Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (NASDAQ:COLL) is one of the biotech stocks we like, and although the market was down on Thursday, it popped, gaining 7 cents, to 27.05, but reaching a high of 27.50, on 360,199 shares traded. It bounced off the lows and might be breaking out of a wedge pattern. It has to get through the 30 area. If it does, we’re looking at mid to high 30’s on this one.
Upland Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPLD) jumped 78 cents, or 2.66%, to 30.05, on shares traded 757,774 shares traded on Thursday. Volume is increasing. The swing is working great. After popping and consolidating, and then the same thing again, it has now formed another wedge, popped out of it on Thursday, and is coming down again after a bullish engulfing day. This stock could very well move into the 33-4 range.
Stocks on the Short Side…..
Swing short Bitauto Holdings (NYSE:BITA) has really been working very well. The December swing short around 32 did run up to 40 before rolling over hard, and now it’s down to 22, and change, having dropped another 1.57, or 6.46%, to 22.73, on 1.6 million shares on Thursday. It looks like an 18-dollar stock to me.
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) was down 2.34, or 2%, to 102.39, on 2.7 million shares on Thursday, closing at the lowest level on a closing basis since October. If the head-and-shoulders top is completed, it may very well accelerate lower, first testing 88-9, and then up to the 80 range.
