Bullish Stocks to Watch for Tuesday

  ( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) - As I mentioned on Twitter, I keep holding my long position in FSLR waiting for something BIG. Special points of interest on daily chart :  For the short term, the stock is consolidating inside a small ascending triangle with resistance at 47.10. If it breaks out of the ascending triangle and close above, target price is at $52. The On Balance Volume is showing positive signs and the MACD indicator is rising above "0" also indicating a buy. Price may still move higher this week.

Shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE:ANR), surged the fourth straight day by adding 3.34% or 76 cents to $23.54 per share. Momentum indicators are bullish now with RSI inching away above the middle level. The strongest sign of a bullish momentum is the MACD indicator which has just started to increase and is above "0". The On Balance Volume is also showing positive signs on the stock. Price is expected to at least rally the next resistance at $25.48 and even go higher to test the next resistance level at $27.70.

ReneSola Ltd. (NYSE:SOL) looks good over $2.60 with volume. The short-term uptrend is intact and signals further bullishness on this stock. 

  ( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) had a remarkable move up with very high volume. This is currently a buy, so buying the dips is recommended as long as the MACD does not move below signal line. Resistance is expected at 3.09. 
  ( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless Inc (NASDAQ:NVTL) is still a buy. The technical daily chart shows the stock is in a rally as %K line is rising on top of %D line as the price is back above 50-day moving average. In addition, the major resistance line has been broken. At this stage, we can expect to see higher prices in the weeks to come. Another bullish indicator is the MACD which has made a cross over and bullish momentum has returned to the stock. The stochastics have turned up and RSI is now back in a positive position. All short-term indicators are in upward path. Next resistance can be found between $3.60 and $3.65.

   ( click to enlarge )

Trina Solar Limited (NYSE:TSL) - The outlook remains positive for the stock as long as it rules above $7.71 ( 50d sma ). Sto has generated a buy signal. Let's keep an eye on TSL as i think momentum will pick up.

Five new Setups To Watch Next Week

 ( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) - The stock price has been moving in a small consolidation range and is now close to the $47 resistance level. ADX is beginning to move up again and this coincides with the gain in momentum. MACD indicator has moved above its signal line and stochastic chart is still in bullish territory. The short-term uptrend is intact and signals further bullishness on this stock. Buy the stock in dips with tight stop-loss at $40. The stock is a short squeeze candidate.

 ( click to enlarge )

American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) - The daily chart shows a rounding bottom, which generally means a stock is going to move up. I set resistance at $27.7 and expect to see follow through once the stock breaks through. The stock has potential for a good upside move, so watch it closely on Monday. 

 ( click to enlarge )

Finally shares of Novatel Wireless Inc (NASDAQ:NVTL) broke the resistance of $3.01 or its 50-day MA. The new bullish trend on my daily chart looks good. Further rally could be seen to retest $3.60 medium-term resistance. As long as the stock stay above $3 area, the bullish scenario is still intact. 

  ( click to enlarge )

The breakout in Power-One, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWER) shares was something that I tweeted early this morning. If you were following my twitter account, you would have gotten the tweet when the stock was trading at 4.66. Technical chart above shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line. Next targets for the stock are $5.47 and $5.86. Only a close below $4.56 (20-day MA) reverses the current short-term uptrend. Now that the stock is above the major resistance more buyers should be coming.

( click to enlarge )

Baidu.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) - Stock broke the symmetrical triangle to the upside on Friday pointing the way for further move up.

AC Investor Blog just hit 1000 followers on twitter !!!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some stocks to watch for Thursdays session


  ( click to enlarge )

Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NKTR) - Great action today. Breaks above 200-day Ma. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and ADX rising. Volume 2x above average.  If we see follow-through tomorrow it might run hard.

 ( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless Inc (NASDAQ:NVTL) had a good move today. The stock broke out the small falling wedge pattern to the upside on increased volume and closed at the highs of the day. This is a trend reversal pattern suggesting a halt in the bearish trend. The stock could touch an upside target of $3.30 in the short term. The technical daily chart shows the stock is now back to uptrend and with %K line above %D line we may see more upside. Let’s see whether the stock can gather enough momentum to break through 3.01 (50-day MA). If the Bulls are able to push through this level, there will be another rally towards 3.30. NVTL will move quickly, so watch the stock closely on Thursday.

Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB) stock holding up well since breaking out last week. Great Volume these past few days. Setting up for higher prices.

( click to enlarge )

Few small caps on the watch list

( click to enlarge ) 

Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELGX) - Could be flagging before next move up. At this stage it is definitely a wait and see if the resistance will be easily taken out by the bulls. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge ) 

Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCLR) has been falling steadily for quite a while, until just recently it started to rebound. The stock is up some 75% off its lows and showing no signs of stopping. I expect its up-move to continue and reach my first price target of $5 in the forthcoming trading sessions.

( click to enlarge )

Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB) - On the daily time frame the volume bars over the last four weeks show the shorts have covered and as a result the OBV indicator displayed a nice spike. The stock  had a very productive day today as we saw gains of over 15% and hit a high of $4, which is resistance for Wednesday’s move. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see a strong follow through move as there is a high short interest in the stock. Watch the stock closely tomorrow.

 ( click to enlarge ) 

Now let’s take a look at CTIC’s activity in the light of the recent successive price increases. The stock is positively reacting to the recent events and is approaching again to key midterm resistance area, the 200-day moving average at $1.44, which typically acts as resistance, so keep an eye on it for a possible breakout. Beyond that, the technical indicators are looking better now for the stock. MACD is rising and the Chaikin Money Flow is positive showing money is flowing into Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTIC).  Long-term investors may hold with a stop at $1.13.

 ( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL) is part of my portfolio and I intend to stay with it. As I said before, the stock is still in bottoming mode it looks like. A breakout from this sideways zone will give an excellent opportunity for traders to pick up long positions. However, as long as the price still in this area, the bias remains neutral in short term. NVTL could be a good short squeeze opportunity on any positive news. The OBV still showing good interest, a reversal may be on the way.

During the day I tweet many times to my readers. I encourage everybody to subscribe AC Investor Blog  twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.

Big movers to watch in the week ahead

This week was another solid one for the market and a great one for Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCLR). Many of my stock picks busted out and gave us solid profits. Here are some of the big movers to watch in the week ahead.

 ( click to enlarge )

This week OCLR's stock gained more than 15%. with the shares closing Friday at $4.17. Today’s intraday high of 4.19 is the highest level the stock has touched in more than a two months. The chart looks really bullish in short-term as the stock is trading above 50-day moving average and the 20-day MA crossed above 50-day MA recently. In addition, both KD and MACD show bullish signal as MACD is above 0 and KD is going up. Any pullback to the moving average would be a buying opportunity.

  ( click to enlarge )

InterDigital, Inc.(NASDAQ:IDCC) was also a winner this week. The stock has been on a downtrend since it reached 52-weeks high of $82.50 in early July 2011.  However, it seems Interdigital stock maybe reversing to a uptrend as the most recent support at 41.06 is higher than the previous support level of 38.51 which show an uptrend. The chart also indicates bullish sign as the 20-day moving average has crossed above 50-day moving average with KD going up and MACD in positive territory. If the stock can keep going up and break the resistance at $49.19 this could further confirm the uptrend.

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ:ARAY) have been rising significant this month, going from 4.20 to $5.25 today gaining almost 25%. The recent spike in price has pushed the stock into a short-term overbought zone. The implication is that a short-term downward correction could materialise and a test of the support zone at $4.7-$4.62 appears likely.

 ( click to enlarge )

Shares of Ciena Corporation (NASDAQ:CIEN) have been going up for 5 weeks now. The stock is now near the red line as RSI approaches the 80 level. It may still move up some cents but I expect a correction any time as I have observed that a lot of indicators have already reached overbought level. Right now it is way too risky for a long position.

( click to enlarge )

Renren Inc (NYSE:RENN) has rallied from below $3.40 to above $4.50 in just two weeks, a gain of over 30%. The technical chart shows very strong upward momentum as the stock is trading above the 50 day moving average with 20-day moving average going up. At this point, I will be a buyer only once it breaks through today’s high of $4.52 for the continuation move. Stochastics are overbought but remain bullish signaling.

