9 chart setups for the coming week

( click to enlarge )

Xerox Corp (NYSE:XRX) was up on Friday, after the company released good earnings. The stock was up $.52 on 3x normal daily volume, as it hit a high of $9.89. I will be watching XRX on Monday for a follow through move, using Friday’s high as resistance. The bias is bullish in nearest term. There is a lot of upside room in this stock, so watch it closely.

Some signs of a reversal on price action mentioned on an earlier post did work out as I expected. The stock had a bullish move on Friday breaking several resistance lines and could eventually rally up to test the declining EMA50 in the next sessions. Checking on the indicators, the MACD is rising above the signal line and the RSI is constructing higher lows and higher highs, both suggesting further upside. Plus, The stock's accumulation/distribution line (A/D) remains in a strong up trend. KBH is displaying upside momentum and is poised to move higher from these levels.

( click to enlarge )

Cree, Inc. (NASDAQ:CREE) has a very interesting daily technical chart as the stock looks to be ready for a good upside move. CREE traded a good volume on Friday as it closed up $.98 on the day above the $28 level. All inidicators are still in Bullishs areas. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $28.10 (EMA200).

( click to enlarge )

Chimerix Inc (NASDAQ:CMRX) On Thursday, BlackRock reported it increased its stake to 6.5%. Institutions and insiders continue to buy/add shares at current levels, which means that sooner or later we should see a reversal up. I continue to hold my position in the stock as I believe there will be more share price appreciation in the coming days. Following the smart money usually pays off. Note: Last week the billionaire Steven Cohen also revealed a 6.4% stake.

( click to enlarge )

Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:INO) Looks like a V-bounce is underway. The stock surged more than 15 percent Friday accompanied by a strong volume expansion, closing above its EMA100 for the first time since December. The technical chart shows buyers are back. A move towards $7 can be expected as long as $6.12 holds.

( click to enlarge )

Apollo Education Group Inc (NASDAQ:APOL) is coming up to a big level, as the stock is near the $8 level. I will be watching this stock closely next week as I expect to see a strong move once the stock breaks through resistance. A move past $8.09 would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock. The technical daily chart show a continuation of the uptrend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. My model remains long, targeting $9 area. Rumors of takeover are emerging again.

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) broke out of a bottom/accumulation pattern. Now we just need to see on Monday a confirmation of the reversal. Indicators are turning up.

( click to enlarge )

CONSOL Energy Inc. (NYSE:CNX) looks like it is starting to turn. On Friday, the stock price decisively broke through its downtrend-line by gaining nearly 17 per cent accompanied by heavy volume. From technical indicators, I continue to see a confluence of "BUYS", with RSI crossing above 50 and MACD heading up. The stock hit a high of $8.58, which is resistance for Monday’s follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is in the process of bottoming and I expect a pop above $7.16 at some point in the coming days. All technical indicators are giving some signs of downward exhaustion. The MACD has stabilized and the RSI is trying to turn higher. On Friday the company has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to more than double its existing share buyback program and repurchase up to 5.8 percent of its public float, not good news for short sellers. A strong short-covering rally should emerge sooner or later. Keep it on your watch list going forward.

Chart Setups for Week of January 25th, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Chimerix Inc (NASDAQ:CMRX) Today I am giving readers a play that I have alerted in the past and had several times double digit gains in one day. I rarely alert the same stock more than once in a short period of time but CMRX is set up so perfectly I can not resist. As you could see by the daily technical chart above, the stock has the potential to witness a significant uptick. In the short-term, it has formed a small bullish flag. Breaking above 9.12 will signal the breakout of this flag formation pushing the stock towards 9.72. With a break of this key resistance point, the chart then enters into Blue Sky Breakout territory (HUGE GAP) and future resistances are not until way above. From a technical standpoint, money flow indicators starting to turn upward and MACD is gaining traction. RSI is also significantly oversold, which suggests a rally could be coming up. Plus, insiders and institutions have been buying. In my opinion and based on the chart, the stock is set for a big move next week. Be sure to get it on your radars. Im long and my stop is located at 7.49.

