Hot stocks to watch on Tuesday, 01 February

    ( click to enlarge )

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) made a strong upside reversal today. The technical chart above suggests that stock might find now resistance at $15.70, its 50-day MA. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. I think the stock is due for recovery as %K line has crossed on top over %D line. The stock needs to close above this level in order to alleviate the negative near term view. Remain invested with a stop loss at $14.63.

Baidu.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) released better then expected numbers after Monday’s close, which should lead the Internet sector bouncing on Tuesday. The stock is blowing up in after hours trading. Looking at the daily chart it displays a short-term downtrend line broken to the upside with a nice volume. In addition, KD line shows positive signals as %K line is rising on top over %D line, and RSI continue moving up. Stock as a major resistance at $115.04. I suspect the stock may continue to appreciate over the coming weeks after BIDU surprising quarterly results that blew away analysts expectation.

Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) broke out to record highs today. This breakout on normal volume did not convince me yet. At this point we may need to pull back and retest $21.122 to reset the overbought conditions and provide some room to develop a new trend up. Technicaly chart shows the stock is still in a very strong bull market with MACD on top of signal line and 50 day moving average on top of 200 day moving average. Stay tuned on it.

Stock Market Ideas for Monday, January 31

    ( click to enlarge )

I have been following Sirius XM Radio Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRI) for a while and bought some after the major resistance level around 1.41 was broken. Honestly, the stock looks like it could go to $2 or even higher by the end of year. Nice growth, good expansion and management team. I believe the current uptrend is sustainable and I do expect that we will have a quick upward movement. Overall, the flux of news have been in favor of Bulls. I prefer to keep with my long position on stock respecting the breakout mode. After a strong runup since its August 2010 bottom, SIRI looks poised to rally again from this small pullback. Present technical indicators are in favor of Bulls.

A quick look at the technical chart :

- The bias is bullish in nearest term testing $1.69 but remains unclear in medium term.
- The stock still trading above 50 day and 200 day moving average, also a bullish sign.
- Back above the 20 day average.
- Volume increases on support levels (good sign)
- RSI back above 50 level.
- Money Flow-Index still climbing
- The +DI crossed up through the -DI last week - Bullish.
- Call Options Still going Strong.
- The trend is still up

I hope I am right ........

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)  is currently setting up in a very nice uptrend channel since May Lows. Technically the stock looks solid trading above its 50 and 200 day moving averages. My model is long, targeting $350 area. The stock needs to stay above key level $326.04 to keep the bullish scenario intact. Resistance Levels: $344/348.48 $14,92 / Support Levels: $330.6, $326

  ( click to enlarge )

Tellabs, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLAB) - It looks like there is just limited downside risk in the stock at current levels. TLAB is short-term extremelly oversold technically, and due for a strong corrective bounce soon.

  ( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) attempted to push higher on Friday but found good resistance around $25 psychological/key level, closing at 23.76. The stock has been in the process of consolidating here for an another big up move. NVDA has weathered the recent pullback without too much chart damage. It is actually pretty close to all time highs. The outlook remains bullish and the stock appears on course to move to new highs. The short-term trend remains positive as long as the Nvidia trades above 23 levels, which is an important immediate support. Long positions may be considered on weakness, with a stop-loss at $23. Honestly speaking, the stock is one of my favourite stocks for 2011. Keep an eye on it !!!! 

  ( click to enlarge )

Banner Corporation (NASDAQ:BANR) is still in my watch list for next week. Still looks strong. The stock has major resistance at $2.68, a close over that level would be very bullish. Looking at the technical chart above, you can see a MACD crossover which, by definition means that there is a momentum change. In addition, the technical indicator On Balance Volume still shows strong accumulation. Consistent move above $2.45 could trigger further upside momentum re-testing $2.68 before testing $3 region. On the downside, initial support at $2.30.

Other stocks to watch :

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) - A lot of bullish traders like RMBS stock right now. The stock is trading right around the 20 day moving average while the 50 day moving average is rapidly rising. I think the correction is over and another leg higher is imminent.

