My Watchlist for Monday, August 22

( click to enlarge )

Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P) seems to have reversed from its short-term downtrend and could be starting a new uptrend. The daily technical chart shows that the stock has been exhibiting the bullish pattern of higher highs and high lows since early June. Let’s see whether the stock can gather enough momentum to break through the key $14.02 level next week.

( click to enlarge )

Cesca Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:KOOL) broke out of a base consolidation pattern on Hourly, as the stock closed up 28 cents on high volume. I will be watching it Monday for a continuation of this breakout. The short-term trend is still bullish as the stock is still on top of all EMAs. Other good news, the MACD is perking up and the ADX is moving up. I think the stock has room to go higher. If the stock can break Friday’s high of $4.23, we should see a strong follow through move. Next resistance levels are $4.40 and then $6.50

( click to enlarge )

QUALCOMM, Inc.(NASDAQ:QCOM) is trading a very tight range and should make a move soon. The stock is developing a bull flag and the breakout should be a nice one if it can hold up. Keep an eye on QCOM as it is starting to tick up. The stock is in a bull market and should continue to go up as both 100 day and 200 day exp moving averages are heading up. At this stage it is definitely a wait and see if the resistance will be easily taken out by the bulls.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) From a technical standpoint, it looks like a bottom formation here. There are some signs of a possible bounce at this point due to oversold indicators and some positive divergences, which often leads to short covering. Let’s see whether the stock can gather enough momentum to break through the $38.30 level. I started a long position.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) is also recovering. Resistance is formed at 6.24 and a potential break should open the door for further gains to 7. I remain bullish for now, the 5.6/5.66 area should hold any weakness. Worth watching going forward.

( click to enlarge )

EnteroMedics Inc (NASDAQ:ETRM) is a penny stock to watch. The stock is catching the attention of market players after the Monday news. The company announced the publication of 24 month results from the Company's ReCharge Clinical Study. The article, titled "Two-Year Outcomes of Vagal Nerve Blocking (vBloc) for the Treatment of Obesity in the ReCharge Trial," was published in Obesity Surgery. The authors ofthis article noted that the safety profile of vBloc Therapy remained favorable at 24 months compared to complications observed with conventional bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. ETRM rallied +12.7% to close at 21c and traded massive volume action of 22M shares. Its technical daily chart shows some bullish signals as +DI is now going up and the MACD just crossed above the signal line. With this daily chart bull signal its very possible that we could see a continuation next week. Something must be up with this stock, but I urge you not to buy a significant portion of your trading capital, because this is a penny stock, so be careful with the position size.

( click to enlarge )

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) watch for a possible breakout of current consolidation (pennant formation).

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) could accelerate toward 47.43-47.62 zone if it breaks 46.80 resistance.

9 chart setups for the coming week

( click to enlarge )

Xerox Corp (NYSE:XRX) was up on Friday, after the company released good earnings. The stock was up $.52 on 3x normal daily volume, as it hit a high of $9.89. I will be watching XRX on Monday for a follow through move, using Friday’s high as resistance. The bias is bullish in nearest term. There is a lot of upside room in this stock, so watch it closely.

( click to enlarge )

Some signs of a reversal on price action mentioned on an earlier post did work out as I expected. The stock had a bullish move on Friday breaking several resistance lines and could eventually rally up to test the declining EMA50 in the next sessions. Checking on the indicators, the MACD is rising above the signal line and the RSI is constructing higher lows and higher highs, both suggesting further upside. Plus, The stock's accumulation/distribution line (A/D) remains in a strong up trend. KBH is displaying upside momentum and is poised to move higher from these levels.

( click to enlarge )

Cree, Inc. (NASDAQ:CREE) has a very interesting daily technical chart as the stock looks to be ready for a good upside move. CREE traded a good volume on Friday as it closed up $.98 on the day above the $28 level. All inidicators are still in Bullishs areas. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $28.10 (EMA200).

( click to enlarge )

Chimerix Inc (NASDAQ:CMRX) On Thursday, BlackRock reported it increased its stake to 6.5%. Institutions and insiders continue to buy/add shares at current levels, which means that sooner or later we should see a reversal up. I continue to hold my position in the stock as I believe there will be more share price appreciation in the coming days. Following the smart money usually pays off. Note: Last week the billionaire Steven Cohen also revealed a 6.4% stake.

( click to enlarge )

Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:INO) Looks like a V-bounce is underway. The stock surged more than 15 percent Friday accompanied by a strong volume expansion, closing above its EMA100 for the first time since December. The technical chart shows buyers are back. A move towards $7 can be expected as long as $6.12 holds.

( click to enlarge )

Apollo Education Group Inc (NASDAQ:APOL) is coming up to a big level, as the stock is near the $8 level. I will be watching this stock closely next week as I expect to see a strong move once the stock breaks through resistance. A move past $8.09 would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock. The technical daily chart show a continuation of the uptrend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. My model remains long, targeting $9 area. Rumors of takeover are emerging again.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) broke out of a bottom/accumulation pattern. Now we just need to see on Monday a confirmation of the reversal. Indicators are turning up.

