A few stocks on my top watchlist for short term swings

( click to enlarge )

Eros International plc (NYSE: EROS) has been consolidating in the 1.6-1.85 area. A move above 1.88 would indicate a break out of the flag, with the potential to reach 2.6, my initial target, and then $3 Stop loss 1.59 Note: Earnings on Monday.

Akerna Corp (NASDAQ: KERN) I think this stock will post a sharp rally from current levels. This was a $72 stock in June and at $14, in my opinion, there is a compelling risk/reward scenario. The risk is the stock continues to fall but the drop is very limit at this point IMHO, the reward is a swift 50-100% type move for this highly oversold stock. The daily chart above does not lie. When a positive divergence in the market occurs, the oscillator is rising but the stock isn't, then this is an indicator that a change in trend is imminent. That trend change for KERN is just getting under way. Im long.

Valeritas Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: VLRX) The dip on Friday to $2.85 might have been an amazing opportunity for investors to snag a few shares. If recent history for VLRX is any indication of what the future holds, than expect another swift move to the upside next week.

Sequential Brands Group Inc (NASDAQ: SQBG) has broken out in a big way. This stock could see 75c in swift fashion next week. The volume on Friday has been nothing short of remarkable. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) has been under slow and steady accumulation over the last several trading sessions. The stock appears to have solid footing in the $1.5's and looks ready to test the $2's. Breakout watch over 1.7

( click to enlarge )

Phunware Inc (NASDAQ: PHUN) is on bottom and volume watch. Last week this tock saw strong volume and a modest increase in its share price. The line is drawn in the sand here. It will either bounce big or the flame will slowly die out. Keep it on your radar Monday morning. RSI is displaying a positive divergence.

( click to enlarge )

Workhorse Group Inc (NASDAQ: WKHS) surged to new highs last week amidst a flurry of buying. This stock, once a forgotten a penny stock, has amassed an impressive investor following. The buzz continues to grow in WS with each new high. It is a stock to watch for the foreseeable future. The bias remains to the upside.

( click to enlarge )

Uxin Ltd (NASDAQ:UXIN) came under some serious buying pressure on Friday and posted a gain of 15%. Considering the money flowing into the stock it doesn't look like this run is just a one day pump. More likely UXIN will hold above EMA50 for some time. Its only a matter of how high it will go. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

ShiftPixy Inc (NASDAQ: PIXY) was another high money volume stock on Friday. Keep it on your watch list.

Some interesting chart setups in the bigcaps and smallcaps to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

Qutoutiao Inc (NASDAQ: QTT) made a strong upside reversal Friday on solid volume. The daily technical chart above suggests that stock might find now resistance at $4.61. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. I think this could be the spark of a new bull trend in the making. I'm watching for a follow through move on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Aileron Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: ALRN) has fallen in a slow steady decline from $1.7 down to 61c with nary a bounce. I think that bounce is coming and it will be impressive to behold. The stock is likely forming a double bottom pattern and it could stage a decent recovery above 75c. There is a big catalyst in September ( ALRN-6924 and IBRANCE), so this could be a good spot to accumulate shares. At extreme oversold conditions and with a positive MACD divergence on daily, i decide to start buying shares on Friday for a possible big bounce from current levels. Risk/reward seems favorable. Short-term target 1-1.1

( click to enlarge )

Leap Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: LPTX) seems to have broken out of a major horizontal resistance that targets a move to 2.5 in the stock. The daily technical indicator MACD shows the stock is still in a positive momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Precipio Inc (NASDAQ: PRPO) back-tested successfully the breakout point last week and we can now move higher to test Monday's high of 4.39 Still on my top watchlist. I think this stock deserves some watching in the coming days. If the buying continues in earnest things could get very interesting.

( click to enlarge )

Revolve Group LLC (NYSE: RVLV) After touching a high of $48.36 a few weeks ago, the stock has been in a corrective phase. The stock made a nice move on Friday, breaking a key resistance and looks ready to continue on Monday. Short-term outlook is positive and a move to 40-42 range appears likely.

