4 IT Stocks Rising on Unusually Heavy Trading

Today's Volume: 90.97 million

From a technical perspective, FB is ripping higher here with monster upside volume and its moving into breakout territory above some near-term overhead resistance at $24.25. This move has now pushed FB into its previous gap down zone from last July that started around $27.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in FB as long as it's trending near or above its breakout level of $24.25 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 54.73 million shares as bullish. If FB can maintain this trend, then this stock will set up to re-test or possibly take its next major overhead resistance levels at $27 to $29.50.
