Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND) has a nice, orderly, declining channel and it popped out on Wednesday with a breakaway gap, gaining 9.88, or 7%, to 160.48, on 6.4 million shares. That’s not a lot of volume for this stock. Resistance it at 175, and then 200, which are the targets.
Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (MARA) popped three days in a row, and the third day it took out resistance. On Wednesday, it was up 78 cents, or 29%, to 3.45, on 2.4 million shares, which is good volume for this stock. It looks like it’s headed to resistance at 4.00. That’s the highest price in 10-11 months. A nice base has developed which could take this to a much longer move to 6, and then 8, which are the targets going forward.
Overstock.com, Inc. (OSTK) exploded on big volume on Wednesday, jumping 2.74, or 25 1/2%, to 13.50, on 14 million shares. This is the biggest volume we’ve seem in this stock, maybe ever. This move takes it out above resistance. It was a solid 3-point run. I’m looking for a follow-through to 14, and then 17-18. Those are the targets going forward.
Riot Blockchain, Inc. (RIOT) exploded for four days in a row, and on Wednesday, it was up 49 cents, or 15%, to 3.79, on 10 million shares. That was a decent close, but not great. I have the targets at 5.00 and 6.00.

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.
