Stocks to Watch for October 03, 2014

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Skullcandy Inc (NASDAQ:SKUL) which had been flagging since mid-August off its upmove from the 6.67 area to around 8.45, broke out of the bull flag pattern today with decent volume. Target price IMHO for this stock is near 10. The chart is now much improved after today’s action. The MACD has reversed again the course and stock closed above its 20-day exp moving average. If the stock can break today’s high of $8.15, we should see a strong follow through move. SKUL will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARIA) jumped over 10% today to close at $5.85 after the company announced that its experimental lung cancer drug received a breakthrough therapy designation from the FDA. The stock ended the day trading nearly 20 million shares and closed near the highs of the day. I would not be surprised to see this stock over $6.5 in the next few days.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) made an impressive turnaround and rallied more than 8% to close the day at $11.18. Resistance for Friday’s move is $11.38, which reflects Thursday’s high of the day. If the stock can break through resistance we'll have a two-bar reversal, which is bullish for an upside move. Keep a close eye on GTAT for Friday.

( click to enlarge )

Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is again setting up for a potential swing trade. Breakout point at 56

( click to enlarge )

PVH Corp (NYSE:PVH) has fully filled the gap and started going up again. Watch the $122.61 level as potential resistance. Let's keep an eye on PVH as i think momentum will pick up.

Stocks to Watch for September 23, 2014

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) displayed some impressive relative strength today. It may be ready to break out of this flag consolidation. Note: Earnings on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) has had a rough time over the past sessions, but today’s bounce could be the first move to recovery. I'm using $12 as resistance for this upside move. If the stock can break through this level we should see a reversal of this down trend.

( click to enlarge )

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) Trajectories of momentum indicators point to the continuation of downside bias for the stock. The downside move is more likely to continue untill 195.

( click to enlarge )

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is moving sideways in a narrow range with a slight bias to the downside by slipping below the 20-day EMA. Key indicators on daily charts suggest continuation of weakness. The stock is likely to test immediate support at 34.23.

There is a potential breakout scenario developing on the daily chart of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO). Buy signal: When stock breaks $42.35

Stocks to Watch for March 17, 2014

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) If support in the range of 15.9 to 16.06 holds then the stock should target a retest 17.05 and then possibly 18. However, if it fails then deeper consolidations cannot be ruled out. Although price of the stock is in a clear strong uptrend, the momentum indicators in the chart above are showing signs of weakness. Both stochastic analysis and MACD charts are flashing a bearish outlook for short-term perspective. Traders with short-term perspective can hold the stock as long as it trades above its uptrending 13-day exponential moving average.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is basing between its major exp moving averages and another trip to the recent highs can not be ruled out. I believe the analyst meeting on Wednesday could be a positive catalyst for First Solar shares.

( click to enlarge )

Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSEMKT:CUR) The stock price finally broke out of the upper line of the triangle pattern, on impressive increasing volume and closed above the line. All indicators are in favor of an upward price movement.

( click to enlarge )

Biodel Inc (NASDAQ:BIOD) is basing here for another move up IMHO. If next week support holds at or above 3.07 (200EMA) then the stock should move further upwards to retest 3.71 and then possibly towards 4.12. My immediate outlook stays bullish. The technical daily chart above shows it's about the time to buy the stock, as 50EMA is about to cross on top over 200EMA to form Golden Cross, a very bullish signal.

( click to enlarge )

Alphatec Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:ATEC) After being trading in a bearish tone for some time the stock appears to making a comeback in favor of the bulls. ATEC has already started its bounce back up and looks poised to break resistance at $1.48. d I think the stock could see $1.75 or better in short-term. This stock is held by major institutions including Paradigm Capital Management, Blackrock, etc.

( click to enlarge )

Nuance Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) has finally closed above its 100-day exponential moving average currently placed around levels of $15.73 and it did so on heavy volume. The MACD indicator has just started to increase and the On Balance Volume is also showing positive signs on the stock. Stock price is expected to at least rally the next resistance at $16.88 and even go higher to test the next resistance level at $17.52.

( click to enlarge )

Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (NASDAQ:SIAL) shares may be in a consolidation phase following a nice up-trend. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $96.63.

