A few chart setups for the coming days and trading rules

Dearest readers,

I would like to thank you all for your cooperation and support during these last few months of the year, with a high increase of followers on Stocktwits (76000) and a great increase in the number of followers on twitter that has almost reached 38000 followers. Then, announce that in the next 3 weeks I will be on vacation and will not be back to update the blog until 10th of August. But before I leave you, I added a few charts with potential trade ideas for the coming days and once again my trading rules for newbies. Good luck to all of you.

Safe Bulkers, Inc. (NYSE: SB) jumped 24 cents, or 11.88%, Friday to 2.26, breaking out after consolidating for two weeks in a bullish flag formation. If the stock breaks Friday's high of the day in the 2.3 area, it could retest the November highs in the 2.6-2.7 area within the next couple of days. Momentum key indicators are in bullish mode on the daily chart.

Blackberry (NYSE: BB) the daily chart above is showing a stock that could be making strides toward turning higher. The daily MACD is curling nicely and the current $6.85 - $7 area looks like a some solid support/interest. We could see a quick pop from these levels.

( click to enlarge )

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp (NASDAQ: TNXP) is getting ready to come out of this base pattern. A close above 60c gets the party started. I would like to point out that while the stock is consolidating the accumulation line still rising, which means, someone is buying this dip.

( click to enlarge )

Bio-Path Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: BPTH) appears to have solid footing in the $13.25's and looks ready to test the $15's again.

( click to enlarge )

Kadmon Holdings Inc (NYSE: KDMN) has been in a strong upwards trend the past few weeks and is correcting some of the big gains while working out the overbought conditions. The 2.4 area level could provide a good entry point for short-term trades.

( click to enlarge )

AK Steel Holding (NYSE: AKS) seems to be a promising stock to follow in the coming days. The stock broke the downtrend line from the February peak of $3.29, which sets the stage for additional gains. Thing to watch out now for this stock is its resistance at 2.43 (declining EMA100), which if broken may give the possibility of it going to as high as 2.61 in short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: NEPT) is one of the hottest stocks in the market right now. The stock broke out to all time highs again last week and the volume was very strong, signaling that this move should hold. This is generally a hot buy from a technical perspective and the short-covering will continue to power the stock higher. The momentum clearly favors the bulls. The stock is now very overbought and it seems reasonable that it should rest. Technically a buy on any dip to the pivot zone.

( click to enlarge )

Dean Foods Co (NYSE: DF) broke the descending channel from the February highs on relative high volume and could eventually rally up to test its key resistance zone around the 1.5 area in the next sessions. In addition, MACD indicates positive momentum, while RSI is also gaining strength. Keep it on your watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Boeing (NYSE: BA) Volume is picking up but the stock needs to break this resistance zone first to me. If the stock can break out above $380 with heavy volume, I think the stock could shoot up to test $397 area. There looks to be good upside potential, so watch the stock very closely.

( click to enlarge )

Ameri Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: AMRH) is a penny stock I am watching closely. It can pop big time on any positive news. The stock is trading within an uptrend and in the short-term outlook it could rise to around 42c

( click to enlarge )

Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) Coiling up here. A break through this 3.52 area could accelerate it higher.

( click to enlarge )

Vislink Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: VISL) was added to my watchlist as a possible bottom bounce-play for another possible swing trade. It is extremely oversold at this price level. Volume picked up a bit on Friday and the daily MACD is starting to curl up, suggesting that a positive crossover could be coming soon. Bargain hunters may want to accumulate here.

I decided to share you all followers again my basic trading rules that should be taken always in consideration for trading in order to become a successful trader in the stock market. 

1 - The trend is your friend, so never go against the trend. 
2 - Keep your losses small. Golden rule: Cut losses short. Let profits run. 
3 - Use stops. The stop loss should be placed few cents below the supports and not at the same level. 4 - Learn the basics of fundamentals, charts and technical indicators. 
5 - The good trader is one who makes consistent gains, so don’t be a greedy trader, appreciate the small and the big gains. 
6 - Do not fear the market. Be always confident in your trade decisions. 
7 - Never buy what you do not want, because you think it is cheap. 
8 - Always be conscious that the loss may arise and you should be prepared for that to happen. Open mind. 
9 - For large positions, you must to have total control of the market never losing sight 
10 - Volume is a leading indicator, so play the breakouts using the volume as support of your decision. 
11 - Chart breaks without volume could be a trap and the probabilities of succeeding are low 
12 - Do not be hasty to buy or sell a stock, every day there are new opportunities to make money. Be patient is the key of success of any trader. 
13 - Only believe fundamentals as long as the technical signals follow. 
14 - Trading very speculative stocks is a frequent mistake. 
15 - Do not trade positions too large relative to your available capital. 
16 - Do not invest all your money in one company. Your portfolio must be diversified. 
17 - The Greed to pick tops or bottoms is a usual error. Wait for the perfect and confirmed signal. 
18 - Do not make trading decisions based on a story you saw in the morning paper. The market many times has already discounted the information. 
19 - Review your missteps to improve your skills 

