Stocks to keep an eye on January 16, 2015

( click to enlarge )

RADA Electronic Ind. Ltd. (NASDAQ:RADA) has been under accumulation over the last few days and appears to have started another rally today. It closed strong above key resistance at 2.51 on decent volume. The stock has built up strong support at current levels and the momentum shift is starting to take shape as evidenced by the bullish cross on MACD and ADX. If you have not acted yet on RADA, I believe it still provides a tremendous profit opportunity with a stop located at 2.12.

The bullish momentum of VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) continued today. From the chart above, we can see that the stock has found a nice support around the $4.70 level. The surge today brought %K line above %D line indicating that we could see possible rally coming for the stock. Short-term investors can buy with a stop at $4.66 and long-term investors can hold with a stop at $3.98. Let's keep an eye on her as i think momentum will pick up.

Priceline Group Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN) is in a bearish trading condition. The fall in the stock has been extended by the violation of the support line at $1017.28 and as long as the stock trades below this key resistance line stay bearish.

Retrophin Inc (NASDAQ:RTRX) appears to be forming a large cup with handle pattern. Volume looks decent with a potential buy point at 14.49

( click to enlarge )

Kite Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:KITE) has formed a big bearish candle on daily, likely caused by some profit-taking. This signifies trend reversal in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Mercury Systems Inc (NASDAQ:MRCY) had a very volatile movement today. The stock price attempted to push higher, topped at 14.35 before whipsawed to the downside, bottomed at 13.88 and closed at 14.05. This stock is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The stock is currenty facing resistance around 14.43. Fresh long should be made only when the stock moves above this resistance level.

Stocks to Watch for May 23, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) The stock chart shows a reversal day pattern on very high volumes, with the stock price closing near the lows of the day slightly above the EMA50. Stronger volumes on down days remain a concern. The technical indicators are showing signs of bearishness. The 9-day EMA has turned down and the 50-day EMA has flattened. The RSI has crossed below the 50% level, with a bearish cross of the %K line below the %D. In addition, the DI- crossed above the DI+ which is a bearish cross.

I'm watching a possible head and shoulders top formation in shares of LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) on daily. Momentum indicators are supporting the bearish case. In addition, insiders have been selling off enormous amounts of stock recently.

( click to enlarge )

Priceline.com Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN) stock suffered a sell-off today and closed below the psychological level of $800. The technical indicators are also a concern. The slow sto is about to drop from the overbought zone, with a bearish cross of the %K below the %D and the MACD has started to drop, indicating further weakness is likely. Next major support lies at $745

( click to enlarge )

VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ:VVUS) good relative strength compared to the market today. Looks poised to break its EMA200.

Stocks Watchlist For Tuesday, February 28

( click to enlarge )

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) climbs in after-hours after the company released better then expected numbers. The company reported fourth quarter EPS of $0.27, which came in well ahead of analysts' consensus EPS estimates of $0.20. Revenues for the quarter were $67.5 million versus the consensus of $62.56 million. Sees FY2012 revenue of $250 million, compared to Street consensus of $240.6 million. ZAGG has a huge short interest, with 8,763,000 shares sold short that would take 6 days to cover at the average trading volume. We should see a nice squeeze tomorrow and we'll be back above 11-12 for sure. From a technical standpoint the stock is breaking out the downtrend line in after-hours. I'm expecting a gap up tomorrow morning. 

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) broke out to new highs today on 1.3x the daily average volume. The stock has been on fire since December 2010. It is hard to predict how far the momentum will take the stock. If you want to ride the uptrend as long as possible, you can hold the stock with a trailing stop of 8 per cent from the peak or its 20-day mvoing average. I'm using today’s high of $528.50 as resistance for Tuesday. A break above that area could trigger further bullish momentum and keep the bullish scenario intact. The outlook for AAPL stays robust until it stays above $500. Fresh buys can be initiated with a stop at $505.37 ( 13 sma ).

 ( click to enlarge )

Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) B/O into all time highs on expanding average volume.  The short-term uptrend is intact and signals further bullishness on this stock. Buy the stock in dips with tight stop-loss at $32.56.

  ( click to enlarge )

Priceline.com Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN) is trading higher after hours, as the company released strong earnings. Right now, the technical daily chart is in a short-term bullish mode and it is really hard to tell until when it would be.

 ( click to enlarge )

According to my analysis of  FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) history with Slow STO, we should move higher soon.

Stocks Picks for Thursday, February 16

  ( click to enlarge )

Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ:DNDN) has held up better than the other stocks and bounced off the key support line of $13.85 with expanding volume. Short-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above this support. If the stock  can break through Wednesday’s high of $15.50, we should see a strong follow through move. Keep watching DNDN for a bigger move soon.

