Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. JAZZ is setting up for a nice upside move and I'm going to be there when it occurs. The stock traded higher again on Wednesday as the stock ended the day near highs. The strength at the end of the day tells us to expect continued buying on Thursday. I expect to see a strong upside move once the stok breaks through resistance now at $25.48. Technically, my model remains long. The Relative Strength Index is moving higher, which is a sign of growing strength in the stock. Also the MACD is giving a positive indication. Keep a very close eye on the stock as it will move quickly once it breaks through resistance.

Alcatel-Lucent ALU had a very strong day on Wednesday, as the stock broke out of its resistance trend line on the way to closing up 53 cents on the day. Wednesday's high was $5.26, which is resistance for Thursday's follow through move. You want to keep an eye on ALU so you do not miss when the stock does break through resistance.

DryShips Inc. DRYS is showing signs of buying activity at these levels, as the stock has been able to hold up the past few sessions. Resistance level in DRYS is the high from Tuesday, which is $5.06. Watch the stock closely on Thursday for a possible move.

From TA view, GigaMedia Limited GIGM shows a bullish divergence on MACD while both RSI and Stochastic look oversold. To return to rally mode, the stock needs to cross its short-term resistance at $1.16. A move above this level would be positive for the stock. A reversal above $1.16 will take the stock higher to $1.25 or $1.34 over the medium-term. Short term momentum is oversold with a positive MACD divergence. GIGM may show recovery but rally is likely only above $1.34. The stock has good support at $1.12.
