First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is extending up 3 days in a row off of a pullback low and support line, having gone from 56.00 to Thursday’s high at 68.70, closing up 5.19, or 8.2%, to 68.53, on 4.9 million shares traded. I’ve been telling you for months now that this stock is headed back to 73, which is the target. It has 6.9 days to cover .
Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NKTR) just won’t quit! It was up another 5.14, or 10%, to 54.83, on 2.9 million shares traded on Thursday. After pulling back a little bit, it held at the 48 1/2 area where support is, and went right back up to the highs at the close. If it accelerates, I will be looking for 61-2 short term. There’s 12.7 days to cover .
Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) gained 90 cents, or 7%, to 14.60, on 5.7 million shares traded with a high of 16.11. I put a swing on this stock on Thursday, because after four waves up, the wedge that formed near the apex could pop. It started to move on Thursday. It didn’t close great. You can see the pullback late in the session. It also formed a big wedge intraday. I will be closely watching to see if they can take out 16 3/4 and 17 1/2. That is the key level for RIOT. If it takes that out, wave 5 can begin, first in the 24 range, and then 30.
XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ:XOMA) continues to look great. After the breakout and it formed a little pennant, it exploded and formed a rising channel. It was up 3.93, or 13.4%, to 33.28, on 376,862 shares traded with a high of 34.07 on Thursday. With a pickup in volume, it looks like it’s headed up to 38-40. That’s my near-term target.
