Stocks to Watch for May 04, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl Inc (NYSE:VRX) Despite the bearish market action, the stock performed well closing the day with a gain of 9.59%. It looks to have bottomed technically. The stock is beginning to make a move higher and looks like it is gonna squeeze some shorts here. Any close above $38 could lead to a substantial gain in shares. It should be on your watchlist.

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) finally broke out of the downtrend accompained by a strong volume and look poised to head higher. The stock hit a high of $2.17 which is now resistance for Wednesday’s follow through move. The daily technical chart is displaying a screaming buy divergence on the upside. Expect an initial run up to $2.78 with a break higher moving to the $3.50 zone. Momentum picking up with MACD climbing and RSI rising. Existing insider activity combined with a low float, may be the perfect catalyst needed to spark a short-squeeze buying explosion here. Lets keep an eye on it.

( click to enlarge )

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:JEC) needs to take out $45.41. The break of the resistance line with heavy volume should be the next buy point.

( click to enlarge )

Cheesecake Factory Inc (NASDAQ:CAKE) I like the idea of getting long with a stop below its 50EMA. The MACD is making a bullish crossover and the RSI is also rising. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) There is a bullish pennant formation on daily chart. Play accordingly.

Chart setups to keep an eye on next week

( click to enlarge )

Forum Energy Technologies Inc (NYSE:FET) surged 8.77% Friday on one of the heaviest volume sessions this year, with 2.87 million shares traded. The broke out of a key horizontal resistance line and closed slightly below the high of the day, which now represents the next resistance for the follow through move on Monday. If a breakout above this level occurs, we could see a continuation of current momentum toward the 19.2-19.85 range.

( click to enlarge )

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (NYSE:KKD) Should be on watch next week for a possible breakout out of current consolidation (Bullish flag). If a breakout above 17.53 occurs, we could see an acceleration of momentum and move toward the 18-18.60 area.

( click to enlarge )

Relypsa Inc (NASDAQ:RLYP) has been pulling back after massive one day rally on 7th of April. As you can see from the chart above, in this corrective phase the stock has found support on its rising 50-day EMA on multiple occasions. At this point and with the company being mentioned as a potential takeover candidate, traders could expect a strong bounce and a potential breakout of the downtrend line. CMF is positive and accumulation remain high.

( click to enlarge )

Despite the overall market correction, Friday was a good session for Gold stocks, including IAMGOLD Corp (NYSE:IAG). The stock gained another 22 cents, or 6.92%, breaking out of a consolidation pattern to the upside with volume backed confirmation. The daily technical chart above shows the stock is in a bull market rally as MACD is on top of signal line and in positive territory. In addition, the medium-term trend is also bullish as the stock is above the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages with both moving averages going up.

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) delivered nice gains for traders last week (Twitter alert). The stock closed the week with a gain of 65%. There were plenty of opportunities throughout the week to get involved in this particular sector and easily book a profit. For those of you that booked a profit, congratulations on a great week. From a technical perspective, we are now starting to look overbought in the short-term, so we could see some profit taking for a test of its 100-day EMA support.

( click to enlarge )

Paragon Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ:PRGN) was the stock of the week gaining more than 750% in just two trading days. After strong gains, the risk of profit taking is high, so play wityh tigh stops.

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc (NASDAQ:VRNG) is a low float stock to keep an eye on. I am still watching VRNG shares of due to the recent price action, volume, news and momentum. Daily technical chart shows a possible reversal in the making. Most of its key indicators, particularly the MACD and the 14-day relative strength index are displaying positive divergences. Plus, the ADX indicator is starting to move into strong territory. Overall, the stock is showing some positive technical signs of reversing its long-term downtrend. If it breaks this downtrend line, the first target on a swing would be the $3.50 area.

( click to enlarge )

After the recent rally in oil stocks, Friday's pull back on Bonanza Creek Energy Inc (NYSE:BCEI) should be seen as a natural and welcome movement. As long as the stock closes above the 3.70 level, the Bullish trend intact.

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) The price action on Friday created a potential/temporary bottom. A rise above the 95 level next week should confirm the reversal. Plus, the extreme oversold reading from the slow stochastic and RSI indicators, suggest that prices are due for some recovery and base building imho. Stop Friday's low.

Stocks to Watch for April 26, 2016

( click to enlarge )

Verastem Inc (NASDAQ:VSTM) shares closed higher for the third consecutive day on very impressive money volume. The trend continued higher based on the strong technicals. Today’s high is resistance for a follow through move on Tuesday. From a technical standpoint, the MACD just crossed above signal and the ADX chart is showing some strength in this movement, giving the "bulls" the signal they wanted. Watching 1.93 area for a squeeze. The company has a strong cash position of approximately US$110 million (as at December 31, 2015) or nearly $3 per share and zero debt.

Oncothyreon Inc (NASDAQ:ONTY) showed strength all day and broke higher on heavy volume. Looks like higher prices to come.

I have Cepheid (NASDAQ:CPHD) on my watchlist. It may be ready to break out of this consolidation. The daily technical chart looks very good. Breakout watch over 36.08

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 to Watch for April 14, 2016

( click to enlarge )

ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAD) is still trading around the $33 level which has been a strong resistance over the past several days. I now plan to buy the stock again if it can break Thursday's high of $34.06.

( click to enlarge )

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHN) broke out from its sideways consolidation with a 3% rally and closed over the resistance area of 8.30. Keep this one on your radar over the next days.