As i always say, with patience and discipline, you can take much more from the stock market than you ever gave. Trading stocks is not easy for beginners or professionals, it is really very hard and requires lot of attention and knowledge. If stock trading was easy, everyone would be doing it. You can be successful at the stock market, with patience, discipline and a good trade set-up. The key objective is to make money and not lose it.

A few stocks on my top watchlist for short term swings

( click to enlarge )

Eros International plc (NYSE: EROS) has been consolidating in the 1.6-1.85 area. A move above 1.88 would indicate a break out of the flag, with the potential to reach 2.6, my initial target, and then $3 Stop loss 1.59 Note: Earnings on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Akerna Corp (NASDAQ: KERN) I think this stock will post a sharp rally from current levels. This was a $72 stock in June and at $14, in my opinion, there is a compelling risk/reward scenario. The risk is the stock continues to fall but the drop is very limit at this point IMHO, the reward is a swift 50-100% type move for this highly oversold stock. The daily chart above does not lie. When a positive divergence in the market occurs, the oscillator is rising but the stock isn't, then this is an indicator that a change in trend is imminent. That trend change for KERN is just getting under way. Im long.

( click to enlarge )

Valeritas Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: VLRX) The dip on Friday to $2.85 might have been an amazing opportunity for investors to snag a few shares. If recent history for VLRX is any indication of what the future holds, than expect another swift move to the upside next week.

( click to enlarge )

Sequential Brands Group Inc (NASDAQ: SQBG) has broken out in a big way. This stock could see 75c in swift fashion next week. The volume on Friday has been nothing short of remarkable. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) has been under slow and steady accumulation over the last several trading sessions. The stock appears to have solid footing in the $1.5's and looks ready to test the $2's. Breakout watch over 1.7

( click to enlarge )

Phunware Inc (NASDAQ: PHUN) is on bottom and volume watch. Last week this tock saw strong volume and a modest increase in its share price. The line is drawn in the sand here. It will either bounce big or the flame will slowly die out. Keep it on your radar Monday morning. RSI is displaying a positive divergence.

( click to enlarge )

Workhorse Group Inc (NASDAQ: WKHS) surged to new highs last week amidst a flurry of buying. This stock, once a forgotten a penny stock, has amassed an impressive investor following. The buzz continues to grow in WS with each new high. It is a stock to watch for the foreseeable future. The bias remains to the upside.

( click to enlarge )

Uxin Ltd (NASDAQ:UXIN) came under some serious buying pressure on Friday and posted a gain of 15%. Considering the money flowing into the stock it doesn't look like this run is just a one day pump. More likely UXIN will hold above EMA50 for some time. Its only a matter of how high it will go. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

ShiftPixy Inc (NASDAQ: PIXY) was another high money volume stock on Friday. Keep it on your watch list.

Some interesting chart setups in the bigcaps and smallcaps to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

Qutoutiao Inc (NASDAQ: QTT) made a strong upside reversal Friday on solid volume. The daily technical chart above suggests that stock might find now resistance at $4.61. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. I think this could be the spark of a new bull trend in the making. I'm watching for a follow through move on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Aileron Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ALRN) has fallen in a slow steady decline from $1.7 down to 61c with nary a bounce. I think that bounce is coming and it will be impressive to behold. The stock is likely forming a double bottom pattern and it could stage a decent recovery above 75c. There is a big catalyst in September ( ALRN-6924 and IBRANCE), so this could be a good spot to accumulate shares. At extreme oversold conditions and with a positive MACD divergence on daily, i decide to start buying shares on Friday for a possible big bounce from current levels. Risk/reward seems favorable. Short-term target 1-1.1

( click to enlarge )

Leap Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: LPTX) seems to have broken out of a major horizontal resistance that targets a move to 2.5 in the stock. The daily technical indicator MACD shows the stock is still in a positive momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Precipio Inc (NASDAQ: PRPO) back-tested successfully the breakout point last week and we can now move higher to test Monday's high of 4.39 Still on my top watchlist. I think this stock deserves some watching in the coming days. If the buying continues in earnest things could get very interesting.

