Interesting day for the indices today. They gapped down sharply and then rallied all day to close near break even.
CARA: It looked like it was forming a head and shoulders pattern, but today's action broke above the left shoulder resistance line $17.19. It traded as high as $18.39 before closing at $18.15. I would look to go long over $18.50 with $22.00 as my price target. It may run into some resistance at the former high of $19.44 so I will watching that area as well.
CGIX: Nice winner from my watch list last night with a $4.00 entry level. The stock traded as high as $5.30 closing as $5.05. It does have resistance at $5.50. If it can get through that area then $7.00 is the next price level. It is looking extended though, so it may have to consolidate further before the next leg up. Shorts, 5 days to cover.
COHU: A recent addition to my watch list. Stock gapped up from around $13.50 early February and traded as high as $17.83. It has been consolidating the last month but today it broke out above resistance and traded as high as $18.36 closing at $18.04. I would look to go long over today's high with $20.00 as the next price target.
IPXL: I went long this stock this morning at at $11.35 and thought it would run into resistance around $11.65 so I sold. It then marches nonstop up to $13.00 closing at $12.70. It now has lots of room to move and I would look to long over today's high with $15.00 as my price target. Shorts, 4.9 days to cover.
NKTR: After trading as high as $20 last Sept/Oct. the stock came down and consolidated in the $14.00 range. Early this month It broke out above $14.00 and based at $15.50. Last week, the stock gapped up and traded as high as $23.40. I would look to go long on a break out above $23.44 with $26.00 as my price target. Shorts 8.4 days to cover so it should add some momentum to the trade if it goes.
NVMI: Another hot stock in the semiconductor sector. Stock has been in a steep up trend since December gapping up early February to a high of $18.32. Since then it has consolidated. Today it broke through lateral resistance at $17.00 and traded as high as $18.99. It closed off slightly from the high at $18.77. I would look to go long over $19.00 with $22.00 and $24.00 as my targets.
TTPH: Stock is in an upward trending channel ever since it broke out from its base at $5.00. It recently traded as high as $8.68, came back and tested support at $7.50 and then has been up the last three days. I would look to go long over $8.70 with $9.25 a resistance level. But if it can get through that then $12.50 is my next target. Shorts, 4.3 days to cover.
VRAY: Nice winner from my watch list entry level of $7.00. It has hit all of my price targets at $8.00, $9.00 and then the high for today at $9.95 missed my $10.00 call by $.05. Stock is now up 7 days in a row so it may be getting long in the tooth. It should run into resistance at the top of the channel at $10.50.
Bob, you wrote about VRAY resistance at the top of its channel. Would you mind explaining what time frame on the chart you are using to visualize the channel along with how you decipher where the channel lines base off of?
Look at a 1 month chart, hourly time frame. Starting in mid march draw paralell lines through the tops and the bottoms and you will see the channel.
Awesome, Thanks very much!
Thanks Bob!
