Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Several Key Updates

Intercloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

In yesterday’s report kicking off the new trading week, we backtracked to our alert of ICLD coming in our report from two Thursday’s ago, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0157.

We mentioned how it had risen exponentially since that report, and specifically cautioned our readers to track its movements closely right from yesterday’s opening bell. The strength of the ICLD close on Friday was simply too strong to ignore and despite already having spiked considerably for us up to that point, the stock turned in another fantastic intraday performance.

From an early low of .05, the stock ran all the way to .0869 during the course of a session where it steadily climbed all day long and closed near its high. That marked an intraday boost of 74% and and an overall move up of 340% from our observed low from Thursday the 2nd,

Once again, with the intensely bullish close to another session, we’re going to have our eyes peeled for further moves from ICLD, whether they come in the form of a continued push upward, or are preceded by a dip-and-rip pattern off of these impressive highs.

Ciber, Inc. CBR

Prior to yesterday, CBR had been stuck in a rut for quite some time, but we noticed some abnormal premarket activity and decided to include it in yesterday’s report. It was a good idea, with CBR running from .4329 to .65, which works out to a 50% intraday pop.

The move came in conjunction with the company announcement that it was mulling over an unsolicited offer to be acquired through merger by Ameri Holdings, Inc. (AMRH) which values it at .75/share of CBR stock.

Given that the stock is still trading in the low .60’s at present, we’ll be interested to continue to monitor its progress as the company deliberates the merger offer.

More Key Updates

Cerulean Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CERU – We began tracking CERU just over a month ago, and after an extended period of slow and steady increases, finally yesterday the stock broke out in a more significant manner.

Our initial alert on CERU came on the 3rd of February, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 1.11. Yesterday the stock streaked to an impressive new high of 2.65, which comes out to a total upswing of 139%

______

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. AUPH – AUPH is another stock we’ve been tracking for much of 2017 so far that also broke to new highs yesterday. We witnessed a low of 2.95 in AUPH subsequent to our alert on the stock dated January 27th. Gradual increases over the next month would occur, and since we’ve hit the month of March, the stock has been going haywire.

Yesterday AUPH soared to (and closed at) 10.54 which represents a total move of 257% in less than six weeks!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD, CATB Recaps & More

Intercloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We caught ICLD coming off of its bottom, and tagged the stock in our report from two Thursday’s ago on the 2nd. Subsequent to that, we would witness a low of .0157 in the stock, and since then it has been one big bullish run that led to an impressive new high on Friday.

We’ve stayed with it each step of the way as it rose from that .0157 low to Friday’s top mark of .0465. That works out to a fantastic move of 196% which occurred over a period of just seven trading sessions.

The sheer amount of activity in the stock on Friday, with more than $6M worth of ICLD shares changing hands, coupled with the strong close has us very interested to track its movements as it leaves the starting gate this morning.

We also prepared a video presentation of the ICLD Chart and its recent movements that you can view by clicking the graphic below:

Catabasis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CATB

Speaking of catching plays coming off of their bottoms, we signaled CATB in Friday’s premarket report, noting the monster gap on its chart to the upside.

We highlighted this one just in the nick of time, as the move it made during Friday’s session ultimately provided for the filling of around three quarters of that gap. CATB ran from a low of 1.58 and went on to hit a high of 2.76, for a very respectable intraday pop of 75%

In terms of what we want to see moving forward, we’ll be looking for CATB to maintain a level of support each day higher than the previous session.

Side Note: These two winners (ICLD, CATB) from Friday’s report also happened to turn in the two top-gaining performances for the entire NASDAQ exchange for Friday’s session!

Aviragen Therapuetics, Inc. AVIR

We also want to issue a quick alert on yet another potential bottom play that appears to be perfectly primed for a rebound. As you can see plainly on the chart snapshot below, there is a sizable gap to fill to the upside, and our favorite indicators are screaming ‘bullish’ at this point.

The chances of seeing a rebound out of AVIR sooner rather than later seem quite good as we kick off another trading week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: More New Highs for OCRX, Updates

Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX

We caught OCRX coming up off its bottom and included it in Wednesday’s morning report. That day the stock ran from .77 to 1.15 (+49%) on massive volume.

We mentioned as much in yesterday’s premarket report, highlighting the strong close, and noting that “another bullish session could be forthcoming” provided the stock didn’t dip below 1.10 on any pullbacks. We got just what we were looking for; another bullish session as the stock traded up from 1.24 to 1.94, an intraday increase of 56%

It registers as a two-day swing of 152% over our observed low from Wednesday, and we’re going to want to be on the lookout for the stock to have a strong close to the week as well. It closed at 1.89, just under the high of day, once again with huge volume on the order of sixteen times the monthly average.

