Stock setups to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

The technical chart of FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) is showing a bullish cup and handle chart pattern in the final stages, which indicates the stock could be in for a big rally. FORM just needs to clear the handle base. Additionally, the moving averages are supporting bullish trend with the 20 and 50 both over the 200-day moving average and sloping higher. ADX is also suggesting a steady upward movement and the accumul/distrib indicator still shows that somebody is buying up the stock. I'm still holding my longs and will add more shares on a move above $6.55, with the expectation of a continued rise to $7-7.5

Shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) closed up 2.63 per cent at 584 with increasing volumes. Long positions can be considered with a stop loss of 565 on daily closing basis. Initial targets are 590 and 597.

Shares of Pharmacyclics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCYC) closed the day gaining more than 4% to a new historic mark for stock at $54.61, near the highs of the day at $55.43. The stock has been one of the most amazing runs of the past four weeks. I'll be watching the stock next week, looking for a follow through move. As long as the stock stay above $43.31, the short-term bullish scenario still intact.

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) - After setting a fresh yearly high at 13.50 on Wednesday the stock started showing bearish divergences and a few sell signals start to develop. However we are still above key support 8.62. On the upper side, the move is likely to accelerate above $12. Short-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above $8.62

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO) broke out from a rectangle pattern accompanied with decent volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here.

Stocks to watch next week - Aaron Rents, Parker Drilling and Rambus

RMBS caught my eye last month when price broke out of an Inverted Head & Shoulders pattern near 9.91/share and have been watching patiently ever since. I really like this setup and think we could see a continuation to the upside especially if price breaks the 10.79 resistance. Currently price is is trading in a tight range. On Thursday's session there was another spike in volume towards the close along with a strong intraday rally placing momentum in favor of the bulls indicating this pattern could be broken to the upside in the near future. By a technical perspective, stock still trading in a Bullish momentum, with share price above its 20 and 50 dma. Another technical indicator that jumps out at me on RMBS is the short interest percentage. The short interest has decreased about 20% in the last month without a substantial rally. This bodes well for Rambus’s direction in the case of a good rally. I want to buy RMBS if price begins to breach the 10.79 trigger long price, because this breakout could trigger a strong swing near 13 - 15/ share.

PKD broke out of a symmetrical triangle on Wednesday and the volume spiked along with strong move, sign that a new trend could be in play. Price is now trying to break above its short-term major resistance zone at $2.6. From chart, MACD and KD both signal positive strength. However ROC has rose too quickly and is now at overbuy level so profit taking could may start very soon. Hold the stock with a stop at $2.35 if you are a short-term investor. If this support holds, the stock can move higher to 2.60 again.

RTN - Aaron Rents gapped up Thursday and spiked higher in early trade. The stock drifted lower late in the afternoon, but finished up by $0.43 at $29.11 with the second highest volume of the year. The stock broke out to six month high Thursday. The stock might ease off in the near term towards $28. But the long-term outlook will stay positive as long as it remains above $27.22. Technically speaking, both MACD and KD show bullish sign. The stock is trading above 50 day and 200 day moving average, also a bullish sign. The only potential risk is that RSI has already reached overbought level. Corrections that make the stock fall to $28 should be perceived as a buying opportunity.
