5 Stocks With Large Insider Buying

From a technical perspective, JNS is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending for the last two months, with shares dropping from $9.52 to its recent low of $7.86 a share. During that downtrend, shares of JNS have been mostly making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has recently started to find some buying support just below $8 share.

If you're in the bull camp on JNS, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $8.10 to $8.81 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 3,011,480 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then JNS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $9.52 to $9.71 a share. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $10 to $11 into focus for JNS.
