Stocks to watch next week

( click to enlarge )


Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:VRTX) finally broke above resistance in today's trading session after a period of consolidation. I still like this stock and will be watching it again on Monday, expecting to see a continuation move. Resistance for Monday is $54.15, which was today's high.

( click to enlarge )

Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) lost 7.9% on heavy volume but closed above its 50-day moving average. If the stock can hold this level on Monday it should be a really good entry point to take a long position jmho From a technical perspective the stock is on a bull market as the stock is trading above both 50-day and 200-day moving average and 50-day moving average is on top of 200-day moving average heading upwards. Additionally, the MACD indicator is rising above 0 also indicating a buy. Monday will be an interesting day for BBRY. No one knows, how the stock will react. It is a waiting game now !! 

( click to enlarge )

Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN) Technical breakout. I do not see anything until the $6.15-$6.2 area. The stock is now back above the 200-day moving average which is very bullish. Let's keep an eye on her as i think momentum will pick up.

( click to enlarge )

US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) looks like a flag forming, which is a bullish continuation pattern. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Shares of The Goldfield Corporation (NYSEAMEX:GV) were up nearly 4.5% or 22 cents to $5.18, reaching during the session a new 52 week high at $5.23. The daily chart show a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. The stock is in a strong bull market with both 50-day and 200-day moving average going up, however in overbought conditions.

( click to enlarge )

Short-term & medium-term bias remains positive for Zillow Inc (NASDAQ:Z). You need to watch the stock closely because it could break resistance soon.

( click to enlarge )

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) If the support holds a move higher could be in the cards.

Wednesday March 13th watchlist


( click to enlarge )


US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) Poised to breakout to new highs. Keep an eye for play over 15.64. Volume & price have risen and this stock again should be on your watch list tomorrow.

( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) Bulls should be enthused at this point by the facts that the stock is still holding above its 200-day SMA, and the daily technical indicators are mildly bullish. The MACD is moving sideways above its signal line in positive zone and CROX has an up trending RSI at 59, indicating further potential for appreciation. Worth keeping an eye on.

( click to enlarge )

Unwired Planet Inc (NASDAQ:UPIP) starting to get some momo once again. I expect a move past 2.25 to take the stock towards the target of 2.7 with stop-loss at 1.87

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) made a powerful move in the last hour of the trading session on decent volume. This strong move allowed the stock to close above its 200-day SMA. My short term target remains at $13.11, but its possible if the stock breaks resistance at that level that it could easily run to $13.50

( click to enlarge )

Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) has made a good move today and closed almost at the peak of 5.935. I will give this one, one more session. Buy stop at $5.97. All the technical indicators look good.

Some interesting setups to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

From a technical perspective, Amazon's stock is in a bull market and showing some signs of wanting to move higher. Tuesday’s intraday high of 276.68 was the highest level the stock has touched in more than a month and is now flagging here. A clearance of this level will open the door for more gains to test the all-time highs. Its daily MACD and RSI are bullish and pointing higher supporting my point of view. On the downside, support resides at the 269.24 level, its 9-day SMA and then the 265.51 level, its rising 50-day SMA. All major SMAs are moving up.


( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) - Price broke out of its consolidation pattern on Friday which leads me to believe that CROX's stock is setting up for another bullish move at least to $17/share, which would be nearly 8% gain. The technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD is positive and above its rising signal line. The RSI is above its 50% level and pointing upwards (buy signal).


( click to enlarge )

Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEAMEX:UEC) The stock has held support on its uptrend line since November with several tests. On Friday, it closed again above the 200-day SMA, signaling bullish momentum. In addition, the accumulation distribution line still rising it means accumulation (buying). The technical chart here says this could be the beginning of new leg up.


( click to enlarge )

Possible Reversal on Uranium Resources, Inc.(NASDAQ:URRE). I have been following this technical chart for some time and the loss of momentum on the downside is signaling a possible reversal trend in the near future. Will watch to see if it can break this horizontal resistance line.


( click to enlarge )

Cavium Inc (NASDAQ:CAVM) Nice jump out of the bull flag on Friday. Looks ready to test the highs.


( click to enlarge )

Active Network Inc (NYSE:ACTV) has started to bounce and broke out from a falling wedge pattern last week closing on Friday above the resistance of 4.8 level. It will need to break through the 20-day SMA to confirm a possible reversal here. The ADX is showing a possible positive cross, validating the positive sentiment of the MACD. On Watch.


( click to enlarge )

Vonage Holdings Corp. (NYSE:VG) On my watch list for next week. 2.84 is the pivot here. If that breaks, we could see 3 quickly. The stock is trading above the major short-term SMA's and the MACD for the stock indicates a strong bullish signal. It's above the signal line and above 0.


( click to enlarge )

US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) Might pause here but looking to add on any dip. LCC’s recent volatility has been greater than normal according to the increased distance between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. The stock is now touching its upper Bollinger Band, which could slow the stock price increase. If you're not long on stock, buying a pullback could be a good play to catch this.

6 stocks to watch in the week ahead

 ( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been forming a bull flag/bull pennant pattern. The stock has a good risk/reward. I'm looking for a strong move up in the near term. From the technical daily chart both MACD and CMF are showing bullish sign as MACD is rising above 0 while CMF is positive. I remain bullish on this stock.

