With the way the price action has been, some traders are getting jumpy and they may panic.
To be honest with you, I don’t think it’s time to get on the defensive and stay on the sidelines.
Why?
Momentum stocks are popping off.
I mean we’ve seen stocks like CBAT, UONE, SPI, TATT, NETE, SUNW take off — and that tells me there are still plenty of opportunities in the market, if you know where to look.
Allow me to show you which stocks I believe can take off next, and how I may look to play them.
Three Stocks Set To Build Momentum This Week
When it comes to trading momentum stocks, I like to stick with chart patterns and catalysts. These three stocks I’m about to show you have been hot, and I want to show you which catalysts I’m noticing, and specific levels I have my eye on.
Cardiff Oncology (CRDF)
- This is a clinical Stage pharmaceutical company developing cancer treatments
- On Sep. 17, the company presented at a major European Oncology conference, indicating its lead drug, onvansertib, is showing promise in treating multiple types of highly-mutative cancers
- The stock caught a price target raise from Maxim – price target was raised from $6 to $14, buy rating reiterated
- The market has been enthusiastic about the news – stock is up over 80% since the announcement and more than 1000% YTD
- CRDF is currently consolidating above $10, very close to its recent all-time highs
- The stock is in a bull flag / pennant patter, and I think it makes sense to look around the $10 – $10.50 level
Next up, SAVA is on my radar.
Cassava Sciences Inc (SAVA)
- A clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops drugs for nervous system disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease
- On Sep. 3, the company announced it was granted a U.S. Patent on its lead drug candidate
- The number of people living with Alzheimer’s is expected to increase dramatically over the next few years, according to the Alzheimer’s Association
- The company published Phase 2b results on Sep. 14, which have shown significant improvements in patients
- Maxim Group upgraded the stock with $14 price target and H.C.Wainwright & Co with $20 price target
- Insider buying: on Sep. 24, the director bought 10,000 shares of the stock at $9.59
The stock has set new 52 week highs today with a bullish volume pattern. In my opinion, if SAVA closes above $12 next week we might see a massive breakout with an intermediate-term target of $15.
Scientific Games (SGMS)
- The company provides gambling and lottery products to a wide range of customers all over the world
- On Sep. 14, a renowned investor Ron Perelman announced the sale of his 34.9% stake in the company to Australian fund Caledonia for $28 per share – a premium of nearly 40% from the prior day’s close
- The transaction’s valued the company at $2 billion
- Jefferies upgraded the stock to $50 from a prior target of $20.
- The stock closed at $35.42, up over 900% from March lows
- It’s also breaking above a major $30 resistance area – hasn’t been able to hold there in over 2 years.
- I like it consolidating above highs and will be looking to join any dips against $30