( click to enlarge )

CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX) looks like it is starting to turn. On Friday, the stock price decisively broke through its downtrend-line by gaining nearly 17 per cent accompanied by heavy volume. From technical indicators, I continue to see a confluence of "BUYS", with RSI crossing above 50 and MACD heading up. The stock hit a high of $8.58, which is resistance for Monday’s follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is in the process of bottoming and I expect a pop above $7.16 at some point in the coming days. All technical indicators are giving some signs of downward exhaustion. The MACD has stabilized and the RSI is trying to turn higher. On Friday the company has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to more than double its existing share buyback program and repurchase up to 5.8 percent of its public float, not good news for short sellers. A strong short-covering rally should emerge sooner or later. Keep it on your watch list going forward.

8 stocks to keep an eye on January 20, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Baytex Energy Corp (NYSE:BTE) The stock price has given a trend line breakout on daily chart on closing basis, which confirms the bull trend in the short-term heading for immediate target of 17.14-18 levels. Plus, closed above the 20-day exponential moving average for the first day since September 2014, a good sign for the bulls. Oscillators like RSI and MACD too supports bullish momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRZO) The stock has been trading in a consolidation range last four weeks and finally witnessed a technical breakout on the daily chart, which confirms the bull trend in the prices. The RSI too indicating a break from the horizontal trendline, which adds to the short-term bullish view. Next major resistance lies at 48.73 (200EMA).

( click to enlarge )

Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVAX) stock has witnessed a major break above the horizontal resistance at 6.50 on closing basis, which confirms the bullish move ahead. Plus, the breakout volume was also high as you can see on the chart. Oscillators such as MACD is very bullish and indicates further uptrend. The long-term resistance is at $6.95 (February 2014).

( click to enlarge )

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) continues consolidating just above the 200-day EMA. The overall chart pattern for the stock remains bullish. As long as the stock stays above 4.70 horizontal support, we would stay away from short positions. Any retest of this level should be used to initiate longs.

( click to enlarge )

FireEye Inc (NASDAQ:FEYE) Looking at the technical chart above the stock bounced off the 100-day EMA of the recent bull move. CMF still positive, so my bias is Bullish. RSI is showing positive divergence. Short-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above this support.

( click to enlarge )

International Paper Co (NYSE:IP) A new buy signal was given yesterday. The stock broke the bullish flag formation on daily chart and i believe that the stock will continue to rally. Plus, MACD also crossed above the signal line. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) has broken out of a downtrend line that represented a pause in its October rally from 148.64 to 183.30. Plus, the technical indicator MACD also flashed a new buy signal. Watch for a possible move next into the 180 zone.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) History could repeat itself if the stock holds the $46 level in the coming days. Friday's close could have marked a bottom. This could be the start of a bounce like we had in February of 2014 and the extreme oversold conditions will also help. As i said on twitter, i went at 46.90.

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.

Stocks to Watch for April 25, 2014

( click to enlarge )

Body Central Corp (NASDAQ:BODY) looks ready to breakout after all their recent announcements. The stock has been picked up by some big firms and looks to make yesterdays rally much more powerful. Blackwood Capital Management has 900,000 shares or 5.4 percent of the stock and Lane Five Capital Management said recently that it acquired 500,000 additional shares, bringing its total investment to almost 1.25M shares or 7.5% of all shares outstanding. With a limited amount of shares available in the float (15M outstanding) and 88% owned by institutions, the short interest of 3,184,900 million shares is a high percentage of the float, nearly 20%. As a result, a possible short squeeze is also likely and could the stock up quickly through resistance, which might create a panic buying situation among traders. I feel that the stock is set up to make a bullish move today, don’t miss out. Stop 86c.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) I continue to support the idea of a significant rally, probably even above the March highs. The bulls remain in control as long as it continues consolidating its recent move. We still need to see a break above 48.77 or 200EMA to confirm a continuation to the upside with a next target in the 51 area. Only a break back below the 47.8 would invalidate this bullish outlook.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) is currently tracing out a possible bullish double bottom pattern. I would like to see significant volume show up and a strong close above its 50EMA to confirm a proper technical buy signal. This stock is still on my radar as I continue to believe that VHC has strong potential from technical as well fundamental point of views.

( click to enlarge )

RF Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:RFMD) had a strong move on Thursday, as the stock set new 52-week highs. The stock hit a high of $8.59, which is resistance for the follow through move. Charts on all time frames are bullish. You should watch this stock closely on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is gaining some momentum again. The technical daily chart shows possible new rally as %K line is back above %D line, while the MACD is also gaining strength. The stock needs to break out above $7.51 to go higher.

