Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:KPTI) has been consolidating in a large bullish pennant formation above the key short-term exponential moving averages (9,13,20 and 50) which is a sign of strength. Break of resistance at 9.30 area could lead to a new short term momentum toward 13. The OBV continues to rise since the consolidation started mid-March, which suggests accumulation.

Stock Picks for Wednesday, November 3

( click to enlarge )

On daily chart above we can see that the stock price had a nice bullish momentum after break above $12.25 area. The resistance line failed to hold the bullish power. The bias is bullish in nearest term testing $12.60. A Break above that area could trigger further upside testing $13.50. By a technical perspective, the stock still trading in a short-term bullish phase and the technical indicators still have some room to run to the upside before hitting overbought conditions. Keep an eye on NVDA for a possible breakout over $12.60.

Shares of NutriSystem Inc. (NTRI) surged 9% to $20.51 per share after posted better-than-forecast results for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30. Looking at the technical chart we can see that the stock broke out of a consolidation range on heavy volume. I'll be watching the stock again on Wednesday for a continuation of this breakout. The daily chart of NTRI shows a positive MACD crossover with both histograms and RSI moving up nicely.

American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (NYSE:AOB) is a low volume small cap stock that may be poised to move higher. The stock has been consolidating in the range of $2.60 to $2.8 for the past trading month and could be close to breaking out. The stock faces strong intermediate-term resistance at $2.80 and this level needs to be crossed convincingly to signal a reversal in the long-term trend. The technical chart above shows the stock is in a rally as %K line is on top of %D line.  A break above resistance should at least push the stock to $3.20 per share where the 200-day moving average is. Investors can hold the stock with a stop at $2.60.

Other stocks to watch :

Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG)  surged 7.45% or 0.03 cents to 0.505 cents per share leaving many investors wondering why the stock was up with no news. The stock traded on huge volume Wednesday providing good liquidity for those that like to trade in and out. Investors with a long-term perspective can buy the stock in declines with a stop at $.47.

Stocks to keep an eye on !!

( click to enlarge )

The outlook for Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) is now positive and a move to 14.50-14.75 appears likely. The positive outlook would be in force as long as the stock remains above the 50-day moving average (now 14.04). Remain invested with a stop-loss at $14.04. The technical daily chart show a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI trending upwards.

( click to enlarge )

Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:LVLT) has recovered from its yesterday's low of $.95. The current rally should at least push the stock to $1.07 per share where the major resistance is. The stock needs to close above this level to indicate a continuation of the rally. If this rally fails, there’s a new downside risk. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop-loss at $.95.

( click to enlarge )

NutriSystem Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRI) mentioned here some times is on the cusp of a breakdown. But until it goes beneath it is just a pattern in formation and nothing more. Looking at the technical chart the near-term trend is bearish and the stock faces resistance at 18.45-18.50. A close above this range is a pre-requisite for the reversal of the bearish trend.

( click to enlarge )

I've mentioned THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) for the bulls out there. I stand by this position. The stock made a nice move today and looks ready to continue on Thursday. The Stochastic Oscillator is registering a strong bullish signal as the %K has crossed above the %D. The nearest trend is in favour of Bulls and THQI has room to go higher. If the stock can break through $3.77, we should see strong volume drive the stock higher. You need to watch the stock closely because it could break resistance soon.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - GS, NOVL,RNWK, NTRI, NVDA

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NVDA - Nvidia gave us a small move on Wednesday, which could be the start of a bigger move. If the stock can break through Wednesday’s high of $20.66, we should see a strong follow through move. This move would break the trading range, and should drive the stock back towards highs. Although the stock didn't perform well since the start of the year, we should see a rebound very soon as the technical chart now shows positive momentum is back as MACD is above 0 and K line is on top of D line. In addition 20 day moving average and 50 day moving average seems both are stabilizing which is a very positive sign.Keep watching NVDA for a bigger move soon.

