Quite a few stocks acted well on Tuesday as the stock market had a big day. Let’s take a look at some of the ones that broke out or had a good technical day.
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (ANR), one of our favorite coal stocks right now, developed a nice pattern. It had a big thrust in Sept, pulled back, then ran up to new highs right near the lateral price resistance. On Tuesday, it was up 26 cents to 9.62, or 2.78%, on 26 million shares. If it can get through the line of resistance, this stock could run further up toward the 12.00 target, and then the target at 13 1/2, or so.
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) had a big day on Tuesday after the earnings report came out. After falling in a multi-week wedge, it exploded with a big breakaway gap 5.34 to 36.80, or 17%, on 7.4 million shares. That’s the biggest volume since Aug. Look for this stock to reach 40 short-term.
Phillips 66 (PSX) had a big breakout on Tuesday. This post IPO stock, after the split with Conoco Phillips, has been running nicely, and finally settled into a consolidation. On Tuesday, it had a breakout, popping 2.28 to 50.04, or 4.77%, on 8.2 million shares. The channel projection shows a move up to 55-56 short-term possibly.
Research In Motion Limited (RIMM) recently brokeout and consolidated. It looks good and has a good pattern forming. It looks like it could move higher. Look for a move up to 9.30 short-term, and then 11 intermediate-term.
