Good morning everyone. When I mentioned ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAD) on Monday the stock had just breached the triangle’s resistance around $1.90 and yesterday it closed at $2.19. This jump has also helped the stock breach its immediate resistance level of $1.91. Moreover, there was an increase in daily volume in the past three trading sessions, which is a very Bullish sign The stock hit a high of $2.20, which is resistance for today’s trade. If the stock can break through this level, I expect to see another strong upside move.

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) has made an awesome move on Wednesday breaking out its resistance level. Plenty of room to upside.

Extremely bullish moves on Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) are taking place over the last session’s. On Wednesday, the stock jumped four per cent with good volume, conclusively penetrating its 200-day moving average. MACD has generated a buy signal and is currently above the 0 line. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here, so keep it on the radar. The next major resistance is located at $21.43.

Let’s now take a look again at Banner Corporation (NASDAQ:BANR). I notice that the Accumulation/Distribution indicator still growing, it means accumulation (buying). The stock has been consolidating sideways for 3 months now after a good run up since December 2010. Fortunately, the stock could be set for another move higher as it appeared to have formed what looks like a symmetrical triangle during this consolidation process. A break above the triangle’s resistance mentioned in the chart is all we need to confirm the chart pattern. Honestly speaking, I’m bullish with this chart pattern given the fact that the short-term uptrend is intact. In addition, the MACD is back in positive territory and the stock price is above the 50 and 200 moving averages. Personally, I’m actually expecting a breakout soon. I may be wrong, but I have seen many stocks rise upon breaking out from triangles like this. Keep this stock in your radar list.

Wednesday marked an important shift in Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ:SYMC) shares as they closed above a major horizontal resistance line that has been forming since Januray. The stock was one of the big winners on Wednesday, closing up 81 cents on the day. SYMC traded heavy volume as it hit a high of $18.97. This high is resistance for Thursday’s continuation move.
