This is my watchlist of stocks for Monday 01 Aug

( click to enlarge )

aTyr Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:LIFE) which broke out of a falling wedge on Wednesday and consolidated Thursday, continued to move higher Friday on heavy volume closing the session above the important price level of 3.39. This could push the stock above its next resistance level in the 4 area towards the 4.05-4.35 trading range in the next couple of trading days. This technical set-up appears to be near perfect to deliver good gains. The ADX value is increasing and above the 30 level and +DI is above the –DI indicating development of strong up trend. The MACD indicator is also above its signal line indicating further strength may be possible.


Plus, the insider transaction chart also is showing bullish signal as all transactions have been purchases of stock. In addition the institutions are also bullish, Tang Capital just bought 190k shares in Q1. We could see some impressive movement next week. I took a strong position for a swing trade here (tweeted at 2.96).

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode next week. The Daily technical indicators are looking better for the stock with MACD indicator above its sell signal line, %K line on top of %D line and RSI indicator moving up above the 50% level. This is one for the bottom pickers. Upside volume is picking up and a small rounding bottom is also taking shape. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $5.90.

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) has recovered nicely and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade next week if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $5.11. From a technical standpoint the RSI is coming out of oversold territory, MACD is curling up and Slow Stochs crossover and upward turnaround. The break of the resistance 5.11 with heavy volume should be the next buy point on ZIOP.

Shares of Repros Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RPRX) traded nicely on Friday and I’m looking for continuation of the upward direction next week. From a technical standpoint, the daily chart looks Bullish with all short-term EMAs going up and MACD on top of 0, RSI in a Bullish area too. I'm setting resistance at $2.20, which was the high of Friday. If the stock breaks through, the next resistance lies at $2.4.

( click to enlarge )

MGT Capital Investments Inc. (NYSEMKT:MGT) had a strong bounce off the 2.61 level last week accompanied by a nice pickup in volume. If the stock holds above $3, the price may rise to the 3.30-3.50 range in the short-term. The daily technical indicators are also confirming with positive signs. MACD histogram is starting to rise and the RSI is curling higher.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) We may see some consolidation above the 7.45 level (breakout zone) after the sharp run-up in the past few sessions. The strong accumulation over the past days has shown funds moving into the company and moved share prices upward. I expect the current reversal in trend to continue.

( click to enlarge )

FireEye Inc (NASDAQ:FEYE) consolidated on Friday and formed an inside bar candle pattern above the 100-day EMA support line, which indicates a pause in the up move. Overall the bias still remains bullish.

( click to enlarge )

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAD) has not done much in the past week but continues to manage its bullish consolidation above all major EMAs. A sustained break of $38 should bring the stock price to a test of the recent highs in the $42 area. From a technical standpoint, daily technical indicators are in bullish zones. The MACD is rising and in the positive territory. RSI is above its 50% level and the Slow stochastic is inside its overbought zone. All five EMAs are rising and the stock is trading above them. Watch this "bullish" consolidation for the next directional clue.

As usual on the weekend post, I use some space in my “blog” to talk about the progress of the app I have embraced in the past weeks. Some of you know, others not, this app continues to be FREE of charge, but in the next few weeks this will change and they will start a premium service with a top experience for users. As an investor, people need help in 3 main areas - identifying potential stocks to invest in, figuring out when to buy/sell, stay on top of important information. Frankly, I am hearing from a number of my readers that the Stockal app does a pretty good job of these things. First up, it has news, analyst articles, curated social chatter and respective decision making signals all-in-one-place for most stocks. Then for every stock it can tell you when trader sentiment falls or rises or analyst opinion changes or revenue is predicted to move significantly - pretty much what you need to know to decide whether "now" is a good time. Finally, Stockal's Trending Stocks feed is good for identifying the stocks which are likely to move or are already moving. It's all quite comprehensive! Plus, you can trade directly inside the app itself. Get it for iPhone and Android .

Stocks to Watch for April 15, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) Guys, VRNG's light is shining bright again, just look at the technical daily chart. Upside volume is returning to the stock. Selling volume has been light, while accumulation days have been heavy. The stock closed near highs, which tells us there is more buying. All indicators are in favor of an upward price movement. MACD has generated a buy signal and is currently near to cross the zero line. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here, so keep VRNG on your radar for Friday’s trading day, as there is good upside potential in this move.