( click to enlarge )

Viveve Medical Inc (NASDAQ: VIVE) is forming a bottom or hit bottom Friday and look ready for a rebound. I really like VIVE here at 35c/37c and think based on the recent pennymania momentum that it could do a 50-100% type run from here. I might be a little early with this call, but in the end I think it will be very profitable.

( click to enlarge )

ShiftPixy Inc (NASDAQ: PIXY) over the last trading days has seen its stock rise from 34c to a high of 65c Friday. Volume has also been on the rise. Chart looks bullish. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over 65c. If you don't have this stock on your watchlist yet, I think now is a good time to add it.

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) closed higher on Friday as the stock looks to be bouncing off support. The stock hit a high of $1.64 on Friday, which is resistance for Monday’s follow through move. IGC can be a fast moving stock, so keep it on your radar and be ready for this upside move.

( click to enlarge )

AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVEO) There is something important to point out in this chart, the volume is daily decreasing which could mean that the current trend will probably not continue and a reversal may be imminent. When company insiders puts hundreds of thousands of their own money into their stock, you have to believe they are doing it for a reason. They purchased a lot of shares at 1.14. This stock tends to make violent moves to the upside at support.

( click to enlarge )

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) is coming up to a big level again. I will be watching this stock closely on Monday as I expect to see a strong move once the stock breaks through resistance. A move past $325.58 would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock. Technically the stock looks solid trading above all key EMAs. My model is long.

My hot stock watchlist for the coming week

( click to enlarge )

Matinas BioPharma Holdings Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: MTNB) stock jumped 5% on Friday and broke above the upper trend line of the falling wedge formation in which the stock has been trading since the beginning of March. I expect continuation of current momentum and a move towards the $1.2-$1.3 area in the short term. The MACD started to show a bullish sign and so is RSI, indicating a bullish outlook ahead. Looks like the stock is gonna squeeze some shorts to me.

( click to enlarge )

I've been following Celldex Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CLDX) for a couple of days now and it looks like it may be turning here. The downtrend line looms above as resistance and I think it could easily catch some momemtum and clear it. Keep the stock on your radar for the next few trading days. If CLDX can break through resistance at 3.78, we should see a strong upside move.

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) rebounded strongly Friday on pretty heavy volume and might be on the way up again. As you could see above, the stock has several favorable technical factors suggesting that it could breakout its 200-hourly EMA (green line) which often attracts additional traders on the buyside, putting upward pressure on shares. Positive MACD indicates that the stock is a buy. Any move over $1.80 will probably lead to a strong rally. I made a nice scalp on Friday's morning as i tweeted. Let's keep an eye on it. Stop 1.51

( click to enlarge )

Kadmon Holdings Inc (NYSE: KDMN) appears to be poised for a nice bounce off this bottom.The stock has a long history of big bounces when it the RSI touches extreme oversold levels. This is a solid bounce play that should be kept on the radar.

( click to enlarge )

Up Fintech Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: TIGR) is still trading sideways in the short-term, between14.5 and 17. Its technical indicators are showing positive signal and the stock price is trading above the major hourly short-term EMA's, denoting the current positive tone, that may turn into a new uptrend soon. Expect an initial run up to 18 with a break higher moving to the 19.5 zone. Stop loss 14.24

( click to enlarge )

Avon Products, Inc. (NYSE: AVP) has recovered nicely last week and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $3.41. Technical daily indicators are becoming more favorable with MACD and RSI starting to turn up. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch AVP closely next week.

( click to enlarge )

Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR) is in an ascending triangle formation with higher lows putting some pressure on the 2.68 area, a break of which could move the stock significantly higher. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

You need to watch Phunware Inc (NASDAQ: PHUN) stock closely because it could break resistance soon. Stock seems to be forming a head and shoulders bottom pattern. This is one of the very profitable bullish reversal chart. I think we could see double digits again and very soon.

