Breakouts
for Dec 20h: A
couple of former breakouts made continuation moves today.
The first pick, ITRI,
featured on June 7th but
hit its stop before basing again.
The stock has been very news shy since November.
However, this has not stopped continued accumulation on rising
technicals. Given the stock failed its last breakout cautious
buyers may wait to buy a break of the 52-week high at $24.65.
The price target is drawn from point-n-figure projections.
The second pick, MATR,
featured as a breakout on July
21st,
again on Oct
14th, and still remains in
play. I have kept the original price target, but have raised
the stop price. The GTC buy zone is the best area to look
for fills. Friday's move held in the face of lowered
outlook.
The substantial pullback in the MACD trigger line reversed
to a buy signal. On-balance-volume remains the most bullish
indicator here. Slow stochastics are above the bullish mid-line.
The
third pick, VICR,
also rallied in the absence of company specific news. For a stock emerging from
its base it has excellent technical strength. Buy orders into the low $12.00s
should get fills if market weakness from the tail end of last week spills over
to this week. Point-n-figure charts project a price target of $21.50, but I am
aiming for the nearest point of resistance at $18.50 as the likely stalling point
for the rally.
