Great looking setups to watch next week

Dearest readers,

I wanna start by thanking all of you for following me on Twitter. Last week I achieved one of my main goals for this year by reaching the fantastic milestone of 100000 on Twitter. I can't thank you enough for your continued support, you guys are the best. 

Trading stocks is not easy for beginners or professionals, it is really very hard and requires a lot of attention and knowledge. If stock trading was easy, everyone would be doing it. You can be successful at the stock market, with patience, discipline and a good trade set-up. The key objective is to make money and not lose it. Do not be hasty to buy or sell a stock, every day there are new opportunities to make money. Being patient is the key to the success of any trader.

Virios Therapeutics LLC (NASDAQ:VIRI) has been falling since the first trading day from over $16.5 to $6.45 and finally it seems to be bottoming. Last week broke the primary downtrend line on decent volume is now touching the $8 area resistance that it should be broken very soon. I have been accumulating this stock for a run to $10.80 at least. If you haven't added VIRI to your watchlist, now is the time.

Vislink Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:VISL) broke on Friday above its recent high and rose to $3.86 hitting the highest price in seven months. Further rally could be seen to retest $4.5 long-term resistance. As long as the stock stays above the EMA200 located now 2.42, the bullish scenario is still intact. Technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line. Next targets for the stock are $4.5 and $4.62. Only a close below $2.86 (9-day EMA) reverses the current short-term uptrend. Now that the stock is above the major resistance more buyers should be coming. Long setup on watch.

Strong reversal Friday on heavy volume, forming a nice big bullish hammer candle. Such a bullish candle is a signal that the momentum is reversing, so the downside price action is limited. The next level to watch is now: $13.5, breaking that level should initiate a new buying wave up to 14.50

( click to enlarge )

Sellas Life Sciences Group Inc (NASDAQ:SLS) After a solid breakout on rising volume SLS has pulled back to support near $9 and should set up for its next upside move. Things are now beginning to turn in favor of the Bulls. The MACD confirms the recent jump and daily RSI also shows that there's more upside to come. SLS should be watched closely, it could pay off big if it shoots up from its current level. Keep a close eye on SLS because once it does move, it should be a good one.

( click to enlarge )

MARPS was up on Friday and I am keeping it on the list for next week. With the continued rise in oil prices, this small energy and low float play could see another big push to $9 On my fireworks list.

( click to enlarge )

Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPDN) failed to continue its bearish correction on Friday showing inclusive relative strength. On the daily chart above we can see that the price is now testing the major key resistance level indicating a critical phase. A break above the resistance could trigger further bullish pressure testing 3.3/3.40 region and could potentially end this large sideways trading range. Im long before it explodes higher.

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) has been recovering from its recent sell off and might accelerate the short-term momentum further towards its next major hurdle near the 14 mark with some intermediate resistance near the 13.67 Key hourly momentum indicators continue to show positive trends.

( click to enlarge )

Akerna Corp (NASDAQ:KERN) The stock had a nice breakout and I am looking for it to continue next week. Any pullback to pivot is buyable.

( click to enlarge )

Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:FCX) Resistance remains at $32.5 and I would be a buyer on a break above that level for a trade.

( click to enlarge )

Castor Maritime Inc (NASDAQ:CTRM) made a strong upside reversal Friday on heavy volume. Expect an initial run up to 90c with a break higher moving to the $1.2 zone. SL 60c

( click to enlarge )

I've alerted my Stocktwits/Twitter followers about the potential upside movement in BRN shares on Friday morning one hour after the opening bell around the 2.85 level. The stock has come up to my expectations as it was among the top gainers of Nasdaq and closed up 17.33 percent at $3.25. These gains are really significant and represent substantial profit for investors who took advantage of my alert early, before the market caught on. The stock needs to take out the  resistance at 3.74 to continue higher. Keeping it on the list.

( click to enlarge )

Coty, Inc. (NYSE:COTY) waiting for a break above the 7.86 level for a long position. The stock is up against a lateral resistance level and expected to break out. COTY just turned bullish on charts. Daily MACD is positive and above the signal line. RSI is also moving up and above its 50% level. I think the stock has room to go higher.

Small caps have been on everybody's radar last week, my watchlist for the week ahead

 Dearest Readers, 

I would like to thank you once again for your cooperation and support during the last few weeks, with a high increase of followers on the blog and a great increase in the number of followers on twitter that has almost reached 75,000 followers. As some of you may have noticed, last month I hit 96,000 followers on Stocktwits which was a huge achievement for me. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you.

I will also take this opportunity to inform you that my Twitter profile has been cloned over the past weeks/months by imposters that duplicated exactly all my tweets, images and purchasing followers to be popular in the eyes of newbie investors. These scam artists are trying to use my name and send people messages to sell products.

