume. Traders should watch for a potential breakout over 13.40 The MACD is positive and above its rising signal line. A breakout above this key resistance could take the stock much higher as the daily technical chart shows little resistance.

( click to enlarge )

Alimera Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:ALIM) Nice move today on heavy volume. Traders should watch for a potential breakout over 2.17

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Mattersight Corp (NASDAQ:MATR) have room for a significant uptick beyond these levels. Volume starts to pick up again. A move above $4.09 could trigger a sharp move higher. Long set-up on watch.

( click to enlarge )

Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc - Ordinary Shares (NASDAQ:JAZZ) hit my scanner today with some impressive volume and closed up 7.69%. I expect some follow through on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

Evoke Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:EVOK) is building a nice optimistic formation above the 50-day EMA on hourly. A break above today's high of $3.28 will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to $3.60 zone. Technical indicators are looking bullish, but correcting overboughtconditions (Hourly).

Stocks to Watch for July 28, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Minerva Neurosciences Inc (NASDAQ:NERV) had a great move on the upside today and closed at $11.91. It seems like the stock is setting up to breakout. I will be watching the stock very closely tomorrow as this can be a good trading stock, but it will move quickly. From a technical standpoint the stock looks to have built a nice small flag formation and wants to make an upside move. You want to keep NERV on your screen for Thursday’s trading. First possible target price for this stock is at $13.20 and have to see from there.

( click to enlarge )

IntelliPharmaCeutics Intl Inc (NASDAQ:IPCI) With the move up today (4.29%) on volume the stock may have put in a bottom, possibly a temporary bottom, but perhaps still a bottom. We need to get another up day with nice volume to solidify this as a bottom. Short-term technical indicators are suggesting bounce is likely to continue further and I believe we could see a rally up to $1.92-1.98 in the next sessions.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd,(NASDAQ:BBRY) is very bullish now with a lot of hot indicators showing up. The slope of the recent upward move is very steep accompanied by increasing volume. The stock closed at $7.58, up 35 cents (+4.84%) on volume of 7.79 Million and price finally broke out from the horizontal resistance mark around $7.48. All indicators are in favor of an upward price movement. Key intermediate resistance for the stock however exists in the zone between $8.15 and $8.30. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here, so keep it on the radar.

( click to enlarge )

Chimerix Inc (NASDAQ:CMRX) presents a potentially lucrative opportunity with several daily technical indicators suggesting it could make a big run very soon. Looking good for $4.27 breakout.

( click to enlarge )

Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA (NYSE:BVN) Nice looking breakout with volume. The stock hit a high of $14 which is now resistance for Thrusday’s follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:BLDP) New highs on strong volume. Go long on the break of Wednesday’s high at 2.12

( click to enlarge )

SCYNEXIS Inc (NASDAQ:SCYX) has appeared recently on my blog for a potential move higher. Looking at technical chart above, you can see for yourself that the recent gains have come on relatively strong volume while some key indicators are displaying positive divergences. Looks like we might bounce back into the $2.35 area and have to see from there.

Stocks to Watch for July 27, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:FOLD) For what it's worth, the price cleared this key horizontal resistance line on increased volumes. The bounce from the 20-day EMA makes it more authentic. The MACD is rising and the RSI is moving up showing renewed strength. Ready for higher prices. Stop 5.75

Adverum Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:ADVM) Positive divergences on daily indicates that a bounce is likely. For me, it seems to be forming a bottom and the breakout is a matter of time. It's a cash-rich company.

CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX) is looking pretty good breaking out of a consolidation pattern with a significantly higher target in place.

( click to enlarge )

( click to enlarge )

XOMA Corp (NASDAQ:XOMA) starting to wake up, breakout watch above 58c. The daily technical chart shows that MACD is rising in negative territory, while the RSI is also gaining strength. Next resistance is located at 58c while there is some nice support around 53c. If a proper breakout happens at 58c we can see an initial target of 65c

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is trading higher after hours, as the company released good earnings. For tomorrow, the levels to watch on upside will be at 101.89 and 102.22

Here are 7 Stocks to Keep An Eye On

( click to enlarge )

Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK) finally broke out of a large base formation last week and closed on Friday just slightly below a key resistance level at 5.69 (200-day EMA). A break of this level in the next couple of days could lead the stock towards the 6.50 area. Daily technical indicators are in bullish zones and showing upward momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Adverum Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:ADVM) is one stock that has sold off the past few weeks, but Friday’s move could be the start of a turnaround. On the daily technical chart, we can see a few technical signals suggesting that a swing higher may be in the cards in the short-term. First, the MACD is displaying a positive divergence. At the same time, we see that the daily stochastics are showing positive momentum from oversold levels (%K line has just rose on top of %D line), which should reinforce a move higher if near-term resistance at $3.26 is taken out. Finally, the relative strength index (RSI) is starting to bounce back from oversold territory. The company currently has 247.1 million in cash and is trading on a market cap of 87M. Bargain hunters should find this stock on Monday. ADVM will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

( click to enlarge )

I have been watching VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) over the past few days, waiting for a possible upside move. On Friday's session, we have seen high volume at the bottom, which was probably buying activity. The bulls hardly tried to close above the 100-day and 200-day EMAs, but did not succeed. However, the daily technical indicators are improving significantly. The RSI value is increasing and the MACD indicator just made a bullish crossover. I'm using $4.51 as resistance for this upside move. If the stock can close above this level next week, we should see a reversal of this downtrend. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge )

I continue to watch this stock. The volume is still large so Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) could potentially break out again at any moment.

( click to enlarge )

SCYNEXIS Inc (NASDAQ:SCYX) broke resistance on Friday, but was not able to make the expected move. Friday’s high was $2.35, which is resistance for the follow through move on Monday. If the stock does break resistance, I expect to see a strong upside move. Looking at the daily technical chart above there looks to be more room in this move, so watch the stock closely over the next few days.

( click to enlarge )

Resolute Energy Corp (NYSE:REN) is trading near its all time high (potential bullish flag formation). Buy only when the stock breaches $8.30. The stock seems to be consolidating at higher levels to work out the overbought signal.

( click to enlarge )

Newmont Mining Corp (NYSE:NEM) has been in a nice uptrend since mid April. After hitting up to a high 41.68 in the second week of July, the stock pulled back to its breakout point and looks to be setting up for another upside move. If the stock can break through that resistance, we should see an increase in volume as traders like to watch this stock. Hold your current position with a stop at $38.97.

I continue to support this app project and will do everything I can to help this fantastic team to create one of the best financial apps out there. The Stockal app is getting pretty good reviews and it's still a free app .You could download and use it for tracking and trading in all your stocks - getting news, analysis and social chatter all in one place; along with interesting investing signals that can help you decide better/faster.
