Five Turnaround Stocks With Breakout Potential

 ( click to enlarge )

Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCLR) pulled back today on low volume after last week's nice run. To be bearish on OCLR, this pullback requires more volume to support that move. The technical indicators are looking better now for the stock. The MACD indicator has moved above its signal line and stochastic chart is still in bullish territory. In addition, ADX is beginning to move up and this coincides with the gain in momentum. Support is at $3.87 level and resistance is at $4.37 level. So long as the stock stays above its 50-day moving average, the bulls are safe. Oclaro still bullish in the short-term - Buy on Pullback.

The technical chart of Sky mobi Ltd (NASDAQ:MOBI) is showing positive signs of further strength. The ADX value is increasing and above the 30 level and +DI is above the –DI indicating development of strong up trend. The MACD indicator is also above its signal line indicating further strength may be possible. The Price momentum is likely to continue if the MACD indicator can stay above its signal line for the next few trading days. If the stock continues moving to the upside, next resistance lies at 6.55, 6.80 and 7.40. To the downside, support levels lie at 5.33, 5 and 4.71.

SIGM is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The technical indicators are looking better for the stock with MACD indicator above its sell signal line, %K line on top of %D line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50 level.  Sigma Designs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIGM) is one for the bottom pickers. Upside volume is picking up and a rounding bottom is taking shape. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $8.63.

There appears to be marginal downside risk on ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) from prevailing levels. The near-term trend is bullish and a move to the 34.75-36.40 range appears likely. The overall trend appears really positive.
( click to enlarge )

ShoreTel, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOR) has recovered nicely and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $5.90. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch SHOR closely on Tuesday.

5 stocks to watch in the week ahead

 ( click to enlarge )

Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCLR) strong enough to say and the Bulls are back. The stock finished the day up 7.25% on huge volume of over 2 million of shares exchanging hands on the day. Great volume and a 7% gain on the day makes the stock a clear and easy winner. Looking at the technical chart this looks to be just the beginning of OCLR's run and I’m extremely confident that the gains will continue. The stock appears to be under accumulation again. The MACD momentum has turned positive and Stochastic are on a strong uptrend which when combined with the strengthening MACD could spell a strong move for the stock. OCLR is beginning to turn and I want you to be able to see as much of this move as possible.

 ( click to enlarge )

We are on the verge of a possible breakout in the shares of Sigma Designs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIGM). I'm looking for a breakout above $8.57 in the short-term. SIGM is finishing up its consolidation phase. The new bullish trend on my daily chart looks good. Volume was on the light side, but once the stock breaks out we'll see an upturn in buying.  Key resistance is now located at $8.57, a break above this level will confirm the bullish trend and the following uptrend will take price up to $10 zone.

 ( click to enlarge )

Pacific Biosciences of California  (NASDAQ:PACB) did close negative on the day, but I still think there is another upside move coming soon. There are several short and mid term technical indications suggesting that PACB could make a move to higher levels. The next resistance it could encounter is at $4.71.
 
  ( click to enlarge )
 
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE:AMD) traded higher today, after the company released strong earnings late Thursday. The momentum clearly favors the bulls. As long as AMD can remain over $5.60, I like the stock. If $6.07 is broken, look for $6.47-$6.87.  Advanced Micro Devices could be a good stock for medium-term investment, based on its historical performance and from the technical indicators. Let's keep an eye on it.
 
   ( click to enlarge )
 
Gulf Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:GURE) was up over 5% with very unusual volume on no now news. As a result for today's trading session, its volume traded daily went to a 2-month high. Looking at the technical chart, it seems the stock broke the resistance area at $2.24 ( 50-day SMA ) 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 $2.20. The next resistance it could encounter is at $2.50. Once that level is breached, the next resistance could be the 3 psychological area then 3.05. In addition, the On Balance Volume is increasing, this clearly shows that smart money is moving into the stock.

Stocks that look ready to take off


( click to enlarge )

Today's action in TSL confirms my opinion that the current rally has legs. Trina Solar Limited (NYSE:TSL) broke the ascending triangle higher on very large volume. The technical chart shows buyers are back. With the surge today %K line is again on top over %D line showing the stock is back to new rally. A move towards $9.62 can be expected as long as $8.05 holds.

 ( click to enlarge )

My new big pick is Cogo Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:COGO). The stock made an awesome move today breaking out of a major resistance line with volume backed confirmation. I went long at $2.34 as its quite possible we should see a short term move near $2.8/share. The technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD rising. Today’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.

 ( click to enlarge )

Looking at the technical chart of Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:CSIQ) there are some technical indicators lining up that may be indicating a rally is in the cards. The stock hit a lower low in the past week but the MACD and stochastics are higher. The RSI is also indicating a divergence as it was well below 30 last week but it just turned up from above 30. In addition, the stock broke out today above its downtrend line on heavy volume. There could be good upside in CSIQ so watch the stock closely on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) broke out of the downtrend channel that has beenin effect since the middle of July. The breakout looks real good, and we sense significantly more upside at this stage. Also MACD shows positive divergences on daily.

Stocks Watchlist For Thursday, October 27th

( click to enlarge )

Nice runner from Tuesday's buy list. Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RBCN) traded nicely on Wednesday and I’m looking for continuation of the upward direction tomorrow. RBCN is a short squeeze candidate, with a short float at 30.20% equivalent to 13 days of average volume. From a technical standpoint, the chart shows that the stock is in a rally as %K line is rising on top of %D line as the price is back above 20-day moving average. Positive MACD action. The RSI is also rising along with the rise in volumes indicates buying interest in the stock. In addition, the stock seems to have broken out on the upside from a downtrend pattern and probably might target its 50-day sma around $11.46 or so. Can get interesting. Keep close eye on this one for a major rally to the upside.

