Stocks to keep an eye on May 13, 2015

Chanticleer Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:HOTR) broke out and traded nearly 6x normal daily volume. Today's heavy volume was what you want to see when a stock breaks resistance. It has the potential to make a big run on Wednesday, so keep a close eye on HOTR and don’t miss the trade. Momentum indicators are bullish now with RSI inching away above the middle level. The strongest sign of a bullish momentum is the MACD which has just started to increase. The accumulation/distribuation indicator is also showing positive signs on the stock. Today’s high was $3.19, which is resistance for the follow through move.

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) After being trading in a bearish tone since December 2014 the stock appears to making a comeback in favor of the bulls. It has recovered nicely and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if price breaks through the resistance level at 80c (50EMA). Technical indicators are becoming more favorable with MACD and RSI starting to turn up. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch DRYS closely tomorrow.

As I've mentioned earlier, Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE:OAS) has shown increased trading activity and signs of being under accumulation. I believe that shares have room for a significant uptick beyond these levels. Technically, it is setting up to move higher again and could break its 100-day EMA this week, something that could attract more investor/traders to jump in and push shares even higher. On watch.

Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) is trading higher after hours, as the company released good earnings. We might see a strong gap up tomorrow.

VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE:EGY) Starting to look strong again. Any close above $2.35 (20EMA) could lead to a substantial gain in shares.

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) continued its bullish momentum on today closing the session with a gain of 3% at $2.63. Immediate resistance remains around 2.75. A clear break above that area could trigger further bullish pressure testing the recent highs. Momentum indicators also point to continuation of positive bias.

Stocks to keep an eye on May 01, 2015

Altera Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTR) closed up on Thursday at $42.25 and it appears ready to make another big run. First possible target price for this stock is at $44.05 and have to see from there. The rumor of a takeover of Altera by Intel starts over again.

VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE:EGY) may be forming a bottom after being in a downtrend for weeks. Nice break out today with a volume increase. If this technical daily chart does what is supposed to do, it will be going higher in the days to come, plenty of room to upside. From a technical standpoint, the stock is now in a short-term Bull Market with share price above 9 & 13 daily exponential moving averages. Let's see if tomorrow the stock will confirm the breakout. Initial target 2.94

In line with my anticipation, Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc (NYSEMKT:HEB) confirmed today the reversal when it broke above the $.26 level. The daily technical chart is bullish with a lot of hot indicators showing up. The slope of the recent upward move is very steep accompanied by increasing volume. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here, so keep it on the radar. In addition, the top executives such as CEO and CFO are bullish of the company this year as they have purchased total of almost 600,000 shares in April, which is an unusual insider activity.

Volume was good today and the trading action was encouraging. Traders bought the dip several times near the $4.25 level. Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) is starting to turn back up and technical indicators are giving the first bullish signs. The Stochastic Oscillator is registering a bullish signal as the %K has crossed above the %D and the RSI indicator is rising slowly but has not reached the 50% level. The stock has the following important levels. Resistance at $4.52 and support at $4.67

Moody's has changed today Alcoa Inc.'s outlook to positive from stable. I believe that shares of Alcoa Inc (NYSE:AA) have room for a significant uptick beyond these levels. The stock is setting up to move higher and could break the $13.82 mark and its 50-day exponential moving average very soon, something that could attract more traders to jump in and push shares even higher.