Please be aware:

- I just have 1 Official Twitter account @ACInvestorBlog currently with 74k followers and more than 124k tweets following just 294 people. 
- 1 email account antonio.mrcosta at gmail com 
- 1 blog and 1 verified Stocktwits account with more than 96k followers.


Everything that you find on the internet that does not match these metrics are not mine and please report to Twitter. Together we can win this fight or minimize their strength. Thanks all so much….i continue to receive a lot of emails everyday, sorry for the delay of reply, i'm doing my best but I don't have time to answer everybody's questions about trading or anything else. 

( click to enlarge )

Urban One Inc Class A (NASDAQ:UONE) was a stock I alerted my followers at 3.80, closed yesterday with a gain of 71.28 per cent largely driven by the Trump news in the final hour. I'm still holding the stock for next week. A short term target of $10 is not out of the question considering volume and price action on Friday. From a technical standpoint, the stock printed a strong bullish reversal successfully breaking several resistances lines and closed back above the 200-day EMA for the first time since August, which is a strong bullish signal. Considering the strong volatility of the stock due to its low float, it is necessary to act with a precise timing.

( click to enlarge )

Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (NASDAQ:IPDN) was another stock that reacted very well to Trump news that deserves your attention going forward. With some buying volume this stock could soar just like UONE. The stock broke a large falling wedge pattern on the 4h time frame on Friday, and after a few attempts. These lotto plays are the riskiest plays, but also can be the most lucrative. As you can see on the chart, next major resistance lies at 1.78 followed by the 2.20 area. IPDN will move quickly, so keep it on your screen on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

SilverSun Technologies Inc common stock (NASDAQ:SSNT) is a stock that is still flying under the radar of so many traders. I think right now SSNT is forming a solid base for a substantial move while MACD is crossing up. Small caps are getting explosive, and I don't think it will be any different with this one. If the stock holds above $2.40, the price may rise to the 3-3.2 range again in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(NASDAQ:SNSS) looks poised to breakout these next few weeks as attention appears to be returning to the stock via price gains, volume, and press releases. Orphan Drug designation received yesterday. It rallied 16% and  looks to continue its winning ways on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Genius Brands International Inc (NASDAQ:GNUS) volume was sharp on Friday and we could be looking at the beginning of another big rally. I think this stock will get more attention as the volume and money flow increase. As I always say, follow the money and the money looks to be flowing into this one. With continued buying pressure I am looking for this stock to hit and pass its exp 100-day moving average. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

Arca Biopharma Inc (NASDAQ:ABIO) I suggest you keep this stock on your radar. At some point I think it will post another impressive rally. One positive sign comes from insider transactions as company Chairman of the board bought a total of 18,000 shares last week. Generally, when insiders buy shares, especially in large amounts it is a sign that positive things are coming. If it can keep going up and break the resistance at $4.68 this could further confirm a new uptrend. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

I continue to watch  DPW Holdings Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:DPW) The volume is still large so the stock could potentially break out again at any moment. I think this stock will get more attention as the volume and money flow increase. Go long on the break of Friday’s high.

( click to enlarge )

Vislink Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:VISL) Another potential bounce play. The technical indicators are showing some signs of an upward reversal. A rally above the 20EMA on volume can push the stock higher to 1.69 and 2 in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:SHIP) it's just a matter of time. I'm buying while it's cheap, and just holding. Shipper season around the corner and positive divergences on daily charts supporting also a big bounce ahead. Hudson Bay Capital Management LP added 585,000 shares last month. Huge gap over 55c. 

( click to enlarge )

Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ:DGLY) This stock broke out last week the large falling wedge pattern on volume and is in buy range. I think the stock should resume the upside during the week ahead.

( click to enlarge )

I've been following  Kodak (NYSE:KODK) for a few days now and surprisingly the stock showed a lot of strength Friday. Any close above the 9.69 with force might give room to $11 (gap zone). Possible reversal pattern forming.

Technical Chart Setups for the coming week

Dearest readers and followers, 

Before starting to share trade ideas for the coming week, I would like to inform you that this will be the last weekend post before my vacations that will start on August 1st and end on 28th of the same month. I will travel this summer to Algarve avoiding planes and everything that involves a lot of crowd interaction. It's time to help the tourism of my country giving them some hope. If all of us do the same, we can minimize the impact of the current downturn. I will use the vacation time to spend some productive time with my family, relaxing, rejuvenating, and forget all about the stresses of work. I don't believe that vacations are luxuries. They are our necessities just like anything else, make us feel happy, stress less, refreshed, energetic, helping us to explore the essence of living in peace and communion with those we love the most. If you also go on vacation, happy holiday to you. Enjoy your time like the flakes of snow, nothing is certain or solid in this world. 