 ( click to enlarge )

This stock was not a winner this week but I do not think it will stay here for long. Daily technical indicator OBV still showing support for last couple of weeks. Might be something in the works, but that is speculative until we get real news. Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL) should continue to be on watch and if we break the 3.09 resistance level the stock could retest its October highs.

 ( click to enlarge )

When I first alerted everyone this morning on twitter about FORM, I fully expected a solid run and an increase in share price, but what we got was much more than I could have even hoped for.  Shares of FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) closed the day gaining more than 6 percentage. Its technical chart show some bullish signals as KD is now going up and the stock breaks above the 20-day moving average. With this daily chart bull signal its very possible that we could see a continuation into next week. 

During the day I tweet many times to my readers. I encourage everybody to subscribe AC Investor Blog  twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.

Stocks to Watch Thursday

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) - Breaking out to new highs. You want to keep AAPL on your screen for Thursday’s trading.

( click to enlarge ) 

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) traced out a nice setup and the upside breakout has a lot of power. Volume surged and this breakout looks like it is here to stay. Crossed its 50 day moving average and is probably heading for 49. There looks to be good upside in IDCC, so keep it on your radar the next few days. Some are speculating that Apple or Samsung might have an interest in buying this company. But there are also rumours that Google might want to buy this company. InterDigital owns an incredible number of very valuable patents, which could be a major incentive for a buyout.

 ( click to enlarge )

The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) has been hitting higher highs and higher lows amongst strong RSI price points. In fact, the RSI is showing multiple points of overbought periods. The stock has been on a strong bull market rally as %K line has been on top of %D line with stock trading above 50 day and 200 day moving average and MACD above 0. For the long term the stock should still continue to go up, however with this kind of overbough conditions I prefer stay away for a better opportunity. 

( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless, Inc.(NASDAQ:NVTL) is a bottom play trying to make a shift in trend and momentum. From a technical perspective, the stock shows a bullish divergence on MACD while Stochastic looks extremely oversold. To return to rally mode, the stock needs to cross its short-term resistance at $3.04. A move above this level would be positive for the stock. A reversal above $3.04 will take the stock higher to $3.30 or $3.60. Short term momentum is oversold with a positive MACD divergence. If the stock breaks through, there is a good chance you will see a strong upside move. In terms of fundamentals the stock looks cheap. It has a book value of $5.21 and the stock is trading at $2.95 this may signal that the stock is undervalued. In addition, the company has about $58 million in cash on the balance sheet with no debt. A major wireless company might find Novatel worthy of an acquisition. The stock is also a short squeeze candidate. Stay tuned.

Looks like the Bulls are going to win this fight. Just one more push to change the trend. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) had a great move on the upside today and closed at $17.35. The stock is setting up to break out and has one more level to go, which is $19.19. The stock has good upside potential, so keep watching the stock for further moves.

Five Active Stocks for Your Radar Screen

 ( click to enlarge )

Let’s take a look again at Novatel Wireless, Inc.(NASDAQ:NVTL). Today, the stock traded just like the overall market.It started the day weak, but rallied to go positive and closed at the highs of the day. This could be the start of a trend reversal for NVTL. From TA view, the stock shows a bullish divergence on MACD while Stochastic look oversold. To return to rally mode, the stock needs to cross its short-term resistance at $3.14. A move above this level would be positive for the stock. A reversal above $3.14 will take the stock higher to $3.30 or $3.60. Short term momentum is oversold with a positive MACD divergence. If the stock breaks through, there is a good chance you will see a strong upside move, so watch the stock very closely tomorrow. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow Index is showing a rising move, indicating a rising money flow into the stock. Keep NVTL on your radar for Friday’s trading session.

Despite today’s candle, the overall chart pattern for DNDN looks good. Probably, the stock just needs to consolidate the recent gains from the last few days, but I would say that this up trend will have a continuation soon.The stock price continues to be strong. Chart shows big accumulation. MACD still moving up and is above the zero line. In addition, the momentum indicator MFI still showing strong demand in this upward trend. I suppose we might see some consolidation here before the next leg up IMO.