( click to enlarge )

Blackberry (NYSE: BB) The bears failed again last week to close the stock below its rising 100-day EMA and we saw some call options buying in Blackberry. It was also interesting to know that SAP is again looking for tuck-in acquisitions, and we know how much they love John Chen companies. Can Blackberry be the next Syabse? Well, only the time will tell, but this news sounds interesting. From a technical standpoint, the stock made a great move Friday and was with an increase in volume and I suspect this could be the start of a new rally. It shows signs of recovery with its recent up move supported by short-term EMAs and momentum indicators. 9.21 next breakout watch.

( click to enlarge )

Tenax Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: TENX) jumped 10% Friday finishing the session at the highs of the day on decent volume, suggesting buyers are stepping in. The move puts TENX in high probability of a breakout above key resistance in the 1.78 area where it closed. On watch for continuation higher, this momentum could move stock to the $2 area.

( click to enlarge )

PDS Biotechnology Corp (NASDAQ:PDSB) just another company in the small bio land trading at bargain prices with more than $21 per share in cash. Watching for $6.50 breakout. All indicators are in favor of an upward price movement.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIOP) Nice price movement on volume Friday and looks ready to break out into new high territory next week. It's important to maintain tight stops on this one in case of a false breakout.

Here are a few stocks to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

The stock continues to sit in a consolidation range. At some point, India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) will breakout and I want to be there for this move. There is strong resistance around $2.35 and if the stock stock can break through this level, there is a strong chance IGC can run back to the $2.6-3 range. On the downside, a break below $1.85 would be your first sign of weakness which could lead to bigger problems. So it should be used as your mental stop loss.

( click to enlarge )

aTyr Pharma Inc )NASDAQ: LIFE) broke the downtrend line that it established since June 2018 and traded nearly 3x normal daily volume. The has been under a buying pressure in the last few days, and overall the stock still looks healthy. The technical indicators look good at this stage, as seen in the chart above. The RSI indicator sloping up and crossing the 50 mark and MACD rising above zero line, which is bullish.I expect the shares to test prior highs in the $68c area in the coming days. There is a big event coming up soon. I have been accumulating this stock, not only because the event but also due to its strong cash position (As of September 30, 2018, aTyr had $56.0 million in cash). Watch the stock closely next week. Note: Earnings March 25th

( click to enlarge )

Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corp (NYSEAMERICAN: TRX) broke out on Friday and made a new 52-week high of $.788. The stock had big buyers in it all day, but is now showing overbought readings. Buyable on any pullback to 68c-70c zone.

( click to enlarge )

Sorrento Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: SRNE) is one of the hottest stocks of Nasdaq right now. The stock has been on a non-stop rally since March lows but needs now to reset the extreme overbought conditions to provide some room to develop a new trend up. Keep watching the stock.

( click to enlarge )

Akari Therapeutics PLC (NASDAQ: AKTX) is still facing resistance around $4.3 area, however the technical chart still showing bullish bias wiht MACD indicating that the current short term price trend is very bullish. In addition, the technical indicator ADX is rising which indicates the trend is gaining strength. A break above $4.3 could trigger further upside momentum testing $5.50 initially then $7

( click to enlarge )

Seelos Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: SEEL) If the stock finds support around the prior support level, I will enter for a trade.

( click to enlarge )

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNSS) broke out from a sidewards movement with huge volume on Friday, creating a significant amount of bullish potential. If the upward movement continue next week it may break out from its declining 200-ema resistance at $1.37

( click to enlarge )

Performance Shipping Inc (NASDAQ: DCIX) has had a hard time with resistance here but may be ready to move higher. The level which the stock may have trouble moving above is currently at $1.30 It would need to break above that level to run to $2. Watch the stock closely next week.