Stocks to Watch for June 17, 2013

( click to enlarge )
Avago Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:AVGO) is nearing a key resistance level in the 38 area that has contained prices on three occasions in the last weeks. Considering the strong momentum this week on decent volume, I think AVGO looks set to break higher and rise above its 52 week high of 38.27. The support level is located at 36 followed by 35.62. Keep this stock in your radar list.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) broke major support today at 3.94, targeting the next major support in the 3.45-3.40 range. Technicals are bearish now.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is approaching a key support level at the 50-day exp. moving average of 48.86. A breach of this important support level could lead to more downside. Technical indicators are turning bearish. The MACD is positive but falling below its signal line and the relative strength indicator has slipped below its 50% level.

( click to enlarge )

Yelp Inc (NYSE:YELP) broke resistance at 30 on volume slightly above average. All three EMA's are rising and the stock is trading above them. MACD is about to cross above signal line. The bulls are clearly regaining control. Watch the $32 as potential resistance.

( click to enlarge )

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) gave a pocket pivot buy point today, rising in higher volume. From a technical standpoint, technical indicators are beginning to turn bullish. The MACD has crossed above its signal line and the RSI has moved above its 50% level.  Watch for a good follow through day next week. 

( click to enlarge )

Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) There is a possible small head and shoulders developing on daily, neckline 12.87. Price above 13.55 invalidates this pattern. Technical indicators are beginning to look bearish. The MACD has crossed below its signal line in positive territory and the RSI is slightly below its 50% level.

Stocks to Watch for May 16, 2013


( click to enlarge )

Shares of Lifelock Inc (NYSE:LOCK) are starting to heat up again and are worth watching. If volume can pick up I think this stock can break through resistance at $10 and re-test its recent highs around 10.2

( click to enlarge )

Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB) has been consolidating a pretty tight range above the 200-day exponential moving average. Volume is starting to build and it may attempt to break out over recent highs. Let's keep an eye on her.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) If the stock can break out above 4.24 with heavy volume, I think GTAT could shoot up to test 4.56 level. There looks to be good upside potential, so watch the stock very closely on Thursday.

( click to enlarge )

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) closed at 14.67 an increase by 40 cents or 2.8%. During today's trading session, the stock recorded a new 52-week high at 14.77 with a trading volume of 56 million shares. This looks to be a good breakout, so watch the stock very closely over the next few trading sessions.

( click to enlarge )

Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:AVT) had a great day on Wednesday. $33.94 is the next resistance level.

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is looking pretty bearish. If the weakness continues and the stock breaks the support at $416, there will be a good chance that the stock will test the next support level at $390 on a pessimistic scenario.

Stocks to Watch for May 9, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE:LVLT) is in a clear short-term uptrend and well above its 200EMA, but the recent surge may spur some profit taking. The stock needs to break Wednesday’s high of $24.76 to expect a strong rally at this point.

( click to enlarge )

Keep a close eye on Scorpio Tankers Inc. (NYSE:STNG). The stock tried to clear the resistance but failed again, watch for the break on heavy volume.

( click to enlarge )

LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) The stock price is approaching the support level again. If the stock makes a confirmed break below the 50EMA without a price recovery, this might suggest that LNKD is set up for a medium term correction. Technicals indicators are looking bearish to me. The MACD is positive but falling below its signal line. The Relative Strength Index indicator (RSI) is trying to regain its 50% level, after dropping below it. In addition, the slow stochastic is below its 30% level. 

( click to enlarge )

VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ:VVUS) had a strong day and broke through its resistance line of one week correction. The volume confirmed the breakout, as it was greater than average. Look for VVUS to test the prior highs of February.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) The stock price continues to gain momentum. I definitely like the way its trading and at some point I think it will leap over $4 again.

( click to enlarge )

The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) Flagging. Watch the break of 15.82

( click to enlarge )

There is a potential breakout scenario developing on the daily chart of Lorillard Inc. (NYSE:LO). Buy signal : When stock breaks $43.39

Good looking charts for May 6, 2013

( click to enlarge )

I have been following Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) for the past weeks and this might be a rewarding stock if a break out happens. The technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD is positive and above its signal line. The RSI is above its neutrality area at 50 and the CMF is rising and about to cross zero, for the first time since February. We can also see that the 20EMA has crossed over the 50EMA in April and the stock is now flagging above its 9EMA. At this point, there are still plenty of "Bears" who do not believe in this rally. In my opinion, it appears that the big money is about to dive into the long side, as the technicals indicate that BBRY is poised to move higher, possibly a lot higher due to the high short interest. As long as the stock does not go below the 20EMA or around 15 price level, this stock is a good candidate to BUY, considering the possible flag pattern. Keep the stock in your radar. 