( click to enlarge )

Revolve Group LLC (NYSE: RVLV) After touching a high of $48.36 a few weeks ago, the stock has been in a corrective phase. The stock made a nice move on Friday, breaking a key resistance and looks ready to continue on Monday. Short-term outlook is positive and a move to 40-42 range appears likely.

( click to enlarge )

Viveve Medical Inc (NASDAQ: VIVE) is forming a bottom or hit bottom Friday and look ready for a rebound. I really like VIVE here at 35c/37c and think based on the recent pennymania momentum that it could do a 50-100% type run from here. I might be a little early with this call, but in the end I think it will be very profitable.

( click to enlarge )

ShiftPixy Inc (NASDAQ: PIXY) over the last trading days has seen its stock rise from 34c to a high of 65c Friday. Volume has also been on the rise. Chart looks bullish. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over 65c. If you don't have this stock on your watchlist yet, I think now is a good time to add it.

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) closed higher on Friday as the stock looks to be bouncing off support. The stock hit a high of $1.64 on Friday, which is resistance for Monday’s follow through move. IGC can be a fast moving stock, so keep it on your radar and be ready for this upside move.

( click to enlarge )

AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVEO) There is something important to point out in this chart, the volume is daily decreasing which could mean that the current trend will probably not continue and a reversal may be imminent. When company insiders puts hundreds of thousands of their own money into their stock, you have to believe they are doing it for a reason. They purchased a lot of shares at 1.14. This stock tends to make violent moves to the upside at support.

( click to enlarge )

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) is coming up to a big level again. I will be watching this stock closely on Monday as I expect to see a strong move once the stock breaks through resistance. A move past $325.58 would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock. Technically the stock looks solid trading above all key EMAs. My model is long.

Friday July 5th watchlist

( click to enlarge )

Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) what a rally for this stock on Wednesday. Also significant was that the stock closed above a key resistance point of $3. The stock hit a high of $3.26, which is now resistance for Friday's continuation. Daily technical indicators are supporting the bulls. The MACD is rising and RSI is moving up above its 50 level. Keep this stock on watch.

( click to enlarge )

TOUGHBUILT INDU/SH (NASDAQ: TBLT) volume was sharp on Wednesday and we could be looking at the beginning of a new uptrend. Let's see what Friday brings. Pennymania is back, and FCEL was a good example in the last 3 sessions.

( click to enlarge )

Blackberry (NYSE: BB) Bottom Seems to Be Reached. Watch the break of 7.55 on Friday to start a big bounce.

( click to enlarge )

Biopharmx Corp (NYSEAMERICAN: BPMX) looks to have bottomed out, as a big buyer stepped in at the end of the session to close the stock a few ticks higher then session lows. Volume and price have dropped recently, but I think the cheaper prices will bring more buyers into this stock.

( click to enlarge )

Precipio Inc (NASDAQ: PRPO) This stock has one of best setups out there. Big pop on volume to break the channel, then a pullback on low volume, usually the entry point. Trading volume is drying up, which isn't good for short sellers. Still holding a strong position. I suggest you keep this stock on your radar. At some point I think it will post another impressive rally.

( click to enlarge )

aTyr Pharma Inc (NASDAQ: LIFE) patent news out late in the session brought buyers. After falling from $10 to sub $5, investors are slowly starting to recognize the potential and the cash position of this stock. I feel a rally to $6.5 and better is in the cards short term.

( click to enlarge )

Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: HEB) this $4 stock looks primed for a run, and sits near its 52 week low. Insiders are buying shares at fast pace in motnhs. This alone should bolster the price per share. I would like to take this opportunity to share ARTICLE


( click to enlarge )

Ameri Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: AMRH) with each passing day I feel more positive about this stock. I see this stock trading well over 62c in the near future. I have a habit of seeing these big gains before anyone else, and I don't think it will be any different this time around. Penny mania is back !!!
