Stock Market Ideas for Friday, January 21

( click to enlarge )

On today's trading session, Morgan Stanley MS declined initially and found support around $27.59 level. However, subsequently it recovered and rallied 6 percent from the session's low closing at $29.02. The near-term outlook will depend on the price movement in the next few days. I expect to see a breakout of this small range soon. Nevertheless, keep this on your watchlist because the overall market sentiment on MS is pretty bullish. If it breaks out of $29.22, target price is around $32.

Rambus Inc. RMBS closed again above the downtrend line which is a good sign. Until proven otherwise, momentum is to upside.

Biogen Idec Inc. BIIB  broke out to a new all-time high today, accompanied by a strong volume suggesting higher levels. The stock has been in a nice uptrend for the last six months and it looks very strong with both 50 day and 200 day moving average going up. On daily chart above we have a small ascending channel that has been violated to the upside indicating potential further bullish pressure. Technical indicators remain moderately bullish as MACD momentum holds in positive territory and RSI moves sideways slightly above the 50 level. Short-term outlook for the stock is bullish. Buy the stock on dips with a stop-loss at $65.90.