( click to enlarge )

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) made a significant downside correction on Friday. We need this downside correction as RSI already is in extreme overbought area on daily chart. We also should see this current downside momentum as consolidation/correction move. Immediate supports 189 and 185

Small caps to watch next week and 19 trading rules

Dearest Readers/followers :)

Small-capitalization stocks are on fire, so i will be here as long as the momentum is in our favor (i dont trade OTC stocks). Small-cap stocks generally provide the best returns for day traders, but we need to be aware of the risks. There could be liquidity problems if someone is trying to take a big position in a small stock, so if your account is small, please diversify in order to avoid been stuck in just one stock and use tight stops. Small cap companies can be a good opportunity because of the cheap share price, but we need to have rules to trade them. Meanwhile, and based on my experience over the years, here are some 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

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.

The strong move in Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ: ALT) shares was something that I tweeted on Friday's morning around the $5 level before the move. The stock price broke out of a bottom/accumulation pattern accompanied by strong volume. I scalped this stock in the past and missed the massive run-up because I did not buy and hold, but I think we will see a nice follow through next week to fill the gap on chart. I am keeping ALT on the list for the next few days.

( click to enlarge )

On watchlist, no trigger yet. NII Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: NIHD) continues to consolidate in a very tight range. The stock has been in a nice uptrend for three consecutive months and it looks very strong with all EMAs going up. If you're long use the rising 50-day EMA as your stop-loss. Breakout watch over 6.10

( click to enlarge )

Bellerophon Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: BLPH) finished higher on Friday after bouncing off of support around the 1.05 area, a strong support region, that may represent the bottom, in the short-term technical chart. Investors continued to support BLPH stock around this key support level, absorbing the waves of selling and pushing the share price higher. The volume looks like it is picking back up and the MACD is about to cross above the zero line. Look for a break above the 1.33 level to enter longs.

( click to enlarge )

Matinas BioPharma Holdings Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: MTNB) experienced wild swings on Friday. At one point the stock was very oversold at 75c and then bounced all the way back to 88c. I think this was a very important day, as the stock might be indicating the market capitulated at the lows. If Friday’s support holds next week, it could be a turning point for the stock. This sympathy play of AMRN could see another strong move to the upside very soon IMHO I recommend everyone to watch this video HERE that was published on October 1 with the CEO saying the company is beating out competitor for reducing serum triglycerides. Im long and strong.

( click to enlarge )

RXi Pharmaceuticals Corp (NASDAQ: RXII) shares decreased 70% from a couple weeks ago after making a big uptick. Now that offering was closed with prices well above current levels, stock is ready to make a solid move since it has started recovering from its recent strong support zone. Additionally, as you can see on chart, money flow has been very high during the consolidation/accumulation phase which is a very positive sign from a technical perspective, so don't ignore it, consider taking advantage of the situation. Any break above the 68c level next week, could be a good sign to close the HUGE gap.

( click to enlarge )

Sphere 3D Corp (NASDAQ: ANY) could be in the early stages of a technical breakout. If the stock can break through 37c, expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher. Short-term technical indicators are looking bullish.

( click to enlarge )

Microbot Medical Inc (NASDAQ: MBOT) is screaming for a bounce opportunity and I think we can see some nice moves next week. I continue to see a lot of potential in this company. Keep MBOT on your trading station, since it is appears to be attracting more investment attention. I still holding a long position here.

( click to enlarge )

CorMedix Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: CRMD) potential breakout candidate. It looks like it's gonna try to squeeze some shorts. Once the stock breaks the 1.43 level, we should see another strong upside move. CRMD will move very quickly, so keep the stock on your screen throughout the day on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Valeritas Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: VLRX) Volume starts to pick up again. Could make a nice move to the upside. Keep it on your watch list. A break of $1.7 with force might give VLRX room to $2

( click to enlarge )

India Globalization Capital, Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: IGC) needs to hold support at the $4 on a close basis to avoid further declines. This area is a critical support region that can determine overall bias for the stock in short-term. If you're in IGC, make sure to set your stop loss.

( click to enlarge )

Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX) Watching for breakout confirmation. The stock needs to break and hold 2.18 to confirm. A breakout could take NVAX much higher as the chart shows little resistance.
