February 8th Watch List
STRP – On watch for the move back over 25.00. It is holding the 200 EMA well in very bearish conditions. I like this for a long over 23.00 and a stop at 22.50.
MVIS – This tech mover is poised for a move back up and over 3.00 in a short time. Long entry here is going to be over 2.8s, stop 2.70. Add spot over 2.90 and a sell target of 3.05.
RCII – On watch for a gap fill. Long entry is over 11.20 with a possible add at 11.40. First target is 11.80 and then 12.70. Stop will be at 11.00, initially.
SHOO – On short watch as it moves lower thru the averages with clear support areas below. Looking for a short entry under 30.30, add spot under 30.00. Stop will be 31.00. Targets are 28.60 and then 27.80.
SINA – Going short watch as this mover rolls over at the half dollar. Looking for a short entry under 41.50, stop 42.00. Targets here are 40.20 and then 39.00.
