Breakouts
for Nov 22nd: Unfortunately,
out of 32 stocks which popped up on my breakout scan very few had
reasonable qualities for buying. Two of today's stocks from this
scan are featured on my public stockchart list, VGZ and OPSW. The
first pick, VGZ,
benefited from strength in the junior gold sector. On balance
volume sits at new highs with rising strength in the MACD. Slow
stochastics are not overbought, but upward momentum should continue,
favoring higher prices. Long term resistance sits at $6.00 from
March highs, a break of which favors a move to $10.00. The second
pick, OPSW, is a base breakout play, breaking
from a double bottom formed in Aug-Oct. The stock ended the week
over the 200-day moving average after the company reported earnings.
The stock has excellent technical strength; a MACD trigger line
break of resistance, a sharply rising on-balance-volume, and slow
stochastics at overbought levels. The price target is based on a
test of psychological $10 resistance. The third pick, IMR,
recently reported earnings,
which helped build the momentum for the current move, ending the
week at new 52-week highs. Longer term resistance sits at $17.00
(see point-n-figure charts). It should be possible to get shares
on a retest of support in the $13.90-$14.50 range, but it may be
best to take a small position off Monday's open. Supporting the
break in price is a MACD trigger line and on-balance volume at new
near term highs, while slow stochastics are firmly overbought.