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTIC) stock continues to hold $.35 but seems to have stalled here. A break below from this point forward would be very bearish.

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA) - I still like the stock for long term prospects.

Hot Stock Movers to watch on Friday, January 28

  ( click to enlarge )

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) has formed a bullish engulfing pattern on the daily chart. RSI confirms the uptrend and the stock trades comfortably above the 20 and 50 DMA. I expect the stock’s near-term up trend to continue. Next resistance is located at $30.37, while immediate support has moved up to $28.58.

( click to enlarge )

Banner Corporation (NASDAQ:BANR) broke out of a bull flag today. Today's heavy volume was what you want to see when a stock breaks resistance.I believe it's time to be Bullish again on stock. The bull flag consolidation pattern that we are just coming out of is one of the most bullish patterns around. OBV and RSI returned to the Bullish area. If shares can break the $2.70 mark then bulls should be able to target a move to $3.46. 

 ( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. ( NASDAQ:RMBS ) is moving higher in after hours, after the company reported good earnings and announced that it has renewed its patent license agreement with Panasonic Corporation. This five year agreement covers Panasonic’s products with DRAM memory controllers for SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, and other DRAM devices. The company will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these memory controllers. Technically speaking, RMBS broke the twenty-one barrier in Thursday's market which was another resistance point that could generate a momentous rally. In addition the chart shows very bullish signal as 50-day moving average has just crossed on top over 200-day moving average forming the Golden Cross. With the bullish sign formed and RSI also back above 50% level we should see the stock take off from now on, so be patience on RMBS because we can see soon a nice rally.  Keep watching the stock trade since it is positioned for a strong uptick in share prices!

( click to enlarge )

American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) seems to be bottoming out at good support between $40.60 and $41. It has a potential upside till around $44.60 and maybe $46.05.

Trade Ideas for Thursday, January 27

( click to enlarge )
There has been a persistent decline in Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) shares since the start of this month tempered with short-lived and unconvincing rallies. From the technical chart the short-term trend is still weak as the stock is still below its 50 and 200-day moving average. The stock needs to close above $7.71 in order to alleviate the negative near term view. If the stock fails to move above this level, it can decline to $7 area.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) closed at $24.54 on Wednesday, up 57 cents points for the day. The stock made a strong upside reversal. The technical chart above suggests that stock might find now resistance at $25.05. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. Remain invested with a stop loss at $23.90.

  ( click to enlarge )
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) - Although the moving averages of stock are showing weakness as the stock is still trading below 50 and 200 dma, there is one technical indicator showing some strength, the stochastics. ERTS has chance to start new rally, because %K line has just crossed on top over %D line. The stock at least can hit the 50-day moving average at $15.71 cents per share. Watch to see what it does here.

Investors with medium-term horizon can hold the stock with stop-loss at  $19.99 and long-term investors can hold with deeper stop at $19.20. Target above $21.72 is $22.82. Keep an eye on her.

The short-term trend for Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ:EGLE) is clearly down and the stock appears headed to test its major support at $3.91. Any break below this level may take prices down to $3.

Stock picks for Tuesday January 25

 ( click to enlarge )

I see little resistance for KB Home (NYSE:KBH) above $15.71 and a move this week through this level will be an indicator of a possible breakout which should drive the price to the $18 range. Investors looking for a quick near-term profit should look to trade KBH at these levels. Long-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above $14.20 while maintaining stop-loss at this level. Strong close above $15.85 will take the stock higher to $17.32 or $20 in the long-term. Technical indicators are supporting the bulls. EMAs are moving up and RSI is moving up above its 50% level.

  ( click to enlarge )

LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE:LDK) is in a new bull-market. Investors with medium-term horizon can hold the stock with stop-loss at $12.28 and long-term investors can hold with deeper stop at $10.02. Target above $15 is $16.46.