Mowrey and Buckingham have a 12- to 24-month price goal of $47 for Nvidia. Click here to know more.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - $19.18, down 9%. Range was $20.23 to $18.92. This stock cooled down today, after the earnings report. I had not expected this action, as I thought it would continue higher today. At least today’s drop was on low volume for a usual earnings day. The chart is now a little mixed, but I'm still convicend is too early to start selling. The K is just below the D line, so technically we had the bearish crossover today,but it could be just a small violation.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RNWK is technically in uptrend. But looking at the chart above is hard to intepret the next possible move. Furthermore, it is moving really slow. Entry point would be on the day it blows through $6.30 on heavy volume.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NOVL - The stock continues to have great support at $6.28 on its 20-day moving average. Today, the stock closed above its 50 day EMA ($6.39) again. I would look for a move up to $6.58 resistance tomorrow. If it passes that, there is very strong resistance at $6.86 coming up next.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

GS - Stock broke through resistance at $181.75 accompanied with high volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here. This stock should run to at least $196.50 ( 200-day moving average ).

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Wednesday - ELN, LXK, NTRI, RMBS

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

Rambus was in focus today after has scored another legal victory in its long-running battle to collect millions of dollars in royalties on its patented designs for computer memory chips. A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Trade Commission didn't offer enough evidence in accusing the company of engaging in monopolistic behavior. This is GREAT !!! Looking at the daily chart above it shows this is the time to place your bet here as many technical indicators show buy signal. Although MACD is a little big weak, any rally should easily bring it back to bull market. Another one KD show buy signal as K line is again on top of D line. The stock has been back on uptrend since early March and now with stock back above 50 day and 200 day moving average and K line rose back above D line we will probably see more positive thing happening to the stock.

Latest News on RAMBUS : IBM licenses Rambus cell , Click here to know more.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

ELN is moving in a nice upward channel pattern, near the top of the channel, which could be a good time to close some long positions. Nevertheless, The technical chart looks really positive as 20 day moving average has just crossed on top of 50 and 200-day moving average. In addition with MACD on top of 0 showing bull market and KD at high level the stock should kept going for now. Keep an eye on her.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - They have broken up here and present a nice buying opportunity anywhere near 20, but they report earnings tomorrow. I hate holding stocks over earnings, but this looks like a nice chart. According to the chart above buyers remain in control.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

LXK - Lexmark shares fell today as investors digested the weak 2nd-quarter outlook. Looking at the daily chart, the stock broke its uptrend line and K has crossed below D line, both bearish signals. Nevertheless, the stock could find some support here near of its major moving averages, but the trend is now in favor of Shorts. Let's keep an eye on it.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - NTRI, FSLR, HLF, AAPL

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

AAPL - Chart is printing a strong Bullish movement after stock has broken the key resistance area of $155. The technical chart shows the stock has just entered into a bull market as the stock is on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average. In additon, MACD also shows buy as MACD is on top of signal line. This chart is clearly telling us that the place to be in AAPL is on the long side, however you should be prepared for the possibility of a pullback to test the breakout line. I expect a continuation of the upward movement.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

HLF - It looks like a possible head and shoulders formation but for the pattern to be complete, the HLF would have to make a close below $46. If the stock closes above its upper resistance trendline ( white mark on chart ) then the possible formation will be negated, and we should see a rally to its 52-week high. Stay tuned on her.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

FSLR - I would like to point out another stock to you which may have potential for a good return. The chart above is First Solar which has been consolidating for a while after a good uptrend. It is now at the top of the range and any break above $300 would signal more buying.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI - The stock is in a breakout mode, which was instigated with the move above $19.90. To invalidate the breakout we need to see it trade below $19.90. So far we are holding very well above this area. This stock should fill the gap somewhere around the $23 range, within a week or so.

HOT Breakout stocks to Watch this week - AMZN, NTRI, PMCS, EXPD, MA, BIDU

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

BIDU - On the technical side, the chart looks very good here. The stock broke through $320 resistance on Friday, and is trading above all of two major moving averages. Plus, the MACD is positive and rising. Nevertheless the risk of correction has increased as RSI is approaching overbought level, but any correction will probably mean buying opportunity at current technical trend. After this breakout the target zone is now $418.

MA - Stock broke through resistance, but was not able to gather must momentum. Traders should continue to remain cautions and pre-define stop loss and targets. Hold with a stop-loss at $226.29.

EXPD - The stock broke out of a horizontal rectangle pattern on Friday with increased volume, which is very bullish. The technical chart shows the stock has just entered into a bull market as the stock is on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average. Plus, MACD also shows buy as MACD back on top of signal line. I believe this stock can run higher from here.

