From a technical perspective, PPHM is soaring back above its 200-day moving average of 79 cents with heavy volume, and it's broken out above some near-term overhead resistance at 78 cents. If this momentum buying can continue, then PPHM could manage to trigger more near-term breakout moves. Those breakouts will hit once PPHM takes out $1.01 to $1.14 with high volume.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in PPHM as long as it's trending above its 200-day at 79 cents, and near its daily highs with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 875,371 shares as bullish. If we continue to see that action, then PPHM could take out $1.01 to $1.14 prior to its earnings report. On the flipside, I would avoid this stock if it moves back below 79 cents with heavy volume.
