March 22nd Watch List
Cardiovascular Systems (NASDAQ:CSII) – On watch for the third time in the past month. Maybe this will be the time it goes. Long entry over 10.30-10.40, add spot over 10.70. Stop is at 10. Room here is up to 11.85 if we get into the gap.
Vipshop Holdings Limited (NYSE:VIPS) – After seeing the 20 and 50 EMAs pinch, we can tell it was time to step up or break down. Well, VIPS chose up and is in the beginning of a bull trend. Long over 12.92-13.00, stop 12.50. Room to 13.50 and then 14.60.
Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:LRCX) – On reversal watch as this big mover has put up over 25% in a month. I see room here back down to 76, as this has bumped and failed 80 now. Looking for an entry under the lows, 78.95. If this moves higher, even better, I will watch to start a short as close to 80 as possible. RSI is in overbought land now.
United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS) – A sympathy mover to FDX, this overbought high flier is testing big resistance with an extended daily chart. Looking for a short back down to 103-102.50. Entry will be near 106 or under 105, add spot under 104.