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) rebounded on solid volume Friday. Gonna have to watch it carefully on Monday to see if we have hit bottom and should grab some for the ride back up. Daily technical indicators are displaying positive divergences. Slow stochastic is moving up from the oversold zone, suggesting that a bounce might take place and the daily RSI is giving the same signal. Watch the stock closely next week.

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a big pop on Friday and the stock price finally broke out of the descending channel that has been forming since the beginning of the December 2015, which is very bullish. The technical daily chart appears to be bottoming with indicators pointing to short-term reversals. I feel that this stock can easily run to 106's in the near term. Note: Next week the company will report earnings and this technical outlook could change quickly.

( click to enlarge )

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) not only broke the descending channel formation on the daily chart, it also managed to reach the $98 zone yesterday. Important to see how this acts over the next few days. The daily technical chart is displaying positive divergences on momentum indicators and with the stock in oversold territory these are the perfect conditions for a short-term rally. The Relative Strenght Index has reversed the course and the daily MACD is starting to curl up, suggesting that a positive crossover could be coming soon. Note: Earnings Jan 27 AMC

( click to enlarge )

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:JNPR) has sold off over the past few months but looks to have found a bottom. The stock closed up 48 cents Friday on good volume. Daily MACD also gave a buy signal last week. Let's keep an eye on it as i think momentum will pick up. First upside target of $27

( click to enlarge )

Macy's, Inc. (NYSE:M) Will continue to watch this stock. Nice gap to fill if it can break through resistance.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) struggling to breakout. The stock has been under strong accumulation lately and is now working its overbought condition. There is a need for profit taking for some consolidation from these high levels. The short-term outlook remains positive as long as the stock stays above the 9 & 13 EMAs. On watch for a clear of resistance (declining 200EMA).

( click to enlarge )

Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) had a very bullish move last week breaking several resistance lines with large volume and we should see a continuation move next week. The daily MACD chart is still showing an uptrend with the MACD indicator above its signal line and is indicating further strength. The RSI value is currently above 50% level. The short-term trend is bullish and a move to the 16.5/17.2 range appears likely. On watch.

Stocks to Watch for May 30, 2013

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) The stock is testing a major support zone 50-day EMA and medium-term trend line support. Play the reaction. From a technical perspective, the daily technical indicators are showing bearish signs. The MACD is positive but falling below its signal line. The RSI is below its 50% level and the CMF is negative. The stock is trading well above its rising 200-day EMA, which is a good sign, but at this level strict stop losses must be maintained. Keep a close eye on KBH tomorrow !

( click to enlarge )

Procera Networks Inc (NASDAQ:PKT) Nice mover off of the 20-day EMA. Upside volume has been good lately and there is one level to watch in the near term for a breakout: 14.97 . The technical indicators are improving with increased accumulation. Keep PKT on your radar !!!

( click to enlarge )

Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEMKT:UEC) has been in a strong upwards trend the past few days and looks ready to continue this move.

( click to enlarge )

UniPixel Inc (NASDAQ:UNXL) The stock closed below key support level of 19.53 EMA200 for the first time in over six months. This is something worth watching.

( click to enlarge )

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) was one of the few winners today, as the stock closed up 78 cents on the day. Today’s high was $47.78, which is resistance for the follow through move. If it can break through this level, expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher. I'll watch the stock closely on Thursday.

( click to enlarge )

A M Castle and Co (NYSE:CAS) Cup and Handle pattern formation in progress. 18.74 is the level to watch for a breakout.

Stocks Watchlist For Friday, October 19

( click to enlarge )

eBay Inc (NASDAQ:EBAY) hit a new 52-week high today trading as high as $50.94, before settling at a close of $50.83. I will be watching the stock on Friday looking for a follow through move. As long as the stock stay above $47.77, the bullish scenario still intact. Technical chart shows very strong bullish sign. First of all, the stock is trading above both 50-day and 200-day moving average with both moving average pointing upwards. Then the MACD indicator made an upward crossover and back above zero indicating strong bullish momentum. Lastly, stochastics are moving up all above 20.

( click to enlarge )

Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:HCBK) has rallied from below $6 to above $8.75 in just three months, a gain of over 45%. The technical chart above shows very strong upward momentum as the stock is trading above the 50 day moving average with both 50-day and 200-day moving average going up. At this point I will be a buyer only once it breaks through Thursday’s high of $8.79 for the continuation move. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain bullish signaling.