We are on the verge of a possible breakout in the shares of Trina Solar Limited (NYSE:TSL). The stock looks like it could be getting ready to go imo ! Good technical and decent fundamentals here. TSL is worth a close look.

Total System Services, Inc. (NYSE:TSS) stock broke out the major resistance of $19.38 confirmed by a strong volume, it's now a stock in a breakout mode without resistances above.

Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) broke through resistance at $28.18 accompanied with high volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here.

 ( click to enlarge )

Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) needs to take out $17.44. The break of the resistance line with heavy volume should be the next buy point on ZION.

Stocks Watchlist For Wednesday, October 26th

( click to enlarge )

Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RBCN) - I have been following this stock for a few days now and surprisingly it showed some strength today in a depressed market. On the momentum front, I'm seeing some positive divergences in several indicators, but this are not confirmed yet, as prices have not shown a confirmed reversal. On daily chart the stock closed above its 13- DMA. Momentum oscillators are neutral to positive. The stock needs to break Tuesday’s high of $10.10 to expect a strong rally at this point. 
 
 ( click to enlarge )
 
RF Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:RFMD) are trading higher in the after-hours following the release of the company's Q3 earnings results. Currently, shares are higher by 3.47%, trading at $7.47; they ended the regular session lower by 3.6%, at $7.22. The recent increase in trading volume and rising OBV suggests buyers are accumulating stock. A breakout above $7.58 would constitute a technical entry for the short term trader looking for a quick trade.

Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE:OCN)  just broke out of a short consolidation phase. Looking at the technical chart, the stock shows a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in Bullish areas. The RSI value is currently above 50 but it has not reached the overbought region. OCN is now a stock in Breakout mode.

( click to enlarge )
 
Camelot Information Systems Inc (Public, NYSE:CIS) - I will continue to accumulate this Chinese stock on weakness. Positive MACD divergence. The stock is simply telling me that this is a nice healthy pullback after a big run. Yesterday's volume to the upside was strong. The trend should resume back up in the very near future. I could be wrong, but I did not find a reason for the drop in shares as it did. It was likely a consequence of the negative market environment.

Stock Picks for Tuesday, Oct 25th

( click to enlarge )

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) - Breaking out to new highs. Looks good for higher prices.

( click to enlarge )

Camelot Information Systems Inc (NYSE:CIS) - Volume starts to pick up. Could make a huge move to the upside. Keep it on your watch list.  A break of $3.50 with force might give CIS room to $4.43.

( click to enlarge )

Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) nice runner from the buy list on Saturday. The stock seems to have broken the “neckline” of an Inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. This predicts a move up to $21 or so. After the market close, the company reported Q3 EPS of $0.35, better than analyst estimates of $0.34 per share.

 ( click to enlarge )

FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ:FORM) seems to have broken a falling wedge pattern today. This classical pattern often precedes reversals. The stock at these levels are a buy. Support is at $5.97 and a break above $6.65 would result in more upward movement for the stock. 

  ( click to enlarge )

Notice that Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RBCN) is beginning to make a move higher. Today's fight toward the 13dma could represent the start of a larger trend change.

Great stocks to watch next week

  ( click to enlarge )

I've alerted my readers about the potential upside movement in Novatel Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVTL) shares last week and yesterday to all my twitter followers at $3.40. The stock has come up to my expectations as it was among the top gainers of Nasdaq exchange during Friday’s session. It ended the day at $3.86 trading more than 800.000 shares, well above its average volume. If you are on board, there is nothing more to do but enjoy the ride.

Affymax, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFY) - At some point I think AFFY will have a nice pop to the upside followed by a strong and sustained upward move. With this stock trading as high as $8 in July, I think today's current price of $5.11 represents a great opportunity for investors. This company has a free cash flow per share of $3.19 and no debt. From the technical analysis perspective, the outlook for AFFY is relatively bullish. The stochastic analysis is signaling a bullish outlook which can be further confirming in MACD and ADX charts. Lastly, the accumulation/distribution indicator shows the stock under strong accumulation. The buy point is still around $5.20 on strong volume.

I don't like to speculate but it's clear that something will happen soon on Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO). The December series shows a huge amount of calls at the 19,20 and 21 strikes. It looks like people are really convinced that stock will breakout over $18 and $20 soon. An interesting story in today's The Wall Street Journal highlights that Google Inc. has talked to at least two private-equity firms about potentially helping them finance a deal to buy Yahoo Inc.'s core business. This company continues to attract huge name suitors, therefore  i'm still playing on the long side holding my long position and waiting for the possible deals. Let’s keep an eye on it.

Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) - In the daily chart above the stock is forming a possible Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern. If the stock price  breaks out of the neckline, target level is around $21. My model is mixed with upside bias. For now lets wait for that break out to occur.

It is very clear that Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS)  wants to move higher again, but too much caution right now. Once we get a couple of positive events, we will move rapidly. Rambus reacted to the $17 mark over the past week and has suffered a small correction as shown in the chart above. Short term support for the stock is in the 15.96 to 15.62 region. There should be room for another leg upward once the stock digests this small correction.
