Stocks to keep an eye on February 20, 2015

( click to enlarge )

This stock is part of my portfolio and I intend to stay with it. We are on the verge of a possible range breakout in the shares of VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC). The breakout could happen any day. The technical chart above shows very bullish sign as the stock is on top of short-term EMAs with 20-day EMA also on top of 50-day EMA. In addition, MACD remains bullish while ADX is gaining momentum and is starting to signal the beginning of a trending change. Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also moving higher, which is a sign of growing strength in the stock. Still holding my long position. If it breaks the trading range, $10 is the first target.

ITT Educational Services, Inc.(NYSE:ESI) The new bullish trend looks good. Key resistance is located at 8.55 (DT), a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 10.85/11 zone. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and RSI rising.

( click to enlarge )

DARA Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:DARA) is a bottom play trying to make a shift in trend. From a technical perspective, the stock shows a bullish divergence on MACD. To return to rally mode, the stock price needs to cross its short-term resistance at 86c. A move above this level would be positive for the stock. A reversal above 86 will take the stock higher to $1 or $1.05.

( click to enlarge )

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) Broke out today on decent volume. Look for follow through tomorrow. Today’s high was $79,84, which is resistance for the continuation move on Friday. MACD is now positive and above the signal line. RSI is moving up and above its 50% level.

( click to enlarge )

eBay Inc (NASDAQ:EBAY) is strong and getting stronger every day it seems. If the stock can close above $57.94 tomorrow, then expect more upside. If this happens, EBAY is a good play. As long as the stock stays above the 9-day EMA, the short-term bullish scenario still intact. Technical chart shows very strong bullish sign. MACD indicator is rising above zero, indicating a buy.

Shares of Hologic, Inc.(NASDAQ:HOLX) today broke out of a bullish consolidation pattern that has been a pause in its steep, more than 23% up move in January. If the stock can break today’s high of $31.80, we should see a strong follow through move. HOLX will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

Stocks to keep an eye on January 30, 2015

( click to enlarge )

There is a possibility of a break out in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares for the following reasons: 

- Very strong earnings report. 
- The stock has been trading within a steep uptrend over the past two weeks and the momentum should continue to drive the stock higher. 
- The volumes on this stock are up as seen in the chart 
- The MACD is rising and still in the positive zone 
- The RSI is still not showing the stock as expensive
- The stock is comfortably above the 200 and 50 day exponential moving averages. 
- The volume chart from OBV has been on an upside. 

At this point and given the current stock levels, it is important for it to break 119.75 level soon.


( click to enlarge )

Hologic, Inc.(NASDAQ:HOLX) broke out and never stopped all day. There is a good chance the stock will continue to move up.

( click to enlarge )

Kraft Foods Group Inc (NASDAQ:KRFT) is pulling back to breakout area. The stock could find support here and resume the uptrend. Only a close below $64 would change the short-term outlook to bearish for the stock.

( click to enlarge )

Microsemi Corporation (NASDAQ:MSCC) Still watching it, especially after today's action. The MACD-histogram has been sloping up and the RSI is rising, indicating bullishness. Watching over $29.26 for a trade.

Stock Market alerts for Friday Mar 18

( click to enlarge )

Extremely bullish moves on Golar LNG Limited (NASDAQ:GLNG) are taking place over the last session’s. The stock hit a high of $24.09, which is now resistance for friday’s continuation move. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see another strong upside move. GLNG will move very quickly, so watch the stock closely on Friday.

 ( click to enlarge )

Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOLX) closed at $21.75, an increase by 63 cents or 2.98%. During today's trading session, the stock recorded a new 52-week high at $21.88 with a trading volume of 3.38 million shares. The stock hit an intraday high of $21.88 and an intraday low of $21.41. This looks to be a good breakout, so watch the stock very closely over the next few trading sessions.

 ( click to enlarge )

Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKAM) closed just above the 10-day moving average and MACD has generated a buy signal. The stock hit a high of $36.98 for the day, which is resistance for Friday’s follow through move. If the stock can break resistance, we should see a good upside move.

 ( click to enlarge )

Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc (NYSE:MMI) traded higher on Thursday gaining nearly 6% after being upgraded to Neutral from Reduce at Nomura. I'm hoping that this could be the start of a rebound, which is why I will be watching the stock on Friday. If the stock can break through Thursday’s high of $25.18, we should see a strong continuation move. MMI is a fast moving stock, which means I will keep this stock on my trading screen throughout the day on Friday.

  ( click to enlarge )

Keep an eye on Banner Corporation (NASDAQ:BANR) and monitor its volume, RSI, and MFI for any potential breakouts. If the stock can manage a breakout above its psychological resistance level at $2.59 on high volume, it would be a great buying opportunity, but only on a breakout. Over the past month, Banner Corporation saw its short interest decrease by 24%. This bank could be a takeover target according to some analysts. I like the stock as long as it remains above $2.18.

