Watchers for the 4-14-16 trading session

RPRX

New Supernovae scan return. A 1 day move up which closed under the highs and below the open. Volume higher Wednesday. Eventually this can be shorted since it is up so absurdly. I suspect like many such plays it can go further than anyone expects, though. Conditional entry. On a higher open, it might yield a rapid green to red on Thursday and spike down for a short scalp. This might even be a gap and crap. A fade on confirmed weakness cues anytime or heavy dumping on volume from or near the bell. Ideal is a flat or barely green or red open, followed by a big move down on volume to short into. Avoid big gaps, especially downward ones. Do not short into initial strength or greening. Box and drop to wait for the distribution print, if desired and avoid top fish timing fades. Keep flat on positive price action, no scalps.



SID

A possible short on a 3.60 fail. 4 up sessions in a row. No longs. Keep tight stops, short squeeze bait.



ATHX

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 2.37/holds. Low volume on the rise, which is a good sign for new buyers. Keep flat on real weakness aside from a typical red to green move, etc. Stops just under the low last time or the initial 30 minute one on Thursday. More conservatively a stop placed under Wednesday's close, too. The low on that day is too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 2.30 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts.



CPST

In play both ways. As a long on continuation of momentum above 1.97/holds. Or as a scalp up at or near the gun for a scalp buy. Or, as a short on a fall fail of 1.80/and holds. Or as a scalp sell on a pop down at or near the bell. Avoid all big gaps. Be careful maintaining a short on a reversal back over 1.89. The fade is more likely given the price action on Wednesday, but keep an open mind.



CRC

B/O scan. I like it long back over 9.73 and holds. Ideal to stay over that on tests aside from early noise if it triggers. Stops also possible just under the close on Tuesday or the 1st 30 minute low of Wednesday. Avoid all shorts and all big gaps. The low on Tuesday is too far away to use for risk managing stops. Also a long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. Moderate volume on the rise, a tepid sign for new buys. Exiting below 9.50 on fails after trigger entry is possibly advisable. Early r/g buy?



SABR

Hammer scan long. The tail is not too long to use the low as a stop level unless the position is very large. Use the previous session close alternatively instead. Trigger is above the high of last time, here above 28.75/holds. Avoid all big gaps, especially down ones. If it gaps over the trigger or 28.51 let it test/hold/perk 1st before entering. No shorts, keep flat on redness. Big buy volume, which may mean overt buy interest is here, suggesting reversal upwards is underway.



CONN

I like this long on a break out over 13.07/holds. Or on a spike up at or near the gun as a scalp buy. Keep flat on after the noise candle bearish price action or on morning panic dumps. Watch for a early pseudo weakness with a a red to green move to purchase into. Avoid all big gaps and shorts. Possible short squeeze over the trigger. Modest volume gap down debut sizable rise on Wednesday. Requires constant monitoring. Stops just under 12.50 is one risk managing approach, since a fail back under indicates failure on the buy.