( click to enlarge )

GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) broke out above its declining 50-day EMA today and surged considerably higher amidst impressive buying pressure. It is getting some buying and looks poised to post some nice gains if the buying volume persists. I expect the stock to continue to gain investor interest going forward. Keep it on your watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Intrexon Corp (NYSE:XON) Price should become explosive if this daily chart pattern is broken to the upside with volume.

( click to enlarge )

BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:BMRN) is building an optimistic pattern under resistance at $91. Watch the stock closely for a break through that price level as a cue that the stock wants to go higher. Initial support at $85

( click to enlarge )

Gogo Inc (NASDAQ:GOGO) showed some nice strength today. The stock closed nicely above the major short-term MA levels with solid volume. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over 11.32

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) There is a positive MACD divergence on the daily technical chart and this usually means that an upward movement is coming. Wednesday’s high was $1.95, which is resistance for the continuation move. There is a lot of upside in this trade, so keep this stock on your screen tomorrow.

Stocks to Watch for March 07, 2016

( click to enlarge )

I mentioned on twitter that Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) was looking constructive (flagigng below the key EMAs) and that the 100 level may not hold. It did not take long for this to play out, as the stock price has just closed above these key levels. Also notice on daily technical chart how the stock has recently broken to the upside of the trend line from December 2015. We will have to see if the stock has the legs to reach the 105 level next week.

( click to enlarge )

Friday marked an important shift in CombiMatrix Corp (NASDAQ:CBMX) shares as they closed above the upper line of the declining trend channel that has been forming since December last year. CBMX was one of the big winners on Friday, closing up $1.22 on the day. The stock traded heavy volume (when compared to its daily average) as it hit a high of $5.91. This high is resistance for Monday’s continuation move. Looking at the technical chart I see a stock that broke a downtrend and cleared a sideways consolidation base. The first target is the 50EMA (could be easily broken) then $9. Keep this stock on your radar for Monday’s trading day. Note: thin name just 603.78K shares.

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) In last week’s analysis of the daily technical chart, I had drawn a horizontal resistance line from which a break out seemed imminent and the "bulls" seem to have won this round. Now let's see if the break-out is confirmed next week. The daily technical indicators are looking bullish. The daily MACD is above the signal line and rising in positive territory. The RSI and slow stochastic are well inside their bullish regions. All short-term EMAs are rising, and the stock is rising above them. For now, the bulls are back in control.

( click to enlarge )

VirnetX Holding Corporation (NYSEMKT:VHC) has made an attempt to break above the key resistance level of $6 on Friday but it was not successful so the price is currently back to support area 5.45-5.30 (short-term EMAs 13&20). The price structure still suggest a short-term uptrend and therefore, in my honest opinion, it is possible that the bulls will regain control. All key technical indicators are also supporting the current short-term bullish trend. Only a close below the 200-day EMA would negate the bullish implications of this pattern. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) The past couple of days the price has been pulling back off its sharp rebound rally in the second half of February. Price has formed a flag formation. The confirmation of this bullish pattern is a break of the upper line. A sustained push above $2.35 level, where the upper line currently ends could take the stock up to 3.50 my first resistance. The A/D shows strong accumulation over the past 3 weeks. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge )

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) The daily technical chart shows that we are clearly in a downtrend, however some indicators are showing some positive divergences. We can see by MACD that the stock is losing momentum to the downside, while A/D also shows signs of accumulation. Watch this downtrend line carefully here and play accordingly.

( click to enlarge )

SolarCity Corp (NASDAQ:SCTY) Congratulations to all those who profited from Friday's twitter alert. The stock moved in line with my expectation and achieved my initial price target of $25, closing the gap. Going into next week, the stock may consolidate sideways within the 21.5-23.5 range before starting a fresh rise. My bias remains bullish and the short-term postive outlook would be negated only if the price declines below $20.

Stocks to Watch for March 01, 2016

( click to enlarge )

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) made a great move today closing above the 100-day exp moving average for the first time in seven weeks and was with an increase in volume, which shows us there are buyers in the stock. It has a lot of potential to be a big percentage mover. On the technical side, MACD and ADX all point to upward trend while RSI is also rising. Watch the stock closely on Tuesday, and once it breaks through $7.93, get ready to enter the trade.

( click to enlarge )

Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY) displayed some impressive relative strength today with a 13.58% gain on volume above average. I think we will see some nice follow through tomorrow. The next major resistance area is around $1.89 (100EMA). Could be a high flyer on breakout.

( click to enlarge )

Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc (NYSE:BBW) broke through a key resistance level today accompanied with decent volume, but did not have much momentum behind the move, so keep an eye on it to see if tomorrow will confirm the intraday breakout.

( click to enlarge )

Vringo, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNG) made a nice upside reversal today in a weak market. It may be ready to break out of this potential bullish flag consolidation. Only a close above 2.78 would suggest further upside. Accumulation line is pointing up, which means it is under accumulation. The MACD is also moving higher. VRNG will move quickly, so keep it on your screen.

( click to enlarge )

Tableau Software Inc (NYSE:DATA) Will Continue to watch this stock. Potential breakout play. Watching over 46.32 with resistance at 50.20.

( click to enlarge )

GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:GPRO) Watch this trend line and play accordingly. Momentum indicators suggest continuation of positive bias for the stock. Lets keep an eye on it.
