Some stocks worth watching next week, trading rules and a BIG THANK YOU

( click to enlarge )

NII Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: NIHD) jumped $1.10, or 16.92%, to $7.6 on Friday, breaking out above its upper line of the sideways trend and a mid-term horizontal resistance zone on volume, sending a new buy signal. The measured price target of this breakout is at 9-9.20 range. Daily technical indicators are in bullish zones with all exponential moving averages rising. A continuation of the rally is likely.

Evofem Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ: EVFM) Do you remember this symbol? We made a lot of money in the summer, when the stock rose from $2.30 to $4.96 in just few trading sessions. Since then the share price has been consolidating that move within a large bull flag pattern, which was broken in the final hour on Friday. Although technical analysis doesn't predict the future of a stock, studying previous price history and patterns can often help to determine what a stock may do in the future. In the case of EVFM this bull flag pattern is probably the most bullish chart pattern you can trade, because it occurs when a stock is in a strong uptrend. Daily technical indicators are also predicting a new strong move higher, with the RSI indicator rising while the MACD is cutting above its signal line. Over $4 it could make another explosive move upwards, so keep your eyes on it and watch it trade. My system gave a new buy alert and i entered long on Friday.

Hope you all enjoyed a great bounce on Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE: EMES) last week. I mentioned on blog as a potential bounce play, and BANG !!!! "We could see a 30-50% possible bounce up to $3.25 - $3.5 a share" A huge congratulations to all those who profited from last week idea. The stock rallied for over 50% potential gains on Friday session. I took profits but i will keep EMES on my watchlist for a possible re-entry. The next key resistance is located at 3.89 (declining EMA50).

Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ: ALT) is another serious potential big runner next week. The stock has been witnessing increasing buying pressure for several consecutive trading sessions, with the accumulation line rising. I believe that the bullish accumulation witnessed over the last weeks is a prelude to what traders could see very soon. Daily technical indicators are looking bullish. MACD is rising above its signal line in negative zone. ALT's chart suggest that increased buy side activity could push share prices to much higher levels.

( click to enlarge )

Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corp (NASDAQ: ADMP) is recovering from its recent bottom with MACD Hist showing a positive divergence. It looks like the stock wants to breakout of this falling wedge pattern, but has not been able to gain the needed momentum. You should keep this stock on your screen radar next week.

( click to enlarge )

Acacia Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACIA) Broke out yesterday on heavy volume and looks ready to test the highs.

( click to enlarge )

CorMedix Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: CRMD) bounced strongly again from its long-term trend line on volume, which suggest a continuation of the current uptrend. As long as this trend line holds and the $1 level is intact we could see a bullish trend intact.

( click to enlarge )

Vaxart Inc (NASDAQ: VXRT) I still think this stock looks set to break higher. With flu season coming up, it could go to $4-$4.85 on a sharp rally. Chart looks very interesting here.

( click to enlarge )

AcelRx Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ: ACRX) broke out yesterday but didn't hold the strong gains above the breakout zone and closed at 4.80. Watching action closely up here. We need a close above 5.05 to see further gains. Buyable on a pullback to 4.25 imho

( click to enlarge )

Affimed NV (NASDAQ: AFMD) broke the falling wedge pattern last week. The volume confirmed the breakout as it was greater than average. Setting up for higher prices. Technically, dips should be bought. Next key resistance level lies at 4.64

I decided to share you all followers again my basic trading rules that should be taken always in consideration for trading in order to become a successful trader in the stock market. 

1 - The trend is your friend, so never go against the trend. 
2 - Keep your losses small. Golden rule: Cut losses short. Let profits run. 
3 - Use stops. The stop loss should be placed few cents below the supports and not at the same level. 4 - Learn the basics of fundamentals, charts and technical indicators. 
5 - The good trader is one who makes consistent gains, so don’t be a greedy trader, appreciate the small and the big gains. 
6 - Do not fear the market. Be always confident in your trade decisions. 
7 - Never buy what you do not want, because you think it is cheap. 
8 - Always be conscious that the loss may arise and you should be prepared for that to happen. Open mind. 
9 - For large positions, you must to have total control of the market never losing sight 
10 - Volume is a leading indicator, so play the breakouts using the volume as support of your decision. 
11 - Chart breaks without volume could be a trap and the probabilities of succeeding are low 
12 - Do not be hasty to buy or sell a stock, every day there are new opportunities to make money. Be patient is the key of success of any trader. 
13 - Only believe fundamentals as long as the technical signals follow. 
14 - Trading very speculative stocks is a frequent mistake. 
15 - Do not trade positions too large relative to your available capital. 
16 - Do not invest all your money in one company. Your portfolio must be diversified. 
17 - The Greed to pick tops or bottoms is a usual error. Wait for the perfect and confirmed signal. 
18 - Do not make trading decisions based on a story you saw in the morning paper. The market many times has already discounted the information. 
19 - Review your missteps to improve your skills 

