Potential setups for next week

Hi everyone,

Here are a few stock winners from last week watch list :  Zynga Inc (ZNGA), Pacific Ethanol Inc (PEIX), Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA),  Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (HBAN), Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG), Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD), Dendreon Corporation (DNDN), Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE), Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD)

The action in the market continues to be very strong as we make new higher highs on SP500, therefore my bias is on the bullish side. Also, economic data continues to show strong improvements. Here are some more potential setups for next week.

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is one of the stocks I'm following which has a very nice rising channel pattern with higher lows and higher highs. It pulled back on low volume Friday, holding support at the 20-day EMA (30.01). Could move again soon. The bullish scenario in short-term still intact so we must see this bearish momentum just as a correctional movement. My model remains mixed with upside bias. On a medium-term basis, the next target is somewhere up around the 39-40 zone.

Still keeping my eye on Inteliquent (NASDAQ:IQNT). The stock seems to be forming an ascending triangle with resistance at approximately 3.15. Once that level is breached on a closing basis that holds, the next target is $4. All short-term EMAs are rising and the stock is well above. At this point, the technical indicators are supporting the bullishness. The MACD is moving up in the positive zone and is above the signal line.

VIVUS, Inc.(NASDAQ:VVUS) made a big move last week, the stock was able to move past several important levels of resistance in just a week. On the chart, shares are breaking 1 month downtrend and currently forming a bullish consolidation flag above its 200-day EMA with next resistance at $13.96 and $14.84. VVUS also has 28% of its float short, 4 days to cover. Long setup.

The long awaited break of its 200-day EMA is just one step away. Watching for $5.68 breakout. The technical chart above shows very bullish sign as the stock is on top of 20-day EMA with it also on top of 50-EMA. In addition, RSI is still above the 50-line and heading north. If you haven't added RMBS to your watchlist, now is the time.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has recently been trading with increased volume and is about to test resistance at $480.58. The stock needs to close above this level to indicate a continuation of the rally and the following uptrend will take price up to $500 zone.

Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) had an interesting day on Friday, as it broke out of the range and closed near the highs. Friday’s high was $37.63, which is resistance for the continuation move on Monday. There is a lot of upside in this trade, so keep XLNX on your screen next week.

Thursday February 7th watchlist

Hi everyone,

Here are some trade ideas for tomorrow.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) closed up over 7% today on heavy volume near its session highs and looks to build upon those gains tomorrow. Certainly, this is a stock to watch heading into the weekend. FSLR is starting to gain interest again and could see a rapid ascent as the accumulation chart shows a trend reversal to the upside. It could see $35 in the very near term. Put this stock at the top of your radar after Citigroup has initiated coverage on the shares with a 'buy' recommendation and target price of $41

Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P) has been in an uptrend since mid December 2012. The stock has pulled back to its trend line and looks to be setting up for another upside move. Resistance is $11.90, which was the recent high. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see an increase in volume as traders like to watch this stock.

( click to enlarge )

Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE) is consolidating inside an ascending triangle with resistance at 38.78. If it breaks out of the ascending triangle, target price is at 41.

( click to enlarge )

Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) seems to have formed an ascending triangle and broke above resistance at 38.71. The target price for the small triangle is 39.8. The breakout volume is good.

Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE:BYD) is getting ever so close to breaking out higher. Keep this on your watchlist.

Zynga Inc (NASDAQ:ZNGA) is catching the attention of market players again after the earnings report. The stock was very active as it closed up $.25 on 4x normal daily volume. ZNGA might face a period of sideways action while it consolidates the gains booked in the last two sessions. Resistance is now located at $3.12 but if the stock can push up into the $3.2's, I feel it could retest $3.27 or above. Chart looks bullish.
