Good Setups to watch for the week ahead

( click to enlarge )

Cara Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CARA) could be starting another rally as there is tremendous support in the stock (short-term EMAs) and some serious buying coming in. The price has been in a bullish flag formation off its sharp rebound rally since the mid-May lows and it is now near the top of the sideways channel in the 6.42 area. A break through that top would lead to a next test of the 7.8/8 resistance zone. Among oscillators, the MACD is in buy mode and RSI is at 56 levels indicating strength in the current uptrend. If it breaks 6.42 the stock will absolutely fly into the 7's right away. Keep it on your watch list going forward. Could be a high flyer on breakout.

Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) The selloff seen earlier this month appears to be coming to an end, with the price closing above the declining 20-day EMA on Friday. As such, I would be looking for a move back to $14.68 as a good buying opportunity. The stock has a gap and the 50-day EMA resistance above. However, as long as the price holds up above $14.67 level (20EMA), we are likely to resolve this short-term range to the upside rather than the downside. The MACD and stochastic point towards a push higher. Watch the stock closely on Tuesday.

( click to enlarge )

Macy's, Inc. (NYSE:M) made a strong move to the upside and closed above the 20-day exp moving average for the first time since April accompanied with high volume. I think we will see some nice follow through on Tuesday. Daily technical indicators show RSI heading up while macd is also rising. Note, prices are also inside the daily EMAs with the 20-day EMA an immediate resistance. The next major resistance area is around the mid $34 range. Plus, M also saw unusual call activity. Keep it on watch.

( click to enlarge )

OHR Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:OHRP) Consolidating / basing under resistance the 50-day EMA. Insiders are buying a lot of shares at current levels. They must know something positive about the company. From a technical standpoint, the MACD is slowly turning up forming a buy signal. RSI is growing and also giving a buy signal. Watch for a break through the 3.24 price level to indicate that another push higher will occur. Keep it on watch.

( click to enlarge )

Office Depot Inc (NASDAQ:ODP) showing signs of bounce coming MACD cross. The stock is on the verge of breaking out and it could happen very soon. At this stage it is definitely a wait and see if the resistance will be easily taken out by the bulls. 3.56 break out watch.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) showed buying strength all day on Friday. We start to see some signals of rebound as the daily technical chart shows positive momentum is back. If stock breaks 7.51 then the stock can head to 7.84 and if this level is breached then the level of 8.36 is visible. I think its worth adding to your watchlist.

( click to enlarge )

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) jumped 13c or 8%, Friday to close at 1.75, slightly below the declining 100-day EMA. A minor resistance is expected here but if that resistance fails, the further gains towards $1.85 will be expected. Technical indicators are looking bullish. The RSI is moving up and above its 50 level. The Slow Sto continues to trade in the positive zone and the MACD is also turning up. Overall my short-term view remains neutral till a decisive break above $1.80 takes place. On watch.

Bullish setups for Thursday 26th of May 2016

( click to enlarge )

American Midstream Partners LP (NYSE:AMID) had a big surge in price and volume in April when stock price doubled in just 4 weeks. The stock has consolidated over the last couple of weeks in a bullish pennant formation and appears ready for another breakout. The stock hit a high of $12.30 on Wednesday, which is resistance for Thursday’s continuation move. If the stock can break through this level, I expect to see a strong upside move.

( click to enlarge )

FORM Holdings Corp. Common Stock (NASDAQ:FH) broke out in a big way Wednesday on great volume. I think we will see a nice follow through today. A break of $2 with force might give room to 2.26 then 2.75/80 area. DMI/ADX Triggered a new "Buy Signal" for the first time in weeks.

( click to enlarge )

Westmoreland Coal Company (NASDAQ:WLB) broke out yesterday, after it thas been consolidating in the past few months. The stock hit a high of $8.44 on Wednesday, which is resistance for the follow through move. Charts on all time frames are bullish. You should watch this stock closely today.

( click to enlarge )

OHR Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:OHRP) could be in the early stages of a technical breakout. Momentum indicators are showing bullish signals supported by rising MACD and RSI on the daily charts. Some top executives have been acquiring shares for the past few days showing the management is bullish of the company's outlook. Keep it on your watch list going forward.

( click to enlarge )

Office Depot Inc (NASDAQ:ODP) Daily technical chart is showing signs of a possible turn around. In terms of technical indicators, the RSI is starting to rise in the oversold zone while the MACD is about to cross above its signal line. The trend is expected to begin the upwards movements. One insider purchased 14267 shares on Wednesday and July $5 calls had a lot of activity. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over 3.53.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) has bounced nicely from the recent lows. The immediate resistance is around 7.33 which the stock will likely to test in the coming sessions. A close above this range is a pre-requisite for the reversal of the bearish trend. The short interest has been on a decreasing trend, with 2% decrease recently and bringing the interest to 12.58% of the float, while the short ratio (Days to cover the 65M shares) has been increasing for the last 6 weeks. That's the perfect scenario for a short squeeze on any positive news.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) Should breakout hard to upside when it crosses over $5.27

Shares of Office Depot Inc (NYSE:ODP) made a solid 5% rally on today's trading session, breaking out of the ascending-triangle pattern that has formed since June on heavy volume. Looks good for higher prices.

Keep an eye on MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ:MNKD). If the stock breaks above its 50-day EMA on heavy volume, then we will know the next major move up is likely.

( click to enlarge )

FreeSeas Inc. (NASDAQ:FREE) broke above resistance in today's trading session after a small period of consolidation. I still like this stock and will be watching it again on Thursday, expecting to see a continuation move.

Oncothyreon Inc (NASDAQ:ONTY) keeping my bullish bias despite the volatility. With 20-day EMA on top over 50-day EMA, MACD above 0 and RSI above 50% level, the stock is currently in short-term uptrend. Additionally, insiders have been buying the stock aggresively in August. This is a really good sign.There are no reasons for concern.

Velti Plc (NASDAQ:VELT) daily chart seems to have bottomed for now. The RSI is trying to move up from the oversold zone while the MACD and MFI are showing a positive divergence, signaling that a bounce is likely. VELT is a risky stock, but currently presents an interesting opportunity ( FreeSeas Inc "NASDAQ:FREE" is a good example).

( click to enlarge )

The chart of Office Depot Inc (NYSE:ODP) is still looking interesting as it continues to trade within a large ascending triangle pattern with resistance at 4.51. That resistance level is the area to watch closely and close above with volume is a strong buy signal.