( click to enlarge )

Repros Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RPRX) long was a great swing play. I hope you were able to take advantage of the easy gains that the stock provide for us on heavy volume. Stocks that trade the way RPRX did gave us plenty of opportunities to trade in and out for nice profits. If you locked in profits, congratulations!

( click to enlarge )

Alkermes Plc (NASDAQ:ALKS) Will continue to watch this stock. It has a nice gap to fill if it can break through resistance.

( click to enlarge )

Nokia Corp (NYSE:NOK) Nice price movement on solid volume. Next buy when clears 6.22 on heavy volume. Technical indicators are turning bullish. The MACD just initiated a bullish crossover and the RSI is rising above the 50% level.

( click to enlarge )

Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) good relative strength compared to the market today. Looks poised to break its EMA200.

( click to enlarge )

Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:CSIQ) Will watch to see if it can break this falling wedge.

Biotech Stocks to Watch Next Week

( click to enlarge )

Lion Biotechnologies Inc (NASDAQ:LBIO) finally broke out of a triangle pattern to the upside last week. The close near its high on Friday should bode well for the stock in the coming week too. From a technical standpoint, the stock is now trading above all the major short-term EMAs and the MACD finally triggered the buy signal indicating that a new upward cycle has begun. The stock is now going to test the resistance level at $7.92 which is the 200-day EMA.

( click to enlarge )

Esperion Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:ESPR) stock is coiling up in a tight pattern for a move higher. I have highlighted a potential ascending triangle formation which if confirmed would project a target around $35. Also take note that on the daily time-frame the MACD has been moving up and the daily slow stochastics and RSI are both rising, indicating bullishness. Another good point of interest is the high amount of shorts in the stock. Could see a short squeeze possibly to >$33 once the gap is reentered. Watching over 29.5 for a trade. ESPR will move very quickly, so keep a very close eye on the stock.

( click to enlarge )

We finally got the breakout in Repros Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RPRX). Shares rallied past resistance of $1.98 and hit my trigger to open positions. I'll be watching the stock on Monday, looking for a follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) is flagging right here. If we get a breakout from that flag, this stock could see higher prices quickly. I'm using the declining 20-day EMA as resistance. Once the stocks breaks through, we should see a heavy increase in buying. The daily technical chart above shows the momentum indicators have turned up.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) The stock has been one of the strongest stocks the past month as it has traded from $8.66 in Ocotber, up to $14.93 in mid-Nov. The stock has pulled back to the $12.5-13 range and seems to be setting up for another upside move. It was flat for most of the week until it broke out of a triangle formation on Friday. Immediate resistance is at 13.64 (yesterday’s high). A break above that area could trigger further upside recovery testing $14 area. Watch ZIOP on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

The short-term outlook for Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) is bullish. Fresh long should be made only when the stock closes above $2.23 ( 50-day exponential moving average ) with an up candle. We need a consistent move above this key resistance line to continue the bullish scenario testing $2.68 (EMA100).

( click to enlarge )

Clovis Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:CLVS) closed at $32.22 with a gain of 10.49% over Wednesdays close. Congratulations to everyone who profited. I alerted this stock to my twitter followers & readers several times last week before crowd when it was trading around the 27 level. Traders who saw the gold in my alert and took advantage of CLVS 20% climb, then congratulations. This is just another good example of how stocks can rally after they have fallen sharply ;) I sold around $32 as i mentioned on twitter.

( click to enlarge )

KaloBios Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:KBIO) At current levels this stock is pure gambling and I prefer not to gamble. There is too much volatility and the risk is too high in my opinion. Just be careful guys.

Enjoy !!!

( click to enlarge )

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:BCRX) rebounded from the support line located at $1.76 and closed the day near the highs, gaining 6.18% on the session. I'm watching the stock to breakout the resistance level at $2.21. The technical indicators still indicate a bullish tone in short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIGL) showed some strength today despite the market was down. We could see more upside tomorrow on this stock. The resistance level is located at 9EMA which is located at $4.93.

Repros Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:RPRX) opened at the red territory $16.65, but the stock exploded to the upside in the afternoon and closed the day near the highs. Looks good, watch for more upside.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) broke the 200EMA but was unable to close over this level. Despite the bearish market action, the stock performed well relative to the whole market. Technical chart shows a nice bullish MACD cross combined with a strong bounce off the 20-day EMA. This chart tells you that the place to be in INTC is on the long side.
