05/31/12 - It was an ugly day on Wall Street on Wednesday. It could very well rollover here, so we're going to look at both longs and shorts. http://www.TheTechTrader.com
Neonode, Inc. (NEON) had a big pop on Wednesday, up 1.34 to 6.12, or 28%, on 4.86 million shares. Earlier in April, this stock ran from under 3.00 up to 5.50, backed off to the 50-day, held, jumped up and formed a little consolidation, popped and broke out. As we draw the parallel lines to determine channel top, at least on a short-term target, this one shows something up around 7-7 1/4. http://www.TheTechTrader.com
The Fresh Market, Inc. (TFM) had a big day on Wednesday. It had a big pop, and ran up near the top of the channel, up 7.29 to 56.15, 15%, on 2.3 million shares. If there's a follow-through on Thursday, look for something up around 58, and beyond that, something in the low 60's. http://www.TheTechTrader.com
Stocks on the Short Side...
Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), which has been on our short list for a while, could, even though it's oversold, get down to lower levels. On Wednesday, it dropped 1.98 to 33.89, or 5.5%, on 3.8 million shares. It may very well be headed to the bottom of the channel and lateral support around 30-30 1/2. http://www.TheTechTrader.com
Clayton Williams Energy Inc. (CWEI) dropped 3.48 to 56.51, or 5.8%, on 101,000 shares. It has a pattern that had a breakdown, a bear-flag, a secondary breakdown, a wedge around support, and appears to want to go lower. If it cracks, this stock could get down around the low 50's, high 40's very quickly. http://www.TheTechTrader.com
