Stocks to Watch for September 30, 2013

Blyth, Inc. (NYSE:BTH) A short squeeze on the horizon ? This stock has surged in recent days amid HEAVY volume and closed the week above its 100-day EMA for the first time since April. With almost 62% of the float short or 5,567,300 shares, I think this stock is due for a big move higher. On the technical side, the short-term daily chart remains bullish. The stock is trading above its 20-day and 50-day EMAs but slightly below its falling 200-day EMA. Plus, the MACD is positive and rising. If the stock can break through $14.49 resistance, we should see another strong upside move. BTH will move very quickly, so watch the stock closely next week.

Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P) appears to be consolidating in a bullish pennant formation, well above the rising 50-day EMA. If you are not already in this one wait for the break of the consolidation zone on volume. The AC/DT indicator continues to show accumulation. Pandora is one to put on watch next week.

EnteroMedics Inc (NASDAQ:ETRM) has been flagging bullishly just above 1.20 zone and on Friday had another strong bounce off 100-day EMA and price level support. The bullish signal is coming from the AC/DT indicator that is turning up again, which means the stock is being accumulated. In addition, we see that there was a bullish crossover signal last week, with the 20-day EMA crossing above the 100-day EMA. Long setup.

American Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ:ACAS) showed strength all day and broke out of a triangle pattern consolidaton Friday. If you do not already own the stock, the next buy point is when it clears the 13.94 level on volume.

Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) A major support has been broken down last week at $14. Technically, the stock is in a Bearish mode with MACD below signal line and the price below both 20 and 50 day exponential moving averages. The stock has a key support level at $13.75 (100-day EMA). Buy only when the stock reverses from this support.

Itau Unibanco Holding SA (NYSE:ITUB) On the daily, we can see that the stock has found a nice support above its 200-say EMA. It's probably back to uptrend and with RSI rising we could see possible rally coming for the stock. The short-term targets are $14.5 and then $14.94. Let's keep an eye on it as i think momentum will pick up. Stop 13.49 (EMA100)

Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) is sitting right on its 100-day exponential moving average at $869.9. It has a good base at 860 which can be used as a stop loss for long position. On the upper side, the move is likely to accelerate above 882. Short-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above 870.

Stocks to Watch for May 13, 2013

J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) has recovered nicely from its April lows and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade, if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $17.78. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch this stock closely next week.

Eagle Materials, Inc. (NYSE:EXP) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The technical indicators are looking Bullish with MACD indicator rising above its sell signal line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50% level. Breakout watch above 72.19

( click to enlarge )

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) is one for the bottom pickers. The stock entered within the gap area and a short term rally is expected. The RSI is bouncing off 30 and the Chaikin Money Flow is positive showing money is flowing into the stock. A reversal may be on the way.

Friday was an amazing day for K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN). With a combination of strong volume and a huge breakout, this pick truly was a great find :) The stock hit a high of $27.75, which is now resistance for Monday’s continuation move.

Another possible bottom play to put on your watchlist is Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV). The stock made a nice move on Friday bouncing off a bottom support around $2.60 cents. Looking at the technical chart, there are early signs in the indicators, that a larger move may be coming. Stop loss 2.58

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) took a breather last week and traded between 450 and 463. The sideward movement is really good for a flag formation. Daily technical indicators are giving bullish signals. The MACD is rising above its signal line and inside positive territory. RSI is moving above its 50% level and CMF is positive. A pullback is healthy here. Support is currently at 438.74, resistance at 463 and 466.86.

Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) The bears and the bulls are in a constant battle as most of the trading days last week were marked by positive/negative news. From a technical perspective, short-term technical indicators are strong and the RSI on the daily chart recently produced a new buy signal. Additionally, the stock is trading above 50-day and 200-day EMAs with both pointing upwards If the stock can break Friday’s high of $15.68, we should see a strong follow through move. The short interest hit a new high last month and was around 34% of the float, which makes this stock the perfect play for a short squeeze.

Tuesday December 11st watchlist

( click to enlarge )

Teradyne, Inc.(NYSE:TER) looks poised for a break to the upside. Waiting for a break above the 16.49 level for a long position. Price will continue to move up as long as it sustains above the 13-day moving average. Daily technicals look bullish.

( click to enlarge )

Technical chart of Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) is now printing a strong Bullish movement after stock has broken the key resistance area of $4 on strong volume. LSCC has just entered into a short-term bull market as the stock is on top of 20-day and 50-day moving average. I expect a continuation of the upward movement. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here. Next resistance is now seen at $4.167 then 4.50.

( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc.(NASDAQ:CROX) broke through resistance of $14 but didn't have much momentum behind the move. A close beyond a resistance level is more significant than an intraday penetration, so keep an eye on CROX again to see if tomorrow stock will confirm intraday breakout.

( click to enlarge )

Blyth, Inc. (NYSE:BTH) gave us a nice move on Monday closing above the recent highs, which could be the start of a new trend North. If the stock can break through Monday’s high of $16.92, we should see a strong follow through move. Although the stock did not perform well this quarter, we should see a rebound very soon as the technical chart now shows positive momentum is back as MACD is moving upwards and %K line is on top of %D line. In addition, 13-day moving average and 20-day moving average seems both are stabilizing which is a very positive sign. Keep an eye on her.

Mylan Inc. (NASDAQ:MYL) Nice breakout on high volume. The MACD had just cut above its signal line. Fresh buying may be considered on a move past $28.10, with a stop-loss at $27.23

Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) That's a good looking chart for a Tuesday. It's a buy on a break of $87.5 with solid volume. On the technical side, we also have a bullish MACD crossover.
