Average Volume: 201,964 Volume % Change: 174% Shares of ICLR are moving modestly higher today after William Blair upgraded the stock to outperform from market perform. >>22 Biopharma Stocks With Breakout Potential in 2012 From a technical perspective, ICLR is moving modestly higher here as the stock pushes back above its 50-day moving average of $21.75 with above average volume. This move is quickly pushing the stock within range of a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once ICLR takes out some near-term overhead resistance at $23 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades if ICLR can sustain a move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above 201,964 shares. If we get that action soon, then look for ICLR to re-test and possibly take out its April high of $23.81.