( click to enlarge )

Silicon Image, Inc.(NASDAQ:SIMG) broke out to new highs last week on 2x the daily avg. volume, which is very positive. I want to see more follow through from this stock next week. Looks good for higher prices.

( click to enlarge )

GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) seems to be a promising stock to follow. After Friday's 4.63% jump to $3.84 per share, the technical chart is still showing the same trend as stock is still on top of 20-day and 50-day exponential moving average with MACD on top of signal line. In addition, OBV is confirming the strong uptrend. If we see follow-through Monday, it might run hard.

( click to enlarge )

Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR) displayed some impressive relative strength with a 12.73% gain. After consolidating in between the 11.99 resistance and the 10 support for over seven weeks, the stock finally broke out from its consolidation on expanding volume and marked a new 52 week high of 12.75. Looks good for higher prices. 

( click to enlarge )

FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) The 5- 5.1 area is a critical resistance region that can determine overall bias for the stock in short-term. Fundamentals are strong are technicals are improving, holding the 50EMA, all positive. Keep on watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Shares of American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) broke out to new highs for the year accompained by a strong volume suggesting higher levels. The stock hit a high of 44.9 which is now resistance for Monday’s follow through move.

Friday January 25th watchlist

( click to enlarge )
The chart of Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE:VG) looks great as it continues to trade within a large ascending triangle pattern with resistance at 2.55. That resistance level is the area to watch closely and breakout above is a strong buy signal.
( click to enlarge )
Shares of GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) closed above its 50-day moving average for the first time since September 2012, a strong bullish sign that puts the next stage of resistance at $3.56. On the technical chart, we can see a few things going on here. First, the MACD continues to trend higher near to cross above 0. Also, stochastics are indicating a trend reversal to the upside. Last, and definitely not least, the RSI back above the 50 centre line. You should keep this stock on your screen radar. 

( click to enlarge )

Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) has been in a range over the past two weeks. The stock looks like it wants to breakout of this range, but has not been able to gain the needed momentum. Today’s high of $78.75 is the top of this range, which makes it resistance for the breakout move. You should keep this stock on your screen radar.

( click to enlarge )

Apollo Group Inc (NASDAQ:APOL) looks to be breaking out, as the stock closed up 52 cents on Thursday. APOL looks to have bounced off lows earlier this month as it gains upside momentum. You need to watch it closely and be ready for this upside move.

( click to enlarge )

MELA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:MELA) has pulled back into support and may offer some value here.

( click to enlarge )

Leucadia National Corp. (NYSE:LUK)  finally broke out and made a nice move today. I'll be watching the stock for a continuation move on Friday. LUK has good upside potential, so keep watching the stock for further moves.

Wednesday January 23rd watchlist


( click to enlarge )
Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE:LNC) remains poised for breakout to the upside. This sideways consolidation has formed an ascending triangle pattern, which is generally very bullish. A push above $28.38 would be a solid buy signal for traders. Both RSI & MACD are bullish with RSI near overbought region. Currently prices are supported by 13/20 days MAs.

( click to enlarge )
James River Coal Company (NASDAQ:JRCC) perfect follow through day. The technical indicators are turning up from oversold levels and the MACD looks likely to form its own crossover suggesting that the stock price is about to move higher.

( click to enlarge )
First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) Daily close above the white downtrend line and above its 20-day SMA ($31.32) on solid volume. CMF turned up, along with RSI and Slow Stochastic. Looks good to go here.

( click to enlarge )
The rally in Verint Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNT) is losing some steam. VRNT has been very overbought and is poised for a correction. I would wait for the stock to fill the gap near $32 before considering new bullish positions.
( click to enlarge )
GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) is setting up for a possible break above its 50-day moving average, which based on the chart could send the stock up like a rocket. The short interest in this company is almost 31% of the company's float ! Chart on Breakout Watch !!

( click to enlarge )

As shown in the chart above, VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEAMEX:VHC) stock price crossed and closed above 9d&50d SMAs today on volume uptrend. Looks like more upside on the way. I'll use a stop loss at $31.94. My short-term target is $35.
