Interesting setups that you should watch next week

( click to enlarge )

When the stock market is down, should we buy or sell? Thats always the million dollar question for many investors. Your instinct probably says yes, but looking at this daily chart formation, it maybe wise to buy rather than sell, because of the December effect. While buying the dips can be scary for investors, it's been a great strategy in recent years, especially in this particular season of the year. The rising accumulation line also indicates that smart money is doing exaclty that. Above chart shows what it looks like to be a head and shoulders bottom pattern  or in other words an inverted head and shoulders, which is the first sign that a bearish trend is about to end. The inverted head and shoulders formation represents a decline to a new low and a rally to immediate resistance, followed by a second decline to a lower level, then a third, more modest decline and rally through resistance. However, take note that the index must break the neckline of this pattern located at 2816 in order for it to be a valid inverted head and shoulders. Many market participants and friends are reluctant to believe in a Santa Claus rally this year, but im confident that we will see it happens once again.

Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) stock chart is also displaying an inverted Head and Shoulders formation. The good reaction to bad news "Guidance" is the ultimate indicator of positive sentiment for next week. If a company releases bad news and its stocks are going up, it may mean that all bad news are priced in JMHO. The break of "neckline" resistance next week, could lead to a nice short squeeze and one that will be fun to watch.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) continues to be bought on dips as accumulation chart suggests. The near-term bias remains neutral but a daily close above $22 will shift the bias to bullish.

( click to enlarge )

Watch Real Goods Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGSE) to go higher, the stock had good volume and a nice big candlestick on Friday. This was on my watchlist last week for 51c break.

( click to enlarge )

Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) was over $1.58 last month and closed Friday at $1.03. Insiders purchased more than 40k shares in the last 2 weeks. We could see a sharp rally out of these oversold conditions.

( click to enlarge )

Second Sight Medical Products Inc (NASDAQ: EYES) still in play for me. I'm following the smart money here. Director purchased 6M shares in just 4 months. Plus, the stock is very oversold. This chart shows the velocity of amplitude "move" that stock does, everytime it reaches extremely oversold conditions. On watch for a big bounce.

( click to enlarge )

MTNB stock is holding its ground really well above its key EMAs and the golden cross is about to HAPPEN for the first time in months, which is a strong bullish signal. It could see a nice bounce here.

( click to enlarge )

AEterna Zentaris Inc. (NASDAQ: AEZS) broke out to new highs Friday on heavy volume. The stock has been on fire and 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.

Indexes and stock charts for next week

( click to enlarge )

iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (ETF) (NASDAQ: IBB) finally broke and close above a very significant resistance zone after a few attempts last week. If it continues to be strong we may test 115 and 119.3 over the medium term.

( click to enlarge )

S&P 500 Index also broke above a very significant trendline last week. The key daily momentum indicators continue to show signs of upward acceleration. Expect further upside for US stocks.

( click to enlarge )

PHLX Semiconductor index (SOX) rallied strong again last week to 1363 (key resistance). If the index breaks that level next week, more buying could follow and we will probably test the recent highs. Momentum still to the upside in near term.

( click to enlarge )

Uniqure NV (NASDAQ: QURE) is consolidating its big run-up from early April from the 22 to 32.5 area. It is currently in a bullish flag formation after dipping slightly off resistance in the 32.49 area. Keep an eye on this stock next week.

( click to enlarge )

Boxlight Corp (NASDAQ: BOXL) looks to be turning higher again. The ingredients are here for another strong rally. The hourly chart shows a stock that is right on the cusp of a big breakout. If it can break through the $7 level, then I think the $10 mark could be well within reach. The chart looks to be turning around and I would not be surprised if people started getting back into BOXL in anticipation of another BIG rally.

( click to enlarge )

I've covered MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ: MNKD) in the past, and it appears it is getting investors attention again. The stock needs to break through $1.87 to really get going. A break of that level brings $2.4 into focus. Keep a close eye on this one the next week.

( click to enlarge )

Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLDX) in my view, is a great bottom play. The company announced good earnings on Thrusday that could mark the turning point, after a drop from over $2 a share last month to current levels. I think CLDX will post a nice rally from here and deserves being added to your watchlist.

( click to enlarge )

Tyme Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: TYME) is possibly forming a nice rounding bottom pattern that will breakout soon and shall target 3.27 short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Turtle Beach Corp (NASDAQ: HEAR) continues to impress. The technical chart is extremely overbought, but there is no sign of a top yet. Play with tight stops.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEAMERICAN: VHC) After VHC has hit the $5 level in April the stock took a strong drop, shaking out many longs along the way touching in a new 52-wk low late in the month. Since then, it has recovered and is holding up on strong volume. Those that were not shaken out on the drop seems to be holding and honestly I think this stock could have another run left in its tank.

