Breakouts
for Apr 8th: The
first pick, GTIV, breached resistance
following an upgrade by Jefferies
and Co. Supporting the move in price were new highs in
on-balance-volume and is on the way to breaching the bearish
divergence in the MACD trigger line. Slow stochastics recently
crossed the bullish mid-line but still have some distance
to reach overbought levels, favoring a continuation of today's
breakout. Patient buyers may wish to wait for a move inside
the breakout gap before buying. The point-n-figure chart shows
a double top breakout as of Thursday with an upside target
of $23.50. The current consolidation between $14.00 and $17.60
dates back to April 2004 - so today's breakout should generate
a solid upside move. The second pick, ACMR,
is working through a base with key resistance lurking at $31.37.
The stock did feature as a breakout in November.
The company was upgraded by Morgan
Keegan even though Q1 same
store sales declined. Point-n-figure chart shows no price
pattern but a rally begun in early 2003 remains intact. Cautious
buyers may wait for a break of $28.27 before buying. Technicals
lie below resistance, further gains tomorrow will produce
breakouts in the MACD trigger line and on-balance-volume -
confirming strength of Thursday's breakout. The third pick, CNTY,
frequently featured on this site. The stock last broke on December
8th, although the breakout failed to hold above its suggested stop price.
The company is set to release its annual report late with an expected net eps
for the year of $0.36. The stock price has reached a critical juncture, $10 resistance.
A breach of this will bring its point-n-figure target of $20.25 into range -
but this stock has moved with little pause from lows of $0.75 - so watch this
important psychological level for resistance. A move to $10 will trigger a double
top breakout on the point-n-figure chart.