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) Holding its breakout level of $16.30 will be the key if bulls want the recent rally to continue. Momentum oscillators like MACD has improved and trading in bullish territory. I would consider being buyers around $16.30 with stop loss at $15.05 for a target of $19.10

( click to enlarge )

Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (NYSE:SID) closed at $5.78, up 8 cents points for the day reconfirming the new uptrend after the recent break above the 50-day sma on expanding volume. For now, expect a run up to next resistance area around $5.92. If the stock is able to cross it and sustain above it, then it might go to $6.2. Support lies around $5.25.

Stocks to watch out for next week

( click to enlarge )

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) breaks above 31.5 resistance but failed to close above it. However, further rise is still possible and the next target would be at 32-32.27 area. Initial support is at 30.86, as long as this level holds we'd expect the uptrend to continue.

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) had a huge breakout day on heavy volume. Next resistance is seen at 15.51 which is the highs of 2011. If you are a disciplined trader, wait a pull back to enter.

( click to enlarge )

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN) closed at 5.28, up 13 cents for the day reconfirming the new uptrend after the recent break above the major resistance on expanding volume. The technical indicators are looking better for the stock. The technical chart shows a bullish sign as the stock is back on top of 20-day moving average with MACD rising and approaching the zero line from below. For now, expect a run up to next resistance area around $5.74. If the stock is able to cross it and sustain above it, then it might go to $6.34.

( click to enlarge )

The stock surged in the final hour of trading and closed back over 3.2. The real fireworks should begin if ZNGA can close above $3.33. As long as the stock can remain above $2.89, I like the stock. The accumulation/distribution line is starting to curl upward (accumulation) which should eventually lead to price increases. That bodes well for a breakout ;)

( click to enlarge )

Keep an eye on Career Education Corp. (NASDAQ:CECO) and monitor its volume, RSI and Accum/Dist for any potential breakouts. If the stock can manage a breakout above the 50-day moving average located at $3.98 on high volume, it would be a great buying opportunity but only on a breakout. The MFl is showing that there is more money flowing into a security that out of the security. You want to watch the stock closely as CECO can move quickly and you want to be ready for this move once it happens.

( click to enlarge )

The price movement on Cell Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CTIC) this week was marked by a high degree of volatility as chart shows. The near-term outlook would depend on the price movement in the next few sessions. A close above 3 would impart bullishness and would help the stock move to the 3.6-3.94 area. A drop below 2.48 would have negative implications that would push the stock down to the 2.2-2 range. The trend for CTIC is down in short-term and today’s action doesn’t change that. A move above resistance 3 could signal a reversal of the trend while a move below support confirms the downtrend.

( click to enlarge )

Homeowners Choice, Inc. (NASDAQ:HCII) A nice looking bullish pattern on the daily chart. About to break out up into new highs once again. Long over 23.89

Stock picks for Tuesday January 25

( click to enlarge )

I see little resistance for KB Home (NYSE:KBH) above $15.71 and a move this week through this level will be an indicator of a possible breakout which should drive the price to the $18 range. Investors looking for a quick near-term profit should look to trade KBH at these levels. Long-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above $14.20 while maintaining stop-loss at this level. Strong close above $15.85 will take the stock higher to $17.32 or $20 in the long-term. Technical indicators are supporting the bulls. EMAs are moving up and RSI is moving up above its 50% level.

( click to enlarge )

LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE:LDK) is in a new bull-market. Investors with medium-term horizon can hold the stock with stop-loss at $12.28 and long-term investors can hold with deeper stop at $10.02. Target above $15 is $16.46.

( click to enlarge )

I had mentioned that failure to surpass the 200-day moving average could result in the stock vacillating in the band between $16.65 and $14.63 for few more weeks. I stay with the view that long-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above the major support area. Since the stock has strong long-term support in the band between $15 and $14.65, investors can buy the stock close to $15 with stop at $14.63. Looking at the technical chart above we can see a bullish signal in short-term, the RSI reversed from going down to going up just at the weak level of 33. Speaks to a bottom being put in. Stay tuned !!