( click to enlarge )

Sonus Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONS) Still holding its 50-day SMA. The stock is consolidating over that level on very low volume, so watch to see if it can clear resistance. The Accumulation/Distribution line is climbing up again. Over the last 6 months, insiders were net buyers of 8.3M shares, which represents about 3.76% of the company’s float. The bullish insiders should indicate SONS stock is really worth buying.

 ( click to enlarge )

Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) displayed some strength on Friday again but volume was not so high as on the previous day. I recommend readers take some profits (1/2 your position) right here. Its daily RSI reached the 80% level. I am not suggesting new bullish positions at this time.

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) is a good stock that can turn in strong gains when starts moving. Honestly, I believe one of those moves began today after closing the day with a gain of 9 cents to $1.83. The strong move came on a surge of volume, which is generally a good sign. Set a stop loss at $1.60

 ( click to enlarge )

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ:ARNA) may have reversed its recent downtrend, closing in the green on decent volume today.  I will give this one, one more session. Buy stop at $9.45. All the technical indicators look good.

 ( click to enlarge )

US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) No position was entered as the stock failed to break $13.2. I will watch it again next week.

I have reached 1500 followers on Stocktwits and soon 3000 on twitter, which is fantastic news !! So guys help me to grow my Twitter. Thank you everyone for following me !!

6 Stocks to Keep on Your Radar Screen

  ( click to enlarge )

Pentair Ltd (NYSE:PNR) continues to sit in a consolidation range. At some point, the stock will breakout and I want to be there for this move. Resistance stays at $45. Fresh long should be made only when the stock closes above this level with an up candle.

  ( click to enlarge )

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) had a strong bullish momentum today gaining more than 2% and ended the day near the highs of the day. Looks like it could try and take a trip to 264 or so if volume comes in.

  ( click to enlarge )

United Continental Holdings Inc (NYSE:UAL) - On my watch list. $21.22 ( 200-day moving average ) is pretty much the pivot here. If that breaks we could see 23 quickly.

 ( click to enlarge )

US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) was a big winner on Tuesday as the stock ended up $.90 on the day. I will be watching the stock tomorrow for a continuation move through Tuesday’s highs of $11.88. Although this trend is encouraging, the near-term outlook stays cautious till the stock closes conclusively above 12.50 on heavy volume. Bulls could remain invested with a stop loss at $9.71. Keep LCC on your radar for Wednesday.

  ( click to enlarge )

It seems that investors are buying back the stock after a healthy pull-back and I do believe the next move higher will take this stock much closer to my short term target of $40. InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) will surprise many people in the weeks and months ahead IMO.

 ( click to enlarge )

In last Saturday's post I mentioned 6 bullish chart patterns to watch this week on the long side and Sarepta Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:SRPT) was one of the stocks I highlighted as a potential breakout play. Sure enough, the stock broke out today in a BIG WAY on 26X normal volume following the release of positive news of the company’s clinical trials involving their Muscular Dystrophy drug Eteplirsen. Here's my blog post from back when the rally started 6 Bullish charts to watch next week .Congratulations to all who profited from this stock.

Trade setups to keep on your trading watch list

   ( click to enlarge )

Back on May 8th, I made Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) my stock pick. Here is the link to my post " ARNA has a lot of upside potential, so watch the stock closely "  and here is a chart of ARNA after I made it my stock pick. This stock is up some 450% over the last two months, and it could go higher yet if sentiment holds. ARNA is overextended to the upside and signficantly overbought, so we cannot rule out a pull back, but at the same time it can remain overbought until it wants to come down. It closed today at $11.68.

    ( click to enlarge )

Sodastream International Ltd (NASDAQ:SODA) - Old alert, 38.80 break out.

  ( click to enlarge )

XenoPort, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNPT) - Old alert. Strong bounce on 2x the daily volume avg. Key resistance is now located at $6, a break above this level will confirm a new bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to $6.35 zone. The RSI is moving higher, which is a sign of growing strength in the stock.

( click to enlarge )

Old alert. US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) recorded a new high in today's session. Short-term outlook for the stock is bullish. Buy  LCC in dips with a stop-loss at $11.73. The technical daily chart looks Bullish with both 20, 50 and 200 daily moving averages going up and MACD on top of "0" RSI in a Bullish area too.

 ( click to enlarge )

Pharmacyclics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCYC) I alerted to my subscribers and twitter folowers at $30-32, today it closed at $47.  It just keeps moving higher on nice steady volume.

 ( click to enlarge )

Zynga Inc (NASDAQ:ZNGA) - After posting an awesome run the stock lost some steam today and looks poised for a pullback in the near term. It has good support at $5.51. If it falls below this level on a close basis, then it can possibly go down to $5. Only a close below $5.51 would negate the short term bullish outlook. The main thing to look up in the chart is the poor volume in this drop compared to the strong one in the up trend. Low volume means the shorts have not capitulated. Stay tuned.

US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC) had a very nice day today, breaking out above the $11.50 level on heavy volume. As long as it can hold this level, it looks good !!

  ( click to enlarge )

Looking at the technical chart of Hyperdynamics Corporation (NYSE:HDY) I think the most important level to watch here is the 50 day MA now at $.99. As we can see, it previously failed at the 1.30 level back in April and it has once again rallied up to this MA. The MACD is moving up showing positive momentum while KD line also show buy signal as %K line is on top of %D line. The 50 day MA needs to be crossed to give rise to the next leg up. Stay tuned !!

   ( click to enlarge )

Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM) broke its 50-day moving average last month.