 ( click to enlarge )

MercadoLibre, Inc (NASDAQ:MELI) - Nice break out today on big volume.

 ( click to enlarge )

InterDigital, Inc (NASDAQ:IDCC) - Something is up...better volume...Looks like it wants to clear the 38 price level soon and we are going to be there when it happens.  Inside trading has been very active over the last month. They are buying now after pausing years. The Money flow index shows money coming in.

  ( click to enlarge )

Tellabs, Inc (NASDAQ:TLAB) - Breaks above 50 sma. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and Sto rising. Volume  2x above average.

  ( click to enlarge )

Priceline.com Inc (NASDAQ:PCLN) - I think stock should pullback to $550 (resistance now becomes support) per share before making the next move. If support holds, then it'll advance again to a new high, but if support fails, then the next level of support is at $537. Any fall below $520 will ring my alarm bells and a break below $505 would signal a definite reversal.

Top Trade Ideas for next week

 ( click to enlarge )

Priceline.com Incorporated (PCLN) broke out to new highs today on 1.5x the daily average volume. The stock has been on fire since July 2010. It's hard to predict how far the momentum will take the stock. If you want to ride the uptrend as long as possible, you can hold the stock with a trailing stop of 10 per cent from the peak or its 50-day mvoing average. I'm using today’s high of $469.74 as resistance for Monday. A break above that area could trigger further bullish momentum and keep the bullish scenario intact. The outlook for PCLN stays robust until it stays above $420.65. Fresh buys can be initiated with a stop at $451.33 ( 10 DMA ).

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had a moderate bullish momentum this week. On daily chart we can see that the bullish power failed to break the $363.01 key level to the upside. However, the bias is bullish in nearest term targeting $364.90 resistance area. Immediate support is seen at $348.60 area. Watch AAPL closely next week and be ready once the stock breaks through resistance.

 ( click to enlarge )

JDS Uniphase Corporation (NASDAQ:JDSU) had a strong move today with very nice volume. The stock hit a high of $27.52, which is resistance for the follow through move. The technical chart shows the stock is in a bull market rally as MACD is on top of signal line and RSI moving upwards. In addition, the medium term trend is also bullish as the stock is above 50-day and 200-day moving averages with both moving averages going up. Next resistance is now seen at $28.16. You should watch this stock closely on Monday.

  ( click to enlarge )

GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM) had a significant bullish momentum this week but the price is now struggling around the trend line resistance indicates critical technical point. Consistent move above $1.21 ( the trend line resistance ) could be a beginning of a new technical bullish reversal at least testing 1.36/1.40 area. Immediate support is at  $1.14 followed by $1.10. ADX is indicating a bullish outlook with +DMI cross above and the stochastic shows also bullish crossover.

I encourage everybody to subscribe my twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.  

Other stocks to watch :

Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc (AMEX:HEB) - Over the past month, company insiders have purchased shares. The stock has huge upside potential if buyers jump in, so watch the stock closely next week.

Banner Corporation (NASDAQ:BANR) - Technicaly speaking, its 50-day moving average has risen above its 200-day moving average. This is an example of what is called a Golden Cross which occurs when a shorter-term average breaks above its longer term average.  This is just one of the bullish signals that suggest BANR could make an explosive move upwards. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $2.59.

Fears of recession hit stock markets worldwide

Stocks slumped worldwide, one day after the FED said the country's gross domestic product could be flat or grow only marginally this year, and might shrink in 2009. According to FED report the positive economic growth is only likely to return in 2010 and predicted further interest rate cuts might be necessary. This news triggered a series of falls in all markets, with European and Asian markets being the most aftected by this tough sentiment. Since the start of the year more than $32 trillion has been erased from the value of global equities as the financial-market turmoil pushes countries from Europe to the U.S. and Japan into recession. People everyday are looking for any kind of positive news to justify the idea of a bottom but there are no positives out there. Whether it's commodities or equities, everything seems to be on a downturn far from a bottom. I never saw something like this, no one cares about the fundamental of the companies, the way is just one "SELL everything".

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

SCHW - The stock has been in a steep decline since September, falling more than 45% from its highs near $28.65 per share. The chart pattern does not inspire confidence and the stock could continue its downward trajectory. In addition, the daily price chart also shows a dead cross where the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, signaling the beginning of a bear market trend. With this in mind, any rally attempt must be considered a bear market corrective rally and not the start of a new bull market trend. Thus, the major direction of this stock is still in the downward direction. Short-term resistances are at $16 and then $16.99.

