The short-term outlook for Riverbed Technology, Inc. RVBD looks promising from a technical point of view. On Monday, the stock broke out from its trading range on relatively high volume, and the breakout was accompanied by a bullish MACD crossover. Based on Yesterday's action, I expect to see the stock move up in the next coming days. Technically, I'm bullish on the stock. Next major resistance lies at 19.38. Long setup.

I'm bullish on Nuance Communications Inc. NUAN from a short/medium-term perspective. Its current uptrend can prolong further to 16 and then to 16.5 in my opinion. The key short-term resistances are located at 15.49 (convergence of the 200-day exp moving average) and 15.76. Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has been increasing its stake in the company.

There is a clear cup-and-handle formation on this daily chart of Venaxis Inc APPY. The Cup & Handle is a bullish continuation formation that generally occurs in uptrends. I still believe that the overall outlook remains bullish and the possibility of a breakout is quite good considering its pattern formation. The stock faces initial resistance at 2.20 and then at 2.45.
