GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) If support in the range of 15.9 to 16.06 holds then the stock should target a retest 17.05 and then possibly 18. However, if it fails then deeper consolidations cannot be ruled out. Although price of the stock is in a clear strong uptrend, the momentum indicators in the chart above are showing signs of weakness. Both stochastic analysis and MACD charts are flashing a bearish outlook for short-term perspective. Traders with short-term perspective can hold the stock as long as it trades above its uptrending 13-day exponential moving average.

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is basing between its major exp moving averages and another trip to the recent highs can not be ruled out. I believe the analyst meeting on Wednesday could be a positive catalyst for First Solar shares.

Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSEMKT:CUR) The stock price finally broke out of the upper line of the triangle pattern, on impressive increasing volume and closed above the line. All indicators are in favor of an upward price movement.

Biodel Inc (NASDAQ:BIOD) is basing here for another move up IMHO. If next week support holds at or above 3.07 (200EMA) then the stock should move further upwards to retest 3.71 and then possibly towards 4.12. My immediate outlook stays bullish. The technical daily chart above shows it's about the time to buy the stock, as 50EMA is about to cross on top over 200EMA to form Golden Cross, a very bullish signal.

Alphatec Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:ATEC) After being trading in a bearish tone for some time the stock appears to making a comeback in favor of the bulls. ATEC has already started its bounce back up and looks poised to break resistance at $1.48. d I think the stock could see $1.75 or better in short-term. This stock is held by major institutions including Paradigm Capital Management, Blackrock, etc.
