It looks like the markets are consolidating, and with the long weekend coming up, it could be a dull day on Friday or a real wild day. More importantly, let’s take a look at some of the individual chart patterns of stocks that are really starting to improve.
Blue Buffalo Pet Products Inc (NASDAQ:BUFF) has an interesting chart, up 18 cents to 25.94, on 446,545 shares traded. I put a swing back on it after I liked the way this stock has acted the last couple months, particularly with the pop above the double top that pulled back to form a wedge. If and when this does go, expect a test of the all-time highs, post IPO highs, at about 28.80, which is the next target.
Flexion Theraptc (NASDAQ:FLXN) had a good day on Thursday, up 5.78 to 17.23, or 50%, on 2.3 million shares. It opened at 12.66, shot up to 17.35, backed off, and came on again. It traded beautifully. It’s right up against resistance if it doesn’t get a follow-through, but if it does follow-through, look for a test of about 20 1/2-21. It has 6 days to cover.
Fabrinet (NYSE:FN) is really coming back strong, five days in a row. On Thursday, it was up another 1.31 to 35.22, or 3.86%, on 600,255 shares traded. It looks like it’s about to test the spike high around 36 1/2-3/4, and eventually 40.
Gigamon Inc (NYSE:GIMO), which we put a swing on Thursday, was up 27 cents to 31.23, on 295,100 shares traded. I believe this stock is headed to substantially higher levels. It needs to make a move across 32 1/4, and it may happen very quickly. If it does, look for it to head up to 35, 37, and then 40. It has 3.84 days to cover.
