Top Stocks in 2017 (Numbers 10 through 6)
Crypto Charts I Actually Like
As the cryptos were going into a death spiral Thursday night and Friday morning, a couple of them caught my eye as good buys. I don’t trade the stuff (although some people have emailed me, encouraging me to do so), but if I had an account, I think I would have bought Ethereum when it was down about 45% on Friday morning. It recovered decently already, and its pattern was far, far better than Bitcoin’s.
Breakout Charts to Watch
Here are four stocks showing strong technical momentum.
BlackBerry Limited (BB) shot up out of a double-top pattern on Wednesday, closing up nearly 12% at $12.17 on 29 million shares traded. That was the largest volume since the end of September, and more than 7x the stock’s daily average. The move came with the company’s positive earnings announcement and news on the transformation of its core business from communications hardware to cybersecurity solutions. Price has not been this high since January 2015. Next targets: $14 and $17.
Cymabay Therapeutics, Inc. (CBAY) launched out of a 36-day bull wedge consolidation, closing up 6.9% at $8.99 on heavy volume of 786,000 shares traded and no news. Analysts have voiced strong support this year for the company’s liver disease drug, now in clinical trials, based on its potential for market leadership. The stock has risen nearly 300% during 2017. If price can close above the October 30 high of $9.40, next targets are $11 and $14. (more…)