PMCS - The stock looks bullish as it has broken out of a small ascending triangle pattern.

NTRI - The breakout was accompanied by good volume. For the coming week, price would probably trade between $19.90-$23. The technical chart shows the stock has been in a bull market since begin of April as the stock has been on top of 20 day and 50 day moving average. In addition MACD also indicates bull market as the MACD signal line has been on top of 0 since mid March.

AMZN - Stock broke through resistance at $79 accompanied with high volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here. Technical indicators such as KD and MACD also show buy signal as K line is on top D line and MACD fast line has just crossed on top over slow line.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - SIGM, NTRI, RFMD, GOOG, LVS

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

LVS has been in a corrective phase since the beginning of this year along with the rest of the US equities. LVS was a nice play on the short side after have broken the support line this week, however it looks like there is more downside here. Short term momentum indicators, like MACD, RSI, Stochastics are substantially oversold but have yet to show technical signs of a recovery.

Google on Thursday posted a better-than-expected profit. Company said first-quarter net income rose to $1.31 billion, or $4.12 per diluted share, from $1 billion, or $3.18 per share, in the year-earlier quarter. Excluding one-time items and stock option expenses, profit was $4.84 a share, ahead of the average Wall Street forecast of $4.53 per share. Shares past the $500 mark in extended trade. So be prepared for a gap up tomorrow morning. The 200-day moving average should act as the first resistance level. It will be a fantastic day for longs......

RFMD was one of the stocks that was definitely affected by the NOKIA earnings. However the drop and volume don’t mean something bad as I initially thought, this could be a good indication that sellers are now convinced that bad news are already well discounted. RFMD has formed a symmetrical triangle with resistance at $2.95. The stock is now in a short term bullish momentum, after it has past the 5 day MA and MACD is now above the signal line. Average volume is around 4M, a good break out volume should be above 9 Millions.

NTRI - On a shorter-term basis, the stock NTRI is displaying a bull-flag pattern. Confirmation of this pattern will take place when stock moves above the upper line. Watch NTRI closely on Friday.

SIGM - Sigma Designs has a mixed technical profile at the present moment. Intermediate trend is down. The stock recently broke below its 50 and 200 day moving averages. Short term momentum indicators are substantially oversold and are now showing technical signs of recovery. The break of the resistance line at $20 with heavy volume should be the next buy point on SIGM.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Thursday - NOK, AAPL, NTRI, RIMM

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

Research in Motion (RIMM) looks like its trading in an upward channel here. The immediate support is at $114.22 and resistance is at $124. Technically the stock is in a strong bull market with 50 day moving average on top over 200 day moving average and with K line again on top of D line. I think the stock should continue to go up.

Early in the morning I was surprised with the coverage that one analyst of Lehman gave to Nutrisystem. " Lehman Brothers analyst Karen Howland started coverage of Nutrisystem at "Underweight," and said the company's upfront payment of $300 for a month of meals may be too much for Americans who are trying to save money." Well, guys, this is really interesting to read, mainly the timming of the coverage. All of us know that the stock is presently very well technically near to breakout an important resistance of $19.90. Besides that, he has not mentioned nothing (Of what I have read and seen) related with the actual forecast that last week company reported to the market, which topped Wall Street estimates. In addition, I think he also forgot to mention some key factors, like no debt, new product line, new expansion to Canadian market, beating Q1 estimate and shares buyback.The timing of the coverage comes in a moment where we could see some signals of turnaround in the US economy due to the cut taxes. Well, he is an analyst of market I'm not, however I don't need to agree with him, and currently I don't agree. Technically stock is trading in a true bull flag and should have a sharp move higher if it can clear the flag area.

AAPL - On Wednesday the stock closed above the 200 day SMA for the first time this week. The technical chart shows mix signal with MACD above 0 showing positive sign but with the 50 day moving average below 200 day moving average. If K line can break above D line we may see some rally to $159.69. Keep an eye on AAPL because with stock now back above the 200 day moving average more buyers should come.