Thank you for reading this blog that means so much to me. I get excited anytime any one of you leaves me a comment or just sends me an email sharing an experience. May God bless you and have a wonderful vacation.

Party City Holdco Inc (NYSE:PRTY) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode next week. The daily technical indicators are looking better for the stock with the MACD indicator above its sell signal line, +DI is on top (the trend is up) and RSI indicator moving up from the 50 level. Plus, upside volume is also picking up and a rounding bottom is taking shape. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $1.59

( click to enlarge )

We are on the verge of a possible breakout in the shares of Vislink Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: VISL). The stock is finishing up its consolidation phase and the new bullish trend on my daily chart looks good. Volume was on the light side, but once the stock breaks out we will see an upturn in buying. Key resistance is now located at 75c, a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to $1 zone. From a technical standpoint, daily technical indicators are looking bullish. MACD is rising above its signal line in the positive zone and the RSI is rising above its 50% level.The 9-day and 13-day EMAs are in the process of forming a rounding bottom reversal pattern, and the stock has moved above it. VISL will move quickly, so keep it on your screen on Monday.

( click to enlarge )

Ageagle Aerial Systems Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:UAVS) Bull flag spotted on the daily chart, this is a bullish continuation pattern. The momentum clearly favors the bulls.

( click to enlarge )

Ocugen Inc (NASDAQ:OCGN) This penny stock deserves your attention going forward. A treatment of RHO gene mutation associated with retinal degenerative disease being developed by Ocugen was granted orphan designation by the FDA, according to a post to the agency's website. No press release yet from the company which is not surprising, it usually takes some days. Once it goes live on their website we could see another spike in share price. Looking at the technical chart, it seems the stock broke the resistance area at 35c and has moved decisively to the upside. That’s a powerful sign that high prices are likely to continue. Long positions may be considered on price weakness, with a stop-loss at 30c. The next resistance it could encounter is at 50c. Once that level is breached, the next resistance could be the 70c area and then 83c. In addition, the CMF indicator is increasing, this clearly shows that smart money is moving into the stock. NOTE: OCGN is a penny stock, so play accordingly.

( click to enlarge )

Friday's action in JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAKK) confirms my opinion that the current bounce has legs. The stock finally broke the large falling wedge on large volume. The technical chart shows buyers are back. With the surge yesterday %K line is again on top over %D line showing the stock is back to a new rally. A move towards $7.9 can be expected as long as $6 holds.

( click to enlarge )

I have been following Riot Blockchain Inc (NASDAQ:RIOT) for a few days now and surprisingly it showed some strength in the final hour on Friday in a depressed market. On the momentum front, I'm seeing some positive divergences in several key momentum indicators, but this is not confirmed yet, as prices have not shown a confirmed reversal. The stock needs to break Thursday’s high of $2.45 to expect a strong rally at this point. I took a long position last week.

( click to enlarge )

Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN:DSS) has been forming an ascending triangle and it might soon break out. It needs to take out $8.15. The break of the resistance line with heavy volume should be the next buy point targeting the 9.8 zone.

( click to enlarge )

Urban One Inc Class A (NASDAQ:UONE) continues to form a base around the $14 as we get ready for another major move higher. A break of $16.50 with force might give the stock room to $20

( click to enlarge )

Capricor Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CAPR) decisively broke the bull flag formation with a big bullish engulfing candle and might soon find itself in next resistance at the 8.60 area.

( click to enlarge )

Xenetic Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:XBIO) Friday’s action in the share price leads me to believe that we may see a reversal trend at this level. To sustain this point of view, stock needs to sustain actual level in the days to come, so stay tuned to her. Next pivot 1.38

( click to enlarge )

Inpixon (NASDAQ:INPX) is in the process of bottoming and I expect a pop above $1.65 very soon. Technical indicators are looking Bullish with the RSI rising while the MACD is cutting above its signal line. With the spike in volume and momentum surging in Friday's trading session, there is a high possibility that the stock price can appreciate even more in value during the coming sessions. Plus, the Microsoft rumors should be taken seriously "#ReturnToTheWorkplace initiative". Keep it on your watch list going forward.

A few chart setups for the coming days and trading rules

Dearest readers,

I would like to thank you all for your cooperation and support during these last few months of the year, with a high increase of followers on Stocktwits (76000) and a great increase in the number of followers on twitter that has almost reached 38000 followers. Then, announce that in the next 3 weeks I will be on vacation and will not be back to update the blog until 10th of August. But before I leave you, I added a few charts with potential trade ideas for the coming days and once again my trading rules for newbies. Good luck to all of you.

( click to enlarge )

Safe Bulkers, Inc. (NYSE: SB) jumped 24 cents, or 11.88%, Friday to 2.26, breaking out after consolidating for two weeks in a bullish flag formation. If the stock breaks Friday's high of the day in the 2.3 area, it could retest the November highs in the 2.6-2.7 area within the next couple of days. Momentum key indicators are in bullish mode on the daily chart.

