>>22 Biopharma Stocks With Breakout Potential in 2012

From a technical perspective, ALXA is bouncing higher here right off some near-term support at $4 with above average volume. This move is quickly pushing ALXA within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once ALXA clears some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.37 to $4.99 with high volume. At last check, ALXA has hit an intraday high of $4.40 and volume is just starting to clock in above its three-month average of 434,406 shares.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades as long as ALXA is trending above its 50-day at $3.72, and then once it sustains a move or close above $4.37 to $4.99 with volume that's near or above 434,406 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ALXA will have a great chance of re-filling a previous gap and trending back towards $6 to $7.
