Stocks to Watch for February 26, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) broke out of a pennant consolidation pattern to the upside today and is likely headed much higher. I'll be watching the stock on Friday, looking for a follow through move. As long as the stock stay above $1.85, the bullish scenario still intact. Looking at the daily technical chart the stock is trading above all of three major short-term EMAs and the MACD is rising. The short-term uptrend is intact and signals further bullishness on this stock. Further rise is expected to retest the 200-day EMA.

Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) closed at $142.99, an increase by $10.53 or 7.95%. During today's trading session, the stock recorded a new 52-week high at $143.69 with a trading volume of 1.98 million shares. This looks to be a good breakout, so watch the stock very closely over the next few trading sessions.

Shares of Baytex Energy Corp (NYSE:BTE) are starting to heat up again and are worth watching. If volume can pick up I think the stock price can break through resistance at $2.22 and re-test its declining 50-day EMA.

( click to enlarge )

If Flextronics International Ltd. (NASDAQ:FLEX) can break out above $10.86 (200EMA) with heavy volume, I think the stock could shoot up to test $11.50 area. There looks to be good upside potential, so watch the stock very closely on Friday.

Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) Breaks the downtrend line in place since Nov. with a huge candle on the highest volume in almost a month. The stock hit a high of $183.62 for the day, which is resistance for Friday’s follow through move. Keep the stock on your radar since it could make a solid move upwards.

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTCT) did make a sharper move upwards during today's market and closed up almost 8% from yesterday's close after rumors that Sanofi SA may bid for the company. In short-term we could see a continuation of the bounce.

Lots of great setups for next week

( click to enlarge )

Lion Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:LBIO) definitely broke the downtrend channel and closed above the 9 & 13 EMAs for the first time since mid-July. Looking at the daily technical indicators, the momentum oscillators have now turned higher and especially the Slow stochastic indicator has issued a buy signal. Plus, the MACD and CMF show increasing upward momentum on daily chart and rising volume inflow. If momentum continues as I expect next week, there are lot of profits left on the table for traders to capitalize on. The price can move up to $8/8.50 in the short-term. This stock is on High alert for Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Baytex Energy Corp (NYSE:BTE) finally closed back above the $5 level Friday on strong volume. The stock was trading as high as $17 back in June and it appears that a massive potential bounce could be imminent. The RSI has just reversed off the 20% line and the MACD had a positive crossover. These two momentum indicators along with the rising STO is signalling that smart money has started to re-enter the stock. Plus, there was a steady increase in volume towards the end of the day, leading me to believe this stock is starting to attract some serious attention again. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) With a high short interest ratio (short interest/average daily volume) of around 21.03 (days to cover) this stock is at the perfect price where positive news could send it on a big run. Volume is starting to pick up again and there could be a decent short covering if it clears next week the $7.50 level.

( click to enlarge )

GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) I think the stock may have bottomed and could be poised for a bounce back next week. Looking at the daily technical chart MACD-histogram is sloping up, indicating that the "bears" are losing momentum and RSI has just bounced off the 30 line (extreme oversold territory). If the stock price breaks the $50 level in the next sessions momentum traders are likely to send the stock up to $54.5 (100EMA). Keep it on your watch list going forward.

( click to enlarge )

Very bullish action on Lifelock (NYSE:LOCK) Friday. The stock made a very significant move in the last trading session closing above its 20-day EMA which could be signs of a bottom for the stock. Supporting this bullish bias are the technical indicators MACD, RSI and Slow Sto all showing buy signal. The stock seems to be forming a potential rounding bottom pattern and its neckline is around 8.60. A close above this area would have positive implications and could drive the stock up to $10-10.64 in the short-term.. Keep the stock on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

The area comprehended between $9.8 and $10 represents a heavy resistance for shares of Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARIA). A close above this key resistance area would have positive implications and could drive the stock much higher. Keep the stock on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) rallied with the market last week but the bounce stalled around the 9-9.30 level, which was a strong support for stock in the past now resistance. Short-term technical indicators are improving and the MACD shows a possible bullish crossover. If the stock can break above this key resistance area, it's worth a trade. ZIOP will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

Stocks to keep an eye on January 23, 2015

( click to enlarge )

United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) has broken to the upside out of its declining channel. Daily resistances can be found at 23.37 (EMA13) and 24.12. Many tehcnical indicators are also bouncing off their lows as you can see on chart, which looks encouraging.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) I'm seeing a potential falling wedge pattern with a nice positive divergence on MACD, and they often break to the upside. A close above 42.55 should be enough to trigger a rally towards the 44 level. The recent bounce remains intact as long as the daily support at 40 holds.

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) A break through the top of the wedge at 1.05 could lead initially to 1.36, the recent high. The daily MACD is also diverging positively, suggesting a recover is just ahead.

( click to enlarge )

Baytex Energy Corp (NYSE:BTE) surged in the final hour of trading closing slightly higher. The real fireworks should begin if the stock price can close above $15.43. Keep it on your watch list going forward.

( click to enlarge )

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) broke out of a base pattern with high volume, creating a significant amount of bullish potential. The area comprehended between 3 and 3.15 represents a heavy resistance for shares. Any close above this area, would have positive implications and could drive the stock much higher. Keep the stock on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) had a pretty good rebound on price accompanied with volume. On the technical daily chart above, we can see a few technical signals suggesting that a swing higher may be in the cards. First, the MACD is displaying a new bullish crossover. At the same time, we see that the daily stochastics are showing positive momentum from oversold levels, which should reinforce a move higher if near-term resistance at $5.65 is taken out. Finally, The RSI is starting to bounce back from oversold territory. I feel there will be an upside move very soon, which is why I continue to follow this stock. The near-term upside objective is at $6.8. It's a short squeeze candidate with a short ratio of 11 (days to cover).

KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR) The technical hart looks like it has bottomed here. The stock broke out of a falling wedge formation today and such a breakout indicates a bounce towards the $17 level. The momentum indicators are also turning up.

Revolution Lighting Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:RVLT) has been flagging bullishly in recent days after a huge upmove earlier this month from sub1 to 1.30 area,  and is now on the verge of breaking out above resistance in the 1.35 area.