PCLN was one of the most resilient stocks in the US markets up to June. But the vertical plunge since then has decimated the stock and it is currently trading near its 52 week low at $45.15 recorded this month. The technical chart above shows the stock has been testing the strong horizontal resistance of $58 (on 3 separate occasions) this month. Today, the stock failed again to surprass this key level and the volume traded was quite large, which may be a indication that is too early to break this resistance. The stock is now vulnerable to a drop to the $47-50 range. Remain invested with a stop loss at $50. Only a move past $59.27 would impart a positive trend.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Next week - PCLN, POT, MOS, RFMD, MRVL

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

The stock is pulling back after recent strong move up. If it does not catch support here on its 20 day moving average, look for support at the $16. The technical daily chart above shows that MACD fast line has fallen below slow line which could mean that this stock is losing momentum. Overall still bullish, but negative momentum is on the rise. Stay tuned on Marvell Technology group.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

RFMD - The short term rally ended in June when the uptrend failed to break resistance at $4.27. Since then RF Micro Devices has been losing ground and has lost more than 30% or $1.27 in the last one month since June 9, 2008. Expect the short-term downtrend to test support at $2.70. Given the current economic climate, this scenario is likely. If RFMD breaks this support, the bottom could be around $2.52. The initial target of the short-term downtrend is support at $2.7.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

MOS - Depending on how you draw the uptrend the recent plunge to $130 appears to have broken the uptrend line, but as the margin of the break is very small according to this chart, we need to wait for a clear confirmation with heavy volume. When this loosely drawn uptrend is broken expect a move to $110 level and eventually $98.65. Good luck to those who think this is a buying opportunity based on the patterns from October to June 2008.

POT is holding above the 50 day moving average, closing just under that level Friday. Any close below $209.11 in my view turns this stock medium term bearish. In addition, MACD is very week, heading for zero with falling rally, downside pressure could intensify at any time. So a close below $209.11 would be our next important signal to watch for.

PCLN - Looking at the daily chart, it shows that the 3-month uptrend line was broken recently with heavy volume on this break, which confirmed the validity of the sell signal. There was a recovery, which attempted to retest the trend line, but this move failed and prices headed back down to near the major support at $105. From a technical point of view, the stock is now in a very strong downward momentum trading below the 50 day and 200 day moving averages. MACD and KD als shows the stock is currently in a bearish market.

Stocks to watch next week - JDSU, CSCO, PMCS, JNPR, PCLN, JASO

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

JASO had a fantastic week. This stock should run to at least 25 or more. The technical chart looks really bullish as the 50 day moving average is on top of 200 day moving average. The stock rose 16% or 3.28 cents on Friday and should be expected to go much higher based on technical chart on strong MACD and KD, both showing buy signal as MACD is on top of signal line and K line is on top of D line. Next week stay tuned on JASO.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

PCLN - The stock has a large ascending triangle. The buy point would be when the price breaks $130 on heavy volume.

JNPR is at critical support near 24. Stock could go either way depending on how it deals with a major trendline. Indicators are not famous, such as MACD and KD also show sell signal as MACD is below 0 and K line is below D line.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

PMCS - After the share surge it might be a good time to take some profits, $6.54 is the major resistance and a pull back in share price is very likely. From a pure technical standpoint, the stock has already reached overbought conditions.

CSCO - The technical daily chart of CSCO shows not good news for Bulls. Chart displays a very bearish sign as the 50 day moving average has crossed below 200 day moving average around mid January forming the Death Cross, and is still activated. In addition other technical indicators such as MACD and KD also show sell signal as MACD is below signal line and K line is dropping below D line. So, for now there is no signals to enter long on stock.

JDSU - The stock has broken out of an ascending triangle pattern and looks bullish. The volume confirmed the breakout, as it was greater than average. This chart tells you that the place to be in JDSU is on the long side, however you should be prepared for possibly backtest of the breakout line around $14.

Trade Ideas for today - CROX , PCLN , JDSU

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

CROX is one of the better looking bullish charts that I am seeing. MACD K line also is on top of D line and RSI continues in Bullish territory, so Bulls for now don't need to be worried, stock may find some support at 20 dma.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

PCLN is in a strong BULL Market. Looking at the chart above stock broke out today an important resistance at $79.73 and reaching also a new 52 week year high at $82.15. Let's see if stock will sustain tomorrow this movement. Keep PCLN in your watchlist.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

JDSU has a chart that is looking bearish to me, stock failed to move up after earnings report and shares were down 5% with strong vomule, closing near the lowest level of the day at $13.64. If stock break down $13.50, it can quickly drop to $13 and retest again the lowest level of the year at $12.41.
