Cell Therapeutics (CTIC) Technical Analysis

CTIC stock closed over $0.49 on Tuesday. There is no resistance until the 200 day moving average at $0.79. A close over the 200 DMA would set up some kind of retest of $0.97. I like pullbacks into the $0.40's.

Dow Jones Support & Resistance Levels - May 6, 2009

Resistance Levels: 8500, 8700

http://stockcharts.com/ - Chart

Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones hit another 3 month high today but is hitting up against some strong resistance at 8500. A close above 8500 would send a strong signal to me and many others. Pullbacks to the 10 day moving average will be a nice support level with a stop loss on a close below that level. Things still look really good but we might trade sideways again here.

Stocks to Buy May 6, 2009 5/6/09

Tuesday, during regular trading hours, there were many stocks that continued to break out to the upside. Below is a list of stocks that are worth watching for May 6, 2009. Also, check out the Biggest Stock Gainers of the Day. You can also find previous stocks to buy reports - Right Here

Discuss Stocks - http://stockstobuy.org

Stocks to Watch - 5/6/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Financials: The bank stocks appear to be heating up again as the stress test results get closer. The main financial stock I watch is the Financial Bull 3x ( FAS ). FAS stock hit $10 Tuesday morning, $0.05 shy of the April 2009 high. As you can see from my FAS chart, this is a big resistance area. Do you think the stock market has topped? If you do, you might want to buy some Financial Bear ( FAZ ) either as a short play or to protect your long positions. When you see FAS break through $10.05, you can sell FAZ at a small loss and re access.

Citigroup ( C ) - Citigroup stock broke out Tuesday morning above the $3.35 high back in late April. The daily high was $3.47 on Tuesday which is the only resistance level holding Citi from testing $3.89 and above. Volume is very strong!!

Bank of America ( BAC ) - BAC stock hit $11.12 Tuesday morning, just shy of the mid April high of $11.58. A break above $11.58 and I think you will see further upside.

Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (PEIX) - PEIX stock is breaking out on no news. I am watching $0.68 resistance which is the high of 2009. If PEIX takes out $0.68, I don't see any selling pressure until at least $0.90.

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTIC) - CTIC will close above previous resistance of $0.49 Tuesday. The next level I see is the 200 day moving average located at $0.78. I will be buying pullbacks back to $0.49 and under.

MGM Mirage (MGM) - The casino stocks such as MGM and LVS have been on fire. MGM could go back to the 200 day moving average before the sellers step in. The 200 day moving average is located at $14.92. After $14.92, there is resistance at $16.89.

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (ABK) - ABK stock was breaking out all day Tuesday. Currently at $1.30, I don't see anything until the $1.60-$1.75 area.

Boeing Co. (BA) - Jim Cramer was out Tuesday saying he is putting a buy on Boeing and it is ready for a bounce. Jim Cramer thinks BA is the cheapest stock in the Dow Jones.
