Wednesday September 26th watchlist

W.W. Grainger, Inc. (NYSE:GWW) is still trading sideways in the short-term, between 200 and 211. Its technical indicators are showing positive signal and its price bars are trading above the major SMA's, denoting the current positive tone that may turn into a new uptrend soon.

ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:ONNN) is looking bearish in the short term and has a major support at 6 that needs to hold.

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has a strong support at $27.10. If the stock breaches this level on a close basis, then it might decline to $25.5. Almost all of the short-term indicators have turned bearish.

AuRico Gold Inc (USA) (NYSE:AUQ) is still looking pretty good. After a seven-day sprint higher it is not a surprise to see a couple of days of rest. If you are looking for an entry point in AUQ I would wait and watch for a dip or a bounce near 6.58 or the 6.4 level. I'm adjusting my stop loss to 6.2 and my target is the 7.50-8 range.

Shares of Biosante Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:BPAX) rallied higher this morning. The stock hit 2.10 before paring its gains. I remain bullish on BPAX and would watch for a dip and bounce near 1.83 or a breakout over 2.1 as a potential entry point for new long positions. 

During the day I tweet many times to my readers. I encourage everybody to subscribe AC Investor Blog  twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.

5 Small Caps for Your Watch List

 ( click to enlarge )

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ:BPAX) had a very bullish move today breaking several resistance lines with large volume. Looks like we have a burst north coming. If it breaks out of $3.13, target price is around $3.78.

I alerted Akorn, Inc.(NASDAQ:AKRX) as a day trading opportunity. This stock is showing signs of an upcoming breakout as price action and volume and making some bull signals here. Keep an eye on Akorn for a possible breakout over $8.46.

Sino Clean Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:SCEI) is still facing resistance around $1.70. The technical chart above is showing some bullish bias. MACD is indicating that the current short term price trend is turning around. In addition, the On Balance Volume is positive, indicating accumulation of shares in the market. Next resistance lies at $1.55 then followed by $1.70.

The stock might consolidate here for awhile. MELA (NASDAQ:MELA) price continues to be strong. Positive for the long term. Try to buy around $3. 

 ( click to enlarge )

Gulf Resources, Inc.(NASDAQ:GURE) strong close. Twitted  this one today. The technical chart displays a downtrend line broken to the upside on volume expansion. MACD signal line has crossed to the upside as well. Short interest declined more 10% in Aug vs. prior Mo. The trend is beginning to shift towards bullish, a possible long entry can be taken if $2 provides support. From here we can expect a run to the $2.5 area and from there we could see an explosive upsurge to $2.84 and better. Smells like news coming.

Stock Watchlist For Next Week

( click to enlarge )

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPAX)  is forming a symmetrical triangle with support at $3.53. I am expecting a breakout at $3.79. So far, all indicators are in favor of an upward price movement: all the 3 major moving averages are below the current price and MACD still above the 0 line. If the support holds we might be able to see the breakout.

( click to enlarge )

And finally, FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) is a buy, based on today's bullish move. The stock broke the 200 day MA and also the resistance of the channel. First possible target price for this stock is at $10.71 and have to see from there. Looking at the technical indicators, we have the MACD above the center line, so this means we can now go long on this stock, especially in the light of the recent breakout. RSI is also moving up and above its 50% level. As the stock moves higher, the Moving averages will further confirm this bullishness with crossovers.


 ( click to enlarge )

Let’s take a look at XNPT’s activity in the light of the recent successive price increases. Looking at XNPT’s chart, we can see that it is positively reacting to the recent events. This stock is still consolidating as seen from the intertwining of the 3 moving average lines. The good side of this stock technically is that the MACD is still above the "0" line and RSI above its 50% level so this stock is still bullish for now even if it is still consolidating. Recently Piper Jaffray reiterated an “overweight” rating on shares of Xenoport Inc. (NASDAQ: XNPT) and $14 PT. Xenoport Inc. has a 52 week low of $5.66 and a 52 week high of $11.82. The stock’s 50-day moving average is $7.40 and its 200-day moving average is $7.74. The company has a market cap of $269.07 million. Worth watching over 7.74.

Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE:IPI) -  At this stage it seems that we have room for $1 run before next resistance at $35.14.