NOK - On Wednesday company will report earnings. According to the Thomson First Call summary, analysts expect Nokia to post a profit of 57 cents a share on $19.84 billion in sales. Looking at the daily chart, the stock has been in a sold trend recently and has held up pretty well today. It has been very reliable in bouncing off the 20 dma as shown the chart. Next move on stock will depend of earnings report. So, stay tuned on her tomorrow morning.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday - GRRF, DNDN, NTRI, NVDA, CYTV

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

CYTV ( Requested by Denise ) - The stock is having trouble to cross through the 20 day moving average since mid February. Technically in downtrend. But hard to intepret the next possible move. Furthermore, it is moving really slow. It's strange that the stock has basically gone nowhere since the begin of the month, moving into a sideways pattern. Hold with a stop-loss at $0.055.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NVDA - Not a pretty picture. Stock in a downtrend mode. Major support is now at $17.31. The stock is still in very weak market as 50 day moving average is still declining and RSI is still below 50.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI has confirmed my previous analyse. From here we can expect a run to the $19.90 area and from there we could see an explosive upsurge to $23 and better. Stay tuned.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

DNDN - This stock is sitting right around the 50 dma. This stock has some support around the $5.25 range. Any close below support at $5.25 would be highly negative and DNDN may move towards short term support zone of $5. Traders should continue to remain ruthless and stick to their pre-defined stop loss and targets. Hold with a stop-loss at $5.

Here is another stock that I'm still watching closely, China Grentech GRRF. The company manufactures and sells wireless products and services to telecommunication companies inside China. This is a micro-cap stock that is a speculative play on a wireless trend inside China that likely will prove to be a national trend for many years to come. It currently has $30 million in cash and a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 7. I'm watching closely and will likely take a position in. It could ignite shares at any time, and provide some great short-term trading. Technically speaking, the stock is still trading within an upward channel. The share price is now perched just above the crucial support level at $5.08. A close below this level would spell weakness. This could result in a drop to the $4.50-$4.25 range subsequently. A close above $6 ( 50 dma ) would negate the bearish outlook and provide an upward momentum to China Grentech. Stay tuned on her.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for next week - CIEN, CHINA, HANS, FSLR, NTRI

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI was one of the best performances over last week on Nasdaq, gaining more than $5 in two days . Nutrisystem on Tuesday announced a better-than-expected first-quarter sales forecast and set a transition plan for its chief executive post. Company said it expects to post first-quarter revenue of $216 million and operating profit of $21 million to $24 million, ahead of Wall Street estimates. From a technical point of view, the company may be able to recover lost momentum after declining for the past 9 months. Since the highs of $74.09 in July, shares have fallen more than 70%. At this point, there is a high level of probability that we have seen the bottom, and stock may be ready to go higher from here. A long position now should be seen as the best idea for stock. The level of short interest, also might prompt in future more rallies like we saw on Tuesday. The fundamentals are improving, the international expansion plans are in place and the better-than-expected outlook showed signs that the company had room for growth. As you see, there are realistic reasons to believe that the worst may be behind us, and this could be a good time to back up on stock again. The recent decline should be seen as a healthy movement after the huge spike in share price that easily brought all indicators to overbought conditions. So, for the coming days I expect a continuation of the upward movement, to fill the gap around $23. With MACD above 0 and K line above D line, once the profit taking is over we should see the stock continue to go up strong.

Fresh news for NTRI -
Diet company NutriSystem Inc. will replace Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. on the S&P SmallCap 600 on Tuesday, Standard & Poor's said Friday. Click here to know more. With a low PE, tiny float and a high short interest, it seems like everything is perfect for a pop Monday.

FSLR - The stock looks to be forming a bullish flag here. Buy point is on the day it breaks the upper line on heavy volume.

HANS fell out of the $37 support, but true support is near $34.44. If this level falls it will probably head to $32.50 at least.

CHINA - CDC Corp. shares are trading in a long sideway since January. I dont know what direction CHINA will take after being in a long sideway movement and I cant find any helpful tool that can indicate what way the price will go. MACD and RSI are losing some ground but both are still in neutral zones without any indication to sell. One of the weakness is KD where K line is still below D line and when the KD trend reversed it would be a great time to buy.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

CIEN - The stock is still trading within an upward channel. MACD is starting to get bearish though but it looks like moving averages are providing strong support. CIEN is coming back to test support near the breakout area $30. The stock price is looking good if tech bounce here.
