  • Diffusion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:DFFN) had a huge day on Thursday, exploding 2.82, or 92%, to 5.90, on 12.5 million shares. It had a big run-up and pullback, popped, had a 5-wave corrective pullback, spiked up to a double-top, had a nominal new high before a late pullback. In after hours, it was coming up again. At this point, it may not be done. If it gets above 6.60-.65, it could ramp-up to 7.00, and 8.00.
  • Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) popped 77 cents, to 87.14, on 37.7 million shares on Thursday. It’s in a ramping-up mode after the breakaway gap mid-April and is now firming up in the next rising flag. Ultimately, I’m looking for 98.00 going forward.
  • Qudian (NYSE:QD), in particular, exploded and broke out of its base the first part of April, ran up, pulled back, and then took off. On Thursday, it popped 80 cents, or 11%, to 8.31, on 15.2 million shares, which is big volume for this stock. Going forward, my target is 10-10 1/2.
  • Sientra (NASDAQ:SIEN) may have broken the declining topsline and channel on Thursday, advancing 64 cents, or 7.6%, to 9.06, on 2.1 million shares. Now, this channel looks like it might be in jeopardy. Initially, resistance is at 10-10 3/4 range. If it gets through that, targets are 12, and then 15.
  • Scorpio Tankers (NYSE:STNG) bounced 1.86, or 7.16%, to 27.82, on 2.3 million shares on Thursday. It broke out a couple weeks ago and I gave you a swing on it and has be ramping up quite nicely since then. The next target is 32.
  • Shockwave Medical (NASDAQ:SWAV) gained 2.07, or 5.3%, to 41.14, on 450,771 shares traded on Thursday. It’s snapping back after couple days of a pullback consolidation. It had the big run-up and support now is at 38 3/4. The first target is 45 and secondary target is 50.