Stock setups for the coming week

( click to enlarge )

The Index broke last week the rising wedge chart pattern formation to the downside (bearish reversal) that has been formed since the February low. This fact suggests a potential bearish continuation next week testing 2007/2000 region in nearest term. Daily technical indicators are bullish but showing signs of weakness. The MACD is positive but is about to cross below its signal line. The RSI and Slow stochastic are showing negative divergences on daily by failing to touch new highs with the index. I expect the correction to continue for a few more sessions.

( click to enlarge )

Medivation Inc (NASDAQ:MDVN) is getting some buying and looks poised to post some nice gains if the buying volume persists. The stock displayed relative strength Friday and broke out above the previous high, closing the day slightly below the declining 200-day exponential moving average. From a technical perspective, the MACD is moving up showing positive momentum while KD line also show buy signal as %K line is on top of %D line. Continue to keep this stock on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

Siliconware Precision Industries (NASDAQ:SPIL) surged 10% or 80 cents to $8.17 per share on unusual volume. If the stock continues to get attention it could break the $8.25 mark next week, which would be a remarkable gain. Keep a close eye on the stock for the follow through move.

( click to enlarge )

McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) broke above previous highs of 96.20 on really good volume and finished the week at a record high. The stock hit a high of $96.46, which is now resistance for Monday’s continuation move. All exponential moving averages are below turning up for support. I like this stock for a swing trade.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) shares are attractive since its near to the major support level (Yellow Horizontal line). As long as the support is there, I do not think its a problem to include it in your short to medium-term portfolio. I will maintain long exposure, so long as the stock stays above this support level. VHC also has about 24.4% of its shares outstanding sold short, which will produce more buying pressure as shorts run to cover, if and when the stock can break above the $5 zone. Plus, the daily technical indicators are looking better now for the stock. The MACD Histogram and RSI are showing a positive divergence, some hope that we could see a move to the upside. Keep the stock on your radar since it could make a solid move upwards. Stop $3.95

( click to enlarge )

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) On the daily technical chart, the stock seems to be forming an ascending triangle pattern, possibly suggesting extension of the recent recovery. However, some momentum indicators are showing some signs of weakness. This pattern will remain valid as long as the stock remains at or above the rising 20-day moving average, currently situated at 97.96. On the upside, the stock needs to break decisively above the declining 100-day exponential moving average in order to confirm the bullish momentum.

( click to enlarge )

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE:AAP) Volume picking up but the stock needs to break this resistance zone first to me. From the daily technical chart KD line shows positive signals as %K line is rising on top over %D line, RSI and MACD continue moving up. Looks good but I prefer to wait for a clean breakout.

Bull Market comes to stay

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Fantastic this reversal, in the final hour. This is a great signal for Bulls, and for the sessions ahead. If there is one moment that we should not be afraid of the market is now, it's my opinion, based in some factors, as today occurred. Supports worked again. Check this out on the chart above.............

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Research in Motion "RIMM" will push through resistance if Nasdaq makes a move up.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Juniper Networks broke down today. So, let see if tomorrow stock will have legs to enter again into the channel, if not occur, be careful longs.

The decline I was looking for - Be ready for Monday

There is a time where we must think by ourselves and follow our own thoughts, and I can tell that there is no better time than now to enter in the market, even when a lot of people tell you on phone “be careful man”, I said sorry Bears, I’m Bullish and I'll not change my position. Santa Claus Rally is coming and on Friday I started putting my bucks in the markets, for the long and fast run, it’s my thoughts…….This is not written in the stars……… Historically markets never lie..........let's see........

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Nasdaq and SP500 closed near the lows of the day with a Big Sell-Off, both closed just under supports. Althrough there are many fears in the market right now, indices still trading in a Long Bullish Market, its 50 dma are still on top of 200 dma. I think short term bottom is here.....This is the decline I was looking for, I don't believe in a "Black Monday" next week, Friday was more a panik enviroment than anything else.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

YHOO looks strong enough to move forward. Today was a good example !!! Looking at the technical chart the stock has been doing very well recently, as K line is on top of D line with MACD on top of signal line. Now that the stock is above 50 day and 200 day moving average more buyers should be coming.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Sandisk shares plunge on Friday more than 15% to $42.71 as outlook worries some analysts. Stock has now support only at $41.50.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Juniper is losing more momentum, however still trading within the range, keep an eye on JNPR for a possible test of the bottom line.