( click to enlarge )

Blackberry (NYSE: BB) the daily chart above is showing a stock that could be making strides toward turning higher. The daily MACD is curling nicely and the current $6.85 - $7 area looks like a some solid support/interest. We could see a quick pop from these levels.

( click to enlarge )

Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp (NASDAQ: TNXP) is getting ready to come out of this base pattern. A close above 60c gets the party started. I would like to point out that while the stock is consolidating the accumulation line still rising, which means, someone is buying this dip.

( click to enlarge )

Bio-Path Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: BPTH) appears to have solid footing in the $13.25's and looks ready to test the $15's again.

( click to enlarge )

Kadmon Holdings Inc (NYSE: KDMN) has been in a strong upwards trend the past few weeks and is correcting some of the big gains while working out the overbought conditions. The 2.4 area level could provide a good entry point for short-term trades.

( click to enlarge )

AK Steel Holding (NYSE: AKS) seems to be a promising stock to follow in the coming days. The stock broke the downtrend line from the February peak of $3.29, which sets the stage for additional gains. Thing to watch out now for this stock is its resistance at 2.43 (declining EMA100), which if broken may give the possibility of it going to as high as 2.61 in short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: NEPT) is one of the hottest stocks in the market right now. The stock broke out to all time highs again last week and the volume was very strong, signaling that this move should hold. This is generally a hot buy from a technical perspective and the short-covering will continue to power the stock higher. The momentum clearly favors the bulls. The stock is now very overbought and it seems reasonable that it should rest. Technically a buy on any dip to the pivot zone.

( click to enlarge )

Dean Foods Co (NYSE: DF) broke the descending channel from the February highs on relative high volume and could eventually rally up to test its key resistance zone around the 1.5 area in the next sessions. In addition, MACD indicates positive momentum, while RSI is also gaining strength. Keep it on your watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Boeing (NYSE: BA) Volume is picking up but the stock needs to break this resistance zone first to me. If the stock can break out above $380 with heavy volume, I think the stock could shoot up to test $397 area. There looks to be good upside potential, so watch the stock very closely.

( click to enlarge )

Ameri Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: AMRH) is a penny stock I am watching closely. It can pop big time on any positive news. The stock is trading within an uptrend and in the short-term outlook it could rise to around 42c

( click to enlarge )

Nio Inc (NYSE: NIO) Coiling up here. A break through this 3.52 area could accelerate it higher.

( click to enlarge )

Vislink Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: VISL) was added to my watchlist as a possible bottom bounce-play for another possible swing trade. It is extremely oversold at this price level. Volume picked up a bit on Friday and the daily MACD is starting to curl up, suggesting that a positive crossover could be coming soon. Bargain hunters may want to accumulate here.

I decided to share you all followers again my basic trading rules that should be taken always in consideration for trading in order to become a successful trader in the stock market. 

1 - The trend is your friend, so never go against the trend. 
2 - Keep your losses small. Golden rule: Cut losses short. Let profits run. 
3 - Use stops. The stop loss should be placed few cents below the supports and not at the same level. 4 - Learn the basics of fundamentals, charts and technical indicators. 
5 - The good trader is one who makes consistent gains, so don’t be a greedy trader, appreciate the small and the big gains. 
6 - Do not fear the market. Be always confident in your trade decisions. 
7 - Never buy what you do not want, because you think it is cheap. 
8 - Always be conscious that the loss may arise and you should be prepared for that to happen. Open mind. 
9 - For large positions, you must to have total control of the market never losing sight 
10 - Volume is a leading indicator, so play the breakouts using the volume as support of your decision. 
11 - Chart breaks without volume could be a trap and the probabilities of succeeding are low 
12 - Do not be hasty to buy or sell a stock, every day there are new opportunities to make money. Be patient is the key of success of any trader. 
13 - Only believe fundamentals as long as the technical signals follow. 
14 - Trading very speculative stocks is a frequent mistake. 
15 - Do not trade positions too large relative to your available capital. 
16 - Do not invest all your money in one company. Your portfolio must be diversified. 
17 - The Greed to pick tops or bottoms is a usual error. Wait for the perfect and confirmed signal. 
18 - Do not make trading decisions based on a story you saw in the morning paper. The market many times has already discounted the information. 
19 - Review your missteps to improve your skills 

As i always say, with patience and discipline, you can take much more from the stock market than you ever gave. Trading stocks is not easy for beginners or professionals, it is really very hard and requires lot of attention and knowledge. If stock trading was easy, everyone would be doing it. You can be successful at the stock market, with patience, discipline and a good trade set-up. The key objective is to make money and not lose it.
