Stocks to Watch for April 12, 2013

( click to enlarge )
J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) has recovered from its yesterday's low of $13.55. The current rally should at least push the stock to $15.2 per share where the major resistance is. JPC needs to close above this level to indicate a continuation of the rally. From a technical standpoint, the MACD is showing a positive divergence, suggesting a halt in the falling price and there may be a reversal. A long trade should be made if the stock breaks above 15.2, with a stop placed below $14.

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN) The 9, 13, 20 and 50 day SMAs all point higher, and the stock has also cleared a major resistance area on solid volume, looks good for higher prices.

Active Network Inc (NYSE:ACTV) Missed this rally today, because I was too busy watching BBRY. Good looking setup here. Look for a move to test the 50-day SMA at $4.79

Nice follow through day on Sangamo Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGMO), next buy area when clears 11.24 area on strong volume.

Here are a few setups to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) confirmed my previous analyse and broke decisively above its 200-day MA today. From here we can expect a run to the 13 area and from there we could see an explosive upsurge to $13.5 and better. Daily technical indicators are turning up. Hold with a stop at the level of the 50-day MA. Add more on a convincing break out above the 13 level. Long setup.

Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE:RAD) is setting up nicely to break into new highs. Buy point would be on the day it blows through $1.95 on heavy volume.

( click to enlarge )

Himax Technologies, Inc. (ADR) (NASDAQ:HIMX) STRONG breakout of resistance on volume confirmation. The triangle on chart represents a consolidation/rest after an advance. The breakout signals a continuation of the prior advance. As long as 4.75 holds, this breakout is in great shape.

( click to enlarge )

Astex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTX) had good volume and a nice candlestick on Thursday. Daily technical indicators are bullish. The MACD is positive and has crossed above its signal. The RSI and slow stochastic have climbed above their 50% levels. Breakout watch over 4.58 

( click to enlarge )

Radian Group Inc (NYSE:RDN) had a nice surge a few weeks ago and has been consolidating that move since then. Looking good for higher prices, watch for break above consolidation area and go long.

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc.(NYSEAMEX:VRNG) Rallied hard Thursday on heavy volume. If it clears back over 3.43 (50-day MA), may have some good upside.

( click to enlarge )

Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S looks ready to make new highs. On the technical side, the chart looks very good here. MACD is positive and above its rising signal line. The 9 day and 20 day SMAs are both rising with the stock trading above them. Breakout watch over 6.22

( click to enlarge )

Active Network Inc (NYSE:ACTV) looks like it may have found a bottom already, keep on watch. 

Happy Easter for everyone !!

Some interesting setups to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

From a technical perspective, Amazon's stock is in a bull market and showing some signs of wanting to move higher. Tuesday’s intraday high of 276.68 was the highest level the stock has touched in more than a month and is now flagging here. A clearance of this level will open the door for more gains to test the all-time highs. Its daily MACD and RSI are bullish and pointing higher supporting my point of view. On the downside, support resides at the 269.24 level, its 9-day SMA and then the 265.51 level, its rising 50-day SMA. All major SMAs are moving up.
( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) - Price broke out of its consolidation pattern on Friday which leads me to believe that CROX's stock is setting up for another bullish move at least to $17/share, which would be nearly 8% gain. The technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD is positive and above its rising signal line. The RSI is above its 50% level and pointing upwards (buy signal).
( click to enlarge )

 Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEAMEX:UEC) The stock has held support on its uptrend line since November with several tests. On Friday, it closed again above the 200-day SMA, signaling bullish momentum. In addition, the accumulation distribution line still rising it means accumulation (buying). The technical chart here says this could be the beginning of new leg up.
( click to enlarge )

Possible Reversal on Uranium Resources, Inc.(NASDAQ:URRE). I have been following this technical chart for some time and the loss of momentum on the downside is signaling a possible reversal trend in the near future. Will watch to see if it can break this horizontal resistance line.
( click to enlarge )

Cavium Inc (NASDAQ:CAVM) Nice jump out of the bull flag on Friday. Looks ready to test the highs.
( click to enlarge )

 Active Network Inc (NYSE:ACTV) has started to bounce and broke out from a falling wedge pattern last week closing on Friday above the resistance of 4.8 level. It will need to break through the 20-day SMA to confirm a possible reversal here. The ADX is showing a possible positive cross, validating the positive sentiment of the MACD. On Watch.
( click to enlarge )

 Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE:VG) On my watch list for next week. 2.84 is the pivot here. If that breaks, we could see 3 quickly. The stock is trading above the major short-term SMA's and the MACD for the stock indicates a strong bullish signal. It's above the signal line and above 0.
( click to enlarge )

 US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) Might pause here but looking to add on any dip. LCC’s recent volatility has been greater than normal according to the increased distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. The stock is now touching its upper Bollinger Band, which could slow the stock price increase. If you're not long on stock, buying a pullback could be a good play to catch this.

Friday February 8th watchlist

( click to enlarge )
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has now confirmed the breakout and entered the gap on the 2H chart, next resistance above at $480. With the RSI firmly above 50 and MACD back above zero, the stock looks prime for a continuation of today's rally.

( click to enlarge )

Active Network Inc (NYSE:ACTV) - This chart popped up on my scanner today and I feel it is one that should make its way onto your watch-lists for Friday. The technical chart ( 2H ) shows a stock that is right on the cusp of a nice breakout. If the stock can break through its 200-day ema at 5.81, then I think the recent high could be well within reach. The short-term trend is definitely up. Keep a close eye on ACTV for Friday.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc.(NASDAQ:FSLR) pulled back today as most of the market traded lower, but I still think there is another upside move coming soon. Initial resistance stays at $31.99, which was last week's high. MACD finally gave a buy signal today. Keep watching the stock over the next few trading days.

( click to enlarge )

Linkedin Corporation (NYSE:LNKD) is trading higher after hours, as the company released strong earnings. Right now, the technical chart is in a short-term consolidation mode, the longer-term trend remains up. Key resistance is located at 127.45, a break above this level will confirm the new bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 140 zone.
