Stocks to Watch for May 13, 2013

( click to enlarge )

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

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.

Potential bullish setups to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) ended the day 6.51% higher at $5.89 on above average volume of 1.29 million after touching an intra-day high of $5.90. It broke through the $5.82 resistance and looks poised to make new highs this year. From the technical chart, the MACD and RSI both signal positive strength. The accumulation/distribution line also confirms buying pressure. The stock is trading above both 50-day and 200-day SMA and 50-day SMA is on top of 200-day SMA heading upwards. In my view, we could see $6.2- $6.27 in the next trading sessions. 

( click to enlarge )

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) The stock made a turnaround by the $30 support area, which contains the 200-day SMA, so I expect to see a new surge towards the 20-day SMA with a daily close above  to confirm a possible new uptrend. Stop 29.86

( click to enlarge )

Popular Inc (NASDAQ:BPOP) Nice rally on volume today, next buy area when clears $29.05 on volume.

( click to enlarge )

Zynga Inc (NASDAQ:ZNGA) Keep on watch, if it breaks 3.63, should make a good long imho. The stock is still trading above both 50-day and 200-day moving average showing strength.

( click to enlarge )

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) had a nice follow through day after breaking this "long falling wedge", next buy area when it clears the 50-day SMA on volume, needs a consolidation / pullback here.

( click to enlarge )

Eagle Materials, Inc. (NYSE:EXP) Watch for this one to go higher. The stock had good volume and a big bullish engulfing candlestick pattern today.

( click to enlarge )

Joe's Jeans Inc (NASDAQ:JOEZ) is looking like a good solid setup. Next buy add area when clears 1.88 on heavy volume.

Thursday March 21th watchlist

( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) pulled back to the 200-day SMA but is still in an uptrend. If it holds this key support level it may start a new leg up.  Only a drop below $15 on a close basis would negate the positive outlook for Crocs shares. Existing holders may remain invested with a stop loss at $14.46. On the other hand, any close above $15.75 would have major positive implications from a short-term perspective.

Watch carefully this potential double bottom pattern in Bazaarvoice Inc (NASDAQ:BV). The pattern needs to confirm by breaking above the $8.09 resistance. If that break occurs, BV's stock should be ripe for a long trade. All technicals are bullish and the short term outlook continues to look bullish. Stop 6.37

( click to enlarge )

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC needs to hold 45 level on the downside or things could get ugly. On the upside, the stock has resistance located betwen 48 and 48.67. Technical indicators have corrected from overbought conditions recently, but have not turned bearish yet. The MACD is falling towards its signal line in positive territory and the RSI has slipped down from its overbought zone.

Eagle Materials, Inc. (NYSE:EXP) Flagging for a move higher. Watch for a break over 72.31 with volume

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEAMEX:VHC) is trying to bottom. Look for a move above $23.41 to get involved on long side. If not, stop out below $21.68.

Some possible break out candidates

( click to enlarge )

Ebix Inc (NASDAQ:EBIX) looks like it wants to break out from a base formation. The daily technical chart shows good signs, we're in a short term upward trend with the MACD positive/rising and with CMF rising nicely too. 


From a fundamental standpoint the stock has a PE of 9 and a PEG of just 0.46. The short interest is about 36.30% of the float and it's supposed to take about 32 days to cover it, so a Huge squeeze is also possible. Keep EBIX on your radar screens.

( click to enlarge )

Pharmacyclics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCYC) has been consolidating in the range of 67.5-72 from past few sessions on low volume forming a bull flag pattern on the daily chart. Fresh long should be made only when the stock closes above $72 with an up candle.

( click to enlarge )

Two Harbors Investment Corp (NYSE:TWO) looks poised for a break to the upside. Waiting for a break above the 12.55 level for a long position. Price will continue to move up as long as it sustains above the 20-day EMA.

( click to enlarge )

Eagle Materials, Inc.(NYSE:EXP) is building an optimistic pattern under resistance at $67, watch the stock closely here for a break through that price level as a cue that the stock wants to go higher. Initial support at $64.50

Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) has consolidated sideways for the past several sessions. Breakout watch over $79
