>>5 Rocket Stocks for a Short Trading Week

Yongye International

Yongye International (YONG) is engaged in the research, development and sales of fulvic acid based liquid and powder nutrient compounds for plant and animal feed used in the agriculture industry. This stock closed up 5.8% to $5.74 on Wednesday.

Wednesday's Range: $1.40-$1.50

52-Week Range: $1.33-$2.55

Volume: 809,000

Three-Month Average Volume: 381,161

From a technical perspective, YONG spiked sharply higher right off its 50-day moving average of $5.45 with above-average volume. This move came after shares of YONG were trading in a tight consolidation pattern for the last few weeks, with shares moving between $5.60 on the upside and $5.36 on the downside. Shares of YONG are now quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if YONG manages to take out its 52-week high of $5.98 and some past overhead resistance at $6.32 with high volume.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in YONG as long as it's trending above 50-day at $5.45 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 381,161 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then YONG will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $7 to $7.50. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $8 to $8.65 into range for shares of YONG.