As i always say, with patience and discipline, you can take much more from the stock market than you ever gave. Trading stocks is not easy for beginners or professionals, it is really very hard and requires lot of attention and knowledge. If stock trading was easy, everyone would be doing it. You can be successful at the stock market, with patience, discipline and a good trade set-up. The key objective is to make money and not lose it.

Some stocks worth watching next week

( click to enlarge )

Viking Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: VKTX) jumped 99 cents, or 7.44% yesterday, breaking key resistance at 13.76 as well as the upper line of descending channel. Friday's action suggests we could see continuation of the trend in the next couple of days toward the next resistance level around the 15.5 area.

( click to enlarge )

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) Friday's hammer candle suggests a possible short-term bounce imho to $40's. Positive divergences showing up on indicators also confirm that we'll see some upside movement very soon. Obviously the trend is clearly down right now, but finding the right spot to get in before the bounce can be a lucrative move. I entered again before the close. Lets see what next week will bring us.

( click to enlarge )

Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE: EMES) has found support around the $2.22-$2.30 range and looks poised to post a significant bounce from here. It is very oversold and I think the next rally could be a sustainable one for at least the short term. This was a stock that was trading at over $10 a share in January. The high volume on Friday in a RED tape could signal that investors believe the stock is extremely undervalued at current levels or shorts are covering. We could see a 30-50% possible bounce up to $3.25 - $3.5 a share if it can get passed the resistance at $2.52

( click to enlarge )

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) is hitting a major support with a very oversold RSI. I think the risk of continued downside at current levels, while obviously present, is a lot less than the possibility of a sharp oversold rally or bounce. I believe there is profit potential from these prices. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

InspireMD Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: NSPR) I still think this stock will post a sharp rally from current levels. This was a $1 stock in June and at $.25, in my opinion, and also based on the accumulation line (still rising: under accumulation) there is a compelling risk/reward scenario. Honestly, NSPR is in the midst of that dramatic bounce, one that could see it hit $.48 or more a share in short-term. Note: low-priced "penny stocks" is always risky, so be careful with the size.

( click to enlarge )

Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTIE) the chart looks great again for this stock and I think its poised to hit $1.44/1.5 short-term as the selling has abated and the new uptrend should bring new interest into the stock.

( click to enlarge )

With a conference scheduled for next week Biocept Inc (NASDAQ: BIOC) is a stock I think deserves some watching over the coming sessions for a potential short-term reversal.

( click to enlarge )

ENDRA Life Sciences Inc (NASDAQ: NDRA) The last few days has seen increased volume and price. This is worth watching and possibly stepping in for a trade at some point. This stock has been flying under the radar of many traders and deserves a look going forward.

( click to enlarge )

Proteostasis Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: PTI) Good long setup, if it takes out the 6.3-6.45 zone on volume next week.

( click to enlarge )

NII Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: NIHD) appears ready for a breakout above key resistance at 6.44 area. If breakout occurs, I expect to see the NIHD move toward the 7-7.2 area.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) looks like a great bottom type play. Technical chart is displaying several positive divergences. I think RMBS will post a nice rally from here and deserves being added to your watchlist.

My Watchlist for Friday, October 21

( click to enlarge )

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is trading higher after hours, as the company released very good earnings. Following the news, shares of the company skyrocketed, sending Microsoft to new highs. Blue skies on charts.

( click to enlarge )

Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE:EMES) Nice runner from the twitter buy list today. After few weeks of consolidation the stock finally broke out and took out its critical level of $14.60. The break of this key resistance line confirms a medium-term trend reversal and the beginning of new momentum, which could move the stock above the $18 area. Use the rising EMA50 as stop.