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was one of the few decent winners on Monday, as the stock closed up $2.53 on the day. NVDA broke out today on higher volume ( 2x normal daily volume ) above a major resistance point. Today’s high was $25.05, which is resistance for the follow through move. If the stock can break through this level, expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher.

5 Hot stocks to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) continued its upward surge from Thursday.

A quick look at the daily chart of JPM shows us that:

- The stock price has been making higher lows since last December.
- The volume of transactions has been increasing substantially over the last 2 months.
- Trendline is rising
- The 50 daily moving average is turning up for the first time since March-April 2010
- The price has crossed the 10 day moving average to the upside again with an increase in volume.

- My expectation is for JPM to rise back up to 47.18-48$ and then break out above 48.02$.

- This scenario would be cancelled if the price falls below 43$.

There is a resistance level that needs to be crossed to give rise to the next leg up. The buy trigger is at $45.94. If we can cross this level next week, the stock should continue its move up. Stay tuned !!

( click to enlarge )

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) broke out today on higher volume ( 3x normal daily volume ) above a major resistance point. Buy trigger is clear. It appears to be moving up toward its old highs in the 31-32 range.

( click to enlarge )

Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPOP) closed back the 10 day moving average located at $3.21, ending the day at $3.22. The next major resistance level is located at $3.30. I would be a buyer on any weakness.

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) is looking bullish and may breakout of this falling wedge/pennant. The stock should find support here at the lower band and 20 sma.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) continues to hold the 50 and 200 day moving averages which is very bullish. I expect the stock to test the $22 level soon. A close over this level would be bullish and I'd expect the stock to run to $25. Support is located at $20.34 as well as $20. If the stock closes below $20 at any time, all bets are off. Over the past month, RMBS saw its short interest decrease by five percent to 5,638,200 from 5,926,100. The new bullish trend on my technical chart looks good. My model is long targeting $25. Key resistance is now located at $22, a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 25 zone. Rambus is the frequent subject of patent infringement and anti-trust claim issues. Hynix Semiconductor, Nvidia, Micron Tech have had patent infringement suits with Rambus, so please be aware that the share price depends in part of the news that comes to the market, causing generally large fluctuations in the share, so be careful if you’re not familiar with the stock.

Hot Stock Movers to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

Nice day for Affymax, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFY) everyone !! So, I first alerted on this one, yesterday night and this morning on Twitter I said the stock was on my watch radar. Today it hit a high of $8.50 for a possible gain on 20% and ended the day at $7.99 so readers who bought in on my initial alert are still up 15% !! This was an amazing run for those who jumped in at that time. Hope everyone is having fun and making some money. Now the momentum on AFFY is building up again and another run is on the horizon. New fresh exposures on AFFY should be made only when the stock move above $8.50.

Another stock mentioned earlier this week on AC Investor Blog was KB Home (NYSE:KBH) as a possible breakout candidate, and the stock did what it was supposed to do. The stock broke out of a consolidation yesterday and followed through nicely today with another $.92 gain, or 6.24%. The technical chart shows the stock is in a rally as %K line is rising on top of %D. Moreover MACD shows the stock is still in bull market as MACD and signal line are above 0. Initial resistance is at $15.54. Break above that area could trigger further bullish momentum towards $16.

DemandTec, Inc. (NASDAQ:DMAN) broke out and never stopped all day. There is a good chance the stock will continue to move up. If the stock can break through $12.51, we should see it move up to $13. Looking at the technical daily chart the investor sentiment in stock showed by RSI continues strong and MACD still going up. Technically speaking, the stock is painting a Bullish picture.

Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPOP) - We can see that the recent increase in trading volume and rising OBV suggests buyers are accumulating stock. Traders are hoping for a breakout above $3.25 to signal that the bull market in stock is back. This morning, Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on shares with a "BUY" rating.

Other stocks to watch :

Shares of Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTIC) were on fire Friday. The stock will have major resistance between $0.42-0.425. Cell Therapeutics failed to close over the 200 day moving average now located at $0.425. A close over this level would be bullish and I'd look for CTIC to test the recent high of $0.493. I plan to buy the stock on a close over the 200 day moving average.

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) had a great day but gave back a lot of it's gains all day. I will buy the stock the next time it breaks $5.51.

I continue to watch American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG), because the volume is still large so it could potentially break out again at any moment.