Other stocks to watch :

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a great day on Wednesday. $339.61 is the next resistance level.

Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc (AMEX:HEB) - I like the stock as long as it remains above $0.45.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - BDX, HOLX, BCR

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

BCR shares took a hit in February and managed to find support around 75-79 with upside volume starting to pick up. The technical indicators of the daily chart are still negative suggesting further possible pressure but a strong closing again above the 79 could change this scenery. Short term traders can go long if stock breaks this level and thereafter stock can target the level of $81.26. The bias remains bearish in nearest term.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

HOLX - The stock bottomed at 9.92 and closed at 10.09. The support on the daily technical chart has been breakdown to the downside suggesting a potential bearish scenario for stock. All indicators still point to a bear market. The trend is currently down.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

BDX - Despite the weak signal from MACD in the technical chart as MACD and signal line are below 0, the technical chart shows this might be a great time to buy the stock as K line has just crossed on top over D line showing buy signal while ROC is still at oversold level. Nevertheless the stock is currently in a downtrend. Immediate resistance is seen at 64.70 ( today’s high ). Initial support at 61.82.

Hot stocks for next week - COMS, HOLX, SPWR, SOLF, AAPL, RFMD

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RFMD - The stock broke consolidation resistance with heavy volume. The technical chart shows buyers are back. With the surge today K line is again on top over D line showing the stock is back to new rally. This is what strong stocks generally do in a rebound : break resistance, hold the breakout and continue higher. A move towards $5 can be expected as long as $4 holds. I would like to see at least a move above $4.28 before betting on a pull back.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

AAPL is getting a battle with resistance at $190. The stock has been consildating for weeks now, and may be ready to clear this base. The Technical chart shows positive sign as the stock has been above 200-day moving average since mid April and has formed golden cross earlier May. Golden cross is when 50 day MA cross on top over 200 MA and is a very bullish buy signal.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

SOLF breakout !!! The triangle represents a consolidation or rest after an advance. The breakout signals a continuation of the prior advance. Even though I find the breakout bullish, I also find Solar stocks a bit overextended. As long as $21 holds, this breakout is in great shape. A move below $20.80 would question the breakout and further weakness below $20.03 would be outright bearish.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

SPWR - The daily chart shows possible new rally as K line has crossed on top over D line while ROC is still at oversold level. However it is better to wait and see if the stock can break above 50 day moving average.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

HOLX - Looking very good but the stock might consolidate in short term.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

COMS - 3Com Corp is firming just above key support at $2.51 and a triangle has taken shape over the last few weeks. This is a neutral pattern dependent on a break to establish a directional bias. A break below $2.39 would signal a decline and be quite bearish, on the other hans a breakout at $2.60 would be bullish.

What a start !!! Stocks to keep your eye on Monday AMD, CIEN, HOLX

Finally, the week has gone, and I have to confess that I never have seen in my trading life a year start like this one, probably just in 1983 a similar situation. It's very typical in this time of the year see an increase of money entering in the market and this week was a bit different, there was lack of volume and some guys putting their money away from the market, which no make any sense for this seasonal time of year. Gold prices also surged into record territory this week as lingering geopolitical concerns and a spike in oil prices fuelled demand for the precious metal, as I wrote in the previous post, there is no reason for current prices of Oil, it's pure speculation in my honest opinion. Anyway, I put below more trade ideas for the week ahead that it is expected to be more liquid in terms of volume. Check this out !!

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Well, I don’t know as tell you but on Friday I have entered long on AMD. My first idea was, the stock has suffered a big drop after having broken $12 level, falling more than 50% since November lows, so it seems to me a great opportunity to enter now but with a high risk in my mind of course. One reason was the fact that the last 3 sessions, volume doubled, probably a sign of capitalization, and also if we consider the MACD divergence on the chart, it may be indicating a possibility of inversion trend in AMD,let’s see.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Ciena had a high volume breakout in May of 2007 and has risen gradually for almost six months. However it starts pulling back on October, after has reached a new high at $49.55. Now, it seems the perfect time for a short term correction to the upside, due to the high level of oversold conditions. In conclusion, Stock filled gap today and looks set for a short term correction.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Here is a stock that survived on Friday sell-Off, Hologic "HOLX" is the name. This company develops, manufactures and distributes diagnostic and medical imaging systems serving the healthcare needs of women. Hologic has broken out to all time highs during today session to a new 52 week high at $72.88, however in the final hour stock retracted closing at $71.12. Looking at the daily chart, the stock is still in the bull market as the stock is trading above both 50 day and 200 day moving average and MACD signal line still above 0. Another indicator KD line shows the stock may be on a new rally again as K line crossover D line. As we can see above overall indicators are still sowing a Bullish momentum on stock, so let's see if monday stock will confirm intraday breakout. Support at $72.88 and Resistance at $67.40. Keep an eye on HOLX next week.