Caterpillar, Inc. CAT – Options Update

Our regular readers will recall our options idea on Caterpillar that we offered up in our report from last Friday morning. We were tracking the stock over a significant backslide in the sessions leading up to that and felt it had further to fall, so we highlighted the CAT 04/07 $88-85 Puts, choosing an extended expiration date to give our idea time to mature.

Since then, it has worked like a charm, with our identified contracts each making triple-digit percentage gains as CAT stock continues to fall:

$88 Calls – Range: .50-1.36 – Max Gain: 172%
$87.50 Calls – Range: .51-1.22 – Max Gain: 139%
$85 Calls – Range: .27-.74 – Max Gain: 208%

Bottom-Bounce Watchlist

Catabasis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CATB – We’re interested to follow CATB, which we noticed is coming up off its bottom and gapping up in the premarket this morning. Even at its early high of 1.79, there’s still a sizable portion of the monster gap we pointed out below left to fill.

Pareteum Corp. TEUM – In the case of TEUM, it began to show hints of a reversal yesterday after several bearish sessions, and it too is gapping up in premarket trading today. We’ll keep an eye on this one as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: OCRX Recap, Options & More

Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX

We noticed OCRX gapping up off of its bottom yesterday in the premarket, relaying that fact along to our readers in our morning report. The stock had a major gap to fill to the upside leading into yesterday’s session which we pointed out with a chart snapshot, and the excellent intraday run that ensued made some good headway in terms of filling a portion of that gap.

The stock traded in a range from .77 to 1.15 yesterday, for an intraday rise amounting to 49% and did so on immense volume to the tune of roughly 15X the 30-day average.

This morning in premarket trading we’re seeing another gap-up, trading as high as 1.37 so far. We’ll need to keep our eyes peeled right from the starting gun this morning as another bullish session could be forthcoming. We’re going to want to see yesterday’s closing value of 1.10 hold as support on any pullbacks in order to sustain our immediate interest.

e.l.f Beauty, Inc. ELF – Options Idea

We caught ELF on the heels of a strong earnings report wherein healthy beats on both earnings and revenues were announced. The stock is gapping up in premarket trading today, having breached the $30-mark with an early high of 30.99.

We always like a good post-earnings options idea so we’re going to formulate one that we can follow for the remainder of this week and into the next. We will be tracking the three sets of contracts in the range of ELF 03/17 $25-35 Calls over the next few sessions for potential quick strike trades.

Northern Dynasty Minerals. Ltd. NAK

We highlighted NAK in yesterday’s watchlist after noticing the stock had been trending steadily downward toward its 200DMA. We banked on the hunch that it would find support around that area, and were essentially spot-on in assuming a reversal was in the cards.

The stock underwent a classic dip-and-rip pattern, trading in a range from 1.08-1.34 for a modest intraday upswing of 24% While it didn’t blow our socks off on the first day, we still believe that serious upside potential exists for NAK from its current standing. All indicators are pointing to the strong possibility of this stock returning to the 2.00-level or better in the near future.

Additionally, a hike in the federal interest rates, which many expect as soon as this month, could have a positive impact on precious metal plays like this one, so it will be interesting to see what lays in store for NAK.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TXHD, AUPH Recaps & More

Textmunication Holdings, Inc. TXHD

We included TXHD in yesterday’s extended watchlist after picking it up on a routine premarket volume scan, and we ended up being extremely happy we did so, with the stock making the top gains out of anything else we mentioned for the day.

Right from the opening bell, it blasted off from a low of .0042 and rocketed to a high of .0094, giving nimble traders the chance at intraday gains of up to 124%

TXHD closed at .0075 having traded massive volume, maintaining a good portion of the ground it gained during the day, so we’ll be eager to continue tracking its movements.

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We remained hot on the trail of ICLD after issuing reminders in our reports on Thursday and Fridays that it had begun to rebound off of its 52-week lows.

Thursday we had witnessed a low of .0157, and in yesterday’s newsletter we commented on the rapidly rising RSI and strong close, and sure enough, the stock continued its solid run-up on the chart.

ICLD traded in a range from .0221 to .0324, a 47% intraday boost, and an overall increase of 106% over our observed low from three sessions prior.

Aurinia Pharmceuticals, Inc. AUPH

The last time we put a tag on AUPH was at the end of January, and at the time, the stock was trading around $3, briefly touching a low of 2.95.

What occurred during the month of February was a slow and steady increase peaking at just under $4, but as we’ve come into March, the PPS has been ramping up much more intensely.

Yesterday, AUPH broke out to a new high of 7.32, which marks an overall upswing of 148% in the span of roughly five weeks.

Bottom-Watchers

Both Function(x) Inc. FNCX and Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. OCRX are going to be on our radars as potential rebound plays. FNCX has a excellent looking , ripening chart, and OCRX is gapping up off its own bottom this morning.

Each of these NASDAQ-listed stocks are required to work toward getting their share prices back above the 1.00 minimum standard, or face de-listing.
