NVDA RESISTANCE LEVEL - $18.96

 

NVDA closed slightly higher on Wednesday, but was not able to hit resistance.  The stock is holding strong and should make another move soon.  Resistance stays at $18.96, which reflects Tuesday’s high and 52-week highs as well.  You want to watch NVDA closely because this stock can move quickly as it nears and breaks resistance.

 

 

ONNN RESISTANCE LEVEL - $9.03

 

ONNN is setting up for a breakout move, which could occur on Thursday.  The stock closed slightly higher on Wednesday as it nears the range high of $9.03.  We are buyers of ONNN if it breaks this range high after the first 20 minutes of the trading day.  If the stock gaps above or trades through this high, we need to wait for it to break 52-week highs of $9.12, which were set in September.  ONNN can be a fast moving stock, so watch it closely on Thursday.

 

 

PALM RESISTANCE LEVEL - $11.35

 

PALM ended Wednesday with a surge in buying as the stock closed near highs of the day.  The stock hit a high of $11.35, which is resistance for Thursday’s continuation move.  We are buyers of PALM once the stock breaks through this high.  The stock traded up on good news on Wednesday, which could lead to this continuation move.  Keep PALM on your radar for Thursday’s trading day.

 

 

SQNM RESISTANCE LEVEL - $4.60

 

We are watching SQNM on Thursday as the stock looks ready for a breakout move.  SQNM hit a high of $4.60 on Tuesday, which is resistance for this upcoming move.  We are buyers of SQNM once it breaks through this high and expect to see volume push it higher.  We will watch SQNM closely because this is a stock that will explode with volume as it breaks through resistance.  If SQNM does break resistance, we will look to take profits as the momentum stalls.