( click to enlarge )

I had mentioned that failure to surpass the 200-day moving average could result in the stock vacillating in the band between $16.65 and $14.63 for few more weeks. I stay with the view that long-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above the major support area. Since the stock has strong long-term support in the band between $15 and $14.65, investors can buy the stock close to $15 with stop at $14.63. Looking at the technical chart above we can see a bullish signal in short-term, the RSI reversed from going down to going up just at the weak level of 33. Speaks to a bottom  being put in. Stay tuned !!

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was one of the few decent winners on Monday, as the stock closed up $2.53 on the day. NVDA broke out today on higher volume ( 2x normal daily volume ) above a major resistance point. Today’s high was $25.05, which is resistance for the follow through move. If the stock can break through this level, expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher.

5 Hot stocks to watch next week

( click to enlarge )

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) continued its upward surge from Thursday.

A quick look at the daily chart of JPM shows us that:

- The stock price has been making higher lows since last December.
- The volume of transactions has been increasing substantially over the last 2 months.
- Trendline is rising
- The 50 daily moving average is turning up for the first time since March-April 2010
- The price has crossed the 10 day moving average to the upside again with an increase in volume. 
- My expectation is for JPM to rise back up to 47.18-48$ and then break out above 48.02$. 
- This scenario would be cancelled if the price falls below 43$.

There is a resistance level that needs to be crossed to give rise to the next leg up. The buy trigger is at $45.94. If we can cross this level next week, the stock should continue its move up. Stay tuned !!

( click to enlarge )

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) broke out today on higher volume ( 3x normal daily volume ) above a major resistance point. Buy trigger is clear. It appears to be moving up toward its old highs in the 31-32 range.

( click to enlarge )

Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPOP) closed back the 10 day moving average located at $3.21, ending the day at $3.22. The next major resistance level is located at $3.30. I would be a buyer on any weakness.

( click to enlarge )

KB Home (NYSE:KBH) is looking bullish and may breakout of this falling wedge/pennant. The stock should find support here at the lower band and 20 sma.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) continues to hold the 50 and  200 day moving averages which is very bullish. I expect the stock to test the $22 level soon. A close over this level would be bullish and I'd expect the stock to run to $25. Support is located at $20.34 as well as $20. If the stock closes below $20 at any time, all bets are off. Over the past month, RMBS saw its short interest decrease by five percent to 5,638,200 from 5,926,100. The new bullish trend on my technical chart looks good. My model is long targeting $25. Key resistance is now located at $22, a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to 25 zone. Rambus is the frequent subject of patent infringement and anti-trust claim issues. Hynix Semiconductor, Nvidia, Micron Tech have had patent infringement suits with Rambus, so please be aware that the share price depends in part of the news that comes to the market, causing generally large fluctuations in the share, so be careful if you’re not familiar with the stock.

Stock Market Ideas for Friday, January 21

( click to enlarge )

On today's trading session, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) declined initially and found support around $27.59 level. However, subsequently it recovered and rallied 6 percent from the session’s low closing at $29.02. The near-term outlook will depend on the price movement in the next few days. I expect to see a breakout of this small range soon. Nevertheless, keep this on your watchlist because the overall market sentiment on MS is pretty bullish. If it breaks out of $29.22, target price is around $32.

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) closed again above the downtrend line which is a good sign. Until proven otherwise, momentum is to upside.

Biogen Idec Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB)  broke out to a new all-time high today, accompanied by a strong volume suggesting higher levels. The stock has been in a nice uptrend for the last six months and it looks very strong with both 50 day and 200 day moving average going up. On daily chart above we have a small ascending channel that has been violated to the upside indicating potential further bullish pressure. Technical indicators remain moderately bullish as MACD momentum holds in positive territory and RSI moves sideways slightly above the 50 level. Short-term outlook for the stock is bullish. Buy the stock on dips with a stop-loss at $65.90.

Not a pretty picture. In downtrend mode. Next support is only at $2.24, followed by $2.02.
