It was an interesting day on Wall Street on Tuesday, which closed narrowly on the session, but mixed on the technicals, so we will take a look at longs and shorts.
Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ISIS) had a big day on Tuesday. The key resistance line, going back several weeks, has contained the prices, but on Monday, it had a spectacular surge, popping 1.48 to 15.09, or 11%, on 3.3 million shares. Look for the next target to be around 16.60 short-term and secondary target around 19.

On the Short Side…
CEC Entertainment Inc. (CEC) rolled over, formed a bear flag, and spiked down to 28.99, before it closed at 29.56. It looks like it’s starting to collapse. Don’t be surprised if this stock reaches 25 anytime soon.