( click to enlarge )

Itau Unibanco Holding SA (NYSE:ITUB) broke out yesterday, after it has been consolidating the past few trading days. The stock moved up on heavy volume and should have a continuation move on Friday. If the stock can break through yesterday's high of $16.47, I am a buyer of the stock.

( click to enlarge )

American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) Looks like there were some nice buys coming in on Thursday so we might have a possible breakout play here, there is little resistance until $53.09. From the technical daily chart both MACD and RSI are showing bullish sign. Keep an eye on AIG.

Stocks to Watch for March 19, 2014

( click to enlarge )

Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (NYSE:XIN) looks ready to breakout here. If you look at its technical chart above, you will see a tight consolidation that has occurred this past two weeks. The upward pressure built up over the last few sessions is very good and I believe that the stock could pop any moment now above its 200-day exp moving average. The daily technical indicators are bullish as MACD momentum and histograms trend higher in positive territory and CMF is moving up.

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) had a nice bounce today on decent volume. This could be the start of a possible breakout move. If the stock can break through $3.64 tomorrow, buy the stock and watch it take off. Stop 3.38

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) made a strong run in the last hour of the day, closing at highs of $48.14. The stock price is forming a bullish MACD divergence on the daily chart that is certaintly a sign that price can go up.

( click to enlarge )

Molycorp Inc (NYSE:MCP) The trend is beginning to shift towards bullish. The stock closed slightly higher, as it hit a high of $5.14 on the day. Today’s high is resistance for a follow through move on Wednesday. Looking at the technical chart above MACD and ADX both signal positive strength. The stock still trading above 9-day and 20-day exp moving average, also a bullish sign.

( click to enlarge )

I mentioned Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) this morning (check this out) as a stock I was watching for an entry on and finally today it broke the cup and handle pattern with the money flow creeping up. Keep a close eye on the stock tomorrow for the follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) continues to consolidate below the $80 level but with $77 support intact. Further rally is still in favor as long as the minor support holds.

Stocks to Watch for January 6, 2014

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Vringo (NASDAQ: VRNG) surged 7.22% on Friday to 3.12 after a court in Virginia ruled in its favor against Google, AOL Inc. and others . On the technical side, the chart above now shows more positive sign, as the stock price is now back to uptrend with %K line rising on top over %D line and MACD shows a bullish cross. This could be probably a good time, to start accumulating the stock. Watch for possible gapper on Monday.


( click to enlarge )

Is China Techfaith Wireless Comm. Tech. Ltd (NASDAQ:CNTF) on your Radar ? It Better Be !! As can be seen by the technical chart above, the stock price has been making higher highs and higher lows on daily charts after bottoming in early August. The stock price broke out of a small flag consolidation yesterday and looks perfectly placed to move towards $2 again. Momentum indicators suggest that bias is still to the upside and AC/DT line shows that the stock has been under strong accumulation. Take a look at the technical chart above and you can see the recent spikes on heavy volume. In addition, the company has strong fundamentals and an attractive buying price. Stop 1.33 ( 200EMA which has been supporting the uptrend so far since August). My first tartget is 2.25-2.30

( click to enlarge )

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) continued its bullish momentum yesterday, topped at 17.96 and closed at 17.89. I definitely like the way its trading at this moment and at some point I think the stock price will leap over $18. Do not forget about the potential of this company after the recent positive news. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

YY Inc (NASDAQ:YY) Stock price broke out of a three-month consolidation period on heavy volume, making a new all-time high over 58. From a technical standpoint the MACD generated a buy signal last week, plus the RSI turned upward. The stock looks good for more.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is looking pretty good now after breaking out of a small bull flag pattern to the upside on expanding volume. The MACD is positive and above its signal line and the RSI is also rising. Watchout for upcoming resistance at 53.68.

( click to enlarge )

Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) Short-term bullish bias continues, ready to break 71 next week ? The stock price had a significant bullish momentum last week, closing Friday above 67 on solid volume. As you can see on my hourly chart, price seems ready to test a key short-term resistance level at 71. A clear daily close above that level could trigger further bullish scenario testing 73.60, 73.75 even 74.73. On the downside, only a daily close back below 66 area could be a threat to the current short-term bullish trend, testing 65 area or lower. Have no position, just watching.

( click to enlarge )

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BRCD) is close to attempting another breakout. This strength is confirmed by price movement as well as momentum indicators. Fresh exposures may be considered on a move past $9.03, with a stop-loss at $8.44.

( click to enlarge )

JDS Uniphase Corp (NASDAQ:JDSU) Stock price has recaptured the 50-day exp moving average with a very nice reversal candle. Look for follow-through on Monday with increasing volume to confirm Friday's move.

( click to enlarge )

WidePoint Corporation (NYSEMKT:WYY) had a healthy pullback last week. Friday's rally could be the start of the next bull trend. I'm still holding my long position.

( click to enlarge )

Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX) Finally broke out from a flag pattern on the daily chart. Buy on the break of the today's candle high at 53.64 or wait for a pull back.
