It was a good day for TheTechTraders on Monday as Wall Street had a solid session. Many of our stocks did well, particularly the cannabis stocks. Let’s take a look at a few of those, along with some others.
Aphria Inc. (APHA) also popped on Monday, gaining 1.22, or 13%, to 10.84, on nearly 30 million shares. This is the fourth day in a row this stock has been up. It’s right at resistance, and if it follows through, we could see 13 1/2-3/4.
Cronos Group Inc. (CRON) made a monster move of late, jumping 2.44, or 11%, to 23.25, on 67.5 million shares on Monday. This stock has gone from under 10.00 to over 25. That’s 150% gain in one month. It may be time for a pullback. It’s also at the long-term channel top. With a spike-up like it has had, and increasing volume of over 67 million shares, this stock may need to back and fill, and relax. Momentum is still strong though.
Ceragon Networks Ltd. (CRNT) popped to 5.00 in the morning on Monday, before pulling back and gradually closing up only 5 cents, or 1.09%, to 4.64, on 2 million shares, so it backed of about 35 cents. It needs to consolidate a little bit, but the next target is 5.85, and then 6 1/2 and 7.00.
Evolus, Inc. (EOLS) saw gains on Monday after the spectacular news that the FDA approved their new wrinkle treatment for adults. It jumped 2.15, or 12%, to 20.50, on 8.2 million shares, more than 20 times the normal volume. It was up 7 days in a row, and on Monday, it finally got some profit-taking after the initial pop. This stock ran to 25.00 in June of last year. Targets are 25, and then 28.
Microbot Medical Inc. (MBOT), one of our swing trades, is going to take off. On Monday, it popped 42 cents, or 4.43%, to 9.91, on 1.3 million shares. On Jan 14, it exploded, pulled back, coiled, and started to move. It has a 3-day move off the low, out of the apex. If volume picks up, this stock could fly. Something in the 12 1/2-14 range short-term wouldn’t surprise me.
Roku, Inc. (ROKU) is also looking good. It popped at the end of Dec, coiled, ran up, reversed, ran up 4 days in a row, and on Monday it snapped back 2.22, or 5%, to 47.43, on 28.4 million shares, reaching as high as 50.70, which is the biggest high it’s had since Nov. I think it may test the gap around 51 1/2, which is the next target.
TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (TXMD) is coming to the forefront after the big, declining channel. It popped and flagged, then ran up 3 days in a row, and on Monday it broke out, ran up 37 cents, or 6.86%, to 5.76, on 3.666 million shares. I’m looking for a run at 6.15, 6.75, and 7.75.

Days to cover is the amount of short interest divided by the company's average daily share volume. In other words, the number of days required to close out all the short positions. A higher number means more potential fuel to a stock’s rally as shorts cover, and thus accelerate the move, when the stock’s price rises.
On Balance Volume (OBV), developed by Joe Granville, is a running summation of volume on up-days minus volume on down days. OBV rises when volume on up days outpaces volume on down days -- and falls when volume on down days is stronger. A rising OBV reflects positive volume pressure that can lead to higher prices. Conversely, falling OBV reflects negative volume pressure that can foreshadow lower prices.