( click to enlarge )

United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) For what it's worth, the stock cleared this key downtrend line on increased volumes. The bounce from the 200-day EMA makes it more authentic. The MACD is rising and the RSI is moving up showing renewed strength. Ready for higher prices. Stop 17

( click to enlarge )

JD Com Inc (NASDAQ:JD) has been basing for over a week under resistance near $27. If the stock clears resistance the move may be powerful.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) had a very productive day as we saw gains of nearly 12% on volume above average and I believe the stock has more room to run. We also saw unusual bullish options activity. A breakout over $6.15 with strong volume would send this flying. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

ProNAi Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:DNAI) is another stock I am watching very closely. I accumulated a lot of shares at current levels (1.92-1.82) and will continue to do so. If it clears resistance (declining EMA50) on volume, the move may be powerful. Despite recent decline, the strong cash position (130M or >$4 per share) supports my bulish/argument at this point.

( click to enlarge )

Alere Inc (NYSE:ALR) may be ready to break out of this large sideways consolidation. Potential swing long above 44.35

Stocks to Watch for October 02, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Nice breakout on Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) with decent volume. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and RSI rising. Look for a quick run to $107.5 then on to $110

( click to enlarge )

XOMA Corp (NASDAQ:XOMA) was one of the big winners on Thursday with a trading volume of 17M shares. Xoma reported that has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Novartis to develop and commercialize its cancer-fighting antibody program. The company will receive an upfront payment of $37 million and could receive up to $480 million in milestone payments. From a technical standpoint, broke out of a base pattern in heavy volume, finishing with a 43% gain. Other technical indicator such as MACD, is moving up showing positive momentum while RSI also show buy signal. Wall Street analysts are reacting positively to the announcement, increasing their price targets on the stock. The stock could eventually rally up to test the 1.50 resistance zone very soon.

( click to enlarge )

Juno Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:JUNO) has a very interesting daily technical chart and could have a bigger move soon. Resistance for this move is $41.95. The chart looks slightly bullish as the stock is trading above 20-day exp moving average and the 13-day EMA crossed above 20-day EMA recently. Worth watching for a breakout.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) had a huge rally over the past several days on heavy volume. The stock is displaying a strong upside momentum again. Nearest resistance for the stock is the psychological level of $12. If this level is crossed and the stock is able to sustain above this level, then it might go to $12.67 (50EMA). On the downside, the stock has support at $11.44. The technical daily chart is showing a bullish bias. Watch the stock closely on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

Lakeland Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:LKFN) recorded a new high in the last trading session. The stock topped at 46.3 and closed at 46.2, up 2.33% on volume above the average . The technical daily chart show a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. Pullbacks to 44.5 are buyable.


( click to enlarge )

Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE:EMES) Tried to move higher on Thursday but failed to keep the momentum up due to the market weakness. However, i think the selling momentum is losing steam and it is possible that the stock could attempt a new rally today due to the extreme oversodl readings. If it breaks yesterday's high, could squeeze above $8 fast.

( click to enlarge )

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is on High alert for Friday. The company reported earnings on thursday and the market loved what they saw. They beat the analysts estimate. Key resistance is located at 16.96 (50EMA). A close above this level will confirm a new bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 19.56-20.24 zone.

Stocks to Watch for October 01, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Ascena Retail Group Inc (NASDAQ:ASNA) Setting up a possible resistance breakout trade. Go long on the break of Wednesday’s high at 14.06

( click to enlarge )

Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE:EMES) I think in the short-term the stock will bounce nicely off this bottom. Looking to see if stock can get over $7 for nice bounce into 10's

( click to enlarge )

Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:TTPH) is a stock that deserves some watching over the coming sessions, for a potential short-term reversal. MACD crossover and Sto could help it get into 10's again. I'm holding my shares for now, as the stock is now trading near cash levels. Debt free companies trading near cash levels (They have $6.69 per share or 242M) present a valuable upside for investors.

( click to enlarge )

ConforMIS Inc (NASDAQ:CFMS) is consolidating nicely between 17/19. Worth watching for a breakout. Stop 16.72

( click to enlarge )

Talmer Bancorp Inc (NASDAQ:TLMR) Another one with a nice look. Resistance Breakout. Go long on the break of Wednesday’s high at 16.72