I told you yesterday about Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB) and today the stock successfully broke the resistance with unusual volumes. This is a very bullish development. Short-term technical indicators are strong and the MACD on the daily chart recently produced a new buy signal. If the stock can break today’s high of $3.74, we should see a strong follow through move. PACB will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

 ( click to enlarge )

Renren Inc (NYSE:RENN) stock seems to have broken above the 2 month resistance of $4 on relatively higher volume. The next resistance that it should try to respect is at 4.50. Looking at the technical indicators, we have the MACD near the Zero Line and RSI Above 50% level. Stay tuned.
 
  ( click to enlarge )
Ciena Corporation (NASDAQ:CIEN) has been going up for 4 weeks now. The stock looks quite intact in its uptrend as long as its value is maintained above the immediate support line. As long as the stock stays inside this channel, the bullish scenario is still intact. Technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line. Next targets for the stock are $14.89 and $15.53. Only a close below $13.50 reverses the current uptrend.

Few setups to keep an eye on over the next couple of days

( click to enlarge )

Shared this one with you guys last night. JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE:JKS) had a very productive day today as we saw gains of over 45% and I believe it has more volume and price appreciation to come in the near-term. Technically speaking, many of technical indicators are looking even stronger, so keep watching JKS trade ! If you also paid attention to my morning's twitter alert and got into TSL, SOL or LDK at the opening bell, congratulations ! Think of me when you spend some of your well-earned gains !!!!

Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ:DNDN) seems in a strong bullish mood and broke today an important resistance at $13.95 on heavy volume. The technical chart is scary good it is making me think of buying more "IMO" this is going to explode all indicators are pointing upwards for the first time in a while and there's a huge gap to be filled. OBV shows strong accumulation and MFI spiked upwards, suggesting strong demand. Technically, there is no resistance above until $22. Great long swing trade imo. Huge volume, multi-day momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL) - Looking a the technical chart, we can see a positive divergences on OBV which suggests that buying is not as pessimistic as the stock chart suggests. The OBV shows a strong positive divergence from the chart action. The company has a market cap under $100 mil with $55 mil in cash and no debt.

 ( click to enlarge )

Oclaro, Inc.(NASDAQ:OCLR) stock will push to $4 next few sessions and consolidate at this level.

 ( click to enlarge )

Pacific Biosciences of California (NASDAQ:PACB) - Long setup. Closed above the 50-MA. Bullish MACD crossover. Still watching it, especially after todays big volume. Full of shorts.

 ( click to enlarge )

Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ:ARAY) - Moved up on decent volume but still has to push through here. If we close above 4.73, we can run to 5 easily.

5 Stocks Worth Watching

( click to enlarge )

Shares of USEC Inc. (NYSE:USU) soared 13% or 15 cents to $1.29 per shares on heavy volume. The stock has had a rough time over the past weeks, but today’s bounce could be the first move to recovery. The technical chart shows the stock is in a rally as %K line is rising on top of %D line as the price is back above 20-day moving average. Another bullish indicator is the MACD which is showing a bullish divergence, while we are not so far to cross his neutral signal. In addition, the short-term downtrend line has been broken. At this stage, we can expect to see higher prices in the days to come.

( click to enlarge )

Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL) has been under pressure recently but in the last sessions the stock reversal its trend. I like the chart formation for this stock and expect to see a stronger breakout move. Resistance is now $3.29. Keep the stock on your radar for the next few trading days. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see a strong upside move. I notice that +DI is also above –DI, which indicates a continuation of the up trend.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) - On the tehcnical chart the present uptrend is getting confirmed as the days go on. The major trend is still bullish as we can see on the chart above. I'm using today’s high of $668.15 as resistance for tomorrow. A break above that area could trigger further bullish momentum towards $680.

 ( click to enlarge )
 
Denison Mines Corp. (NYSEAMEX:DNN) broke a key resistance level on a volume expansion. Watching for a close above $1.41
  ( click to enlarge )
 
Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI) broke its 50-day MA today on strong volume and could eventually rally up to test $1.5 area. In addition KD also indicate positive momentum.
