>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop

Boulder Brands

Boulder Brands (BDBD), a marketer of functional food products in the U.S. under the Smart Balance and Earth Balance trademarks, closed up 5% to $9.10 on Tuesday.

Tuesday's Range: $8.61-$9.26

52-Week Range: $4.90-$13.99

Volume: 953,000

Three-Month Average Volume: 866,302

From a technical perspective, BDBD bounced higher here right off some near-term support at $8.50 with above-average volume. This move is coming after the stock recently plunged badly from $13.80 to its low of $7.90. That beat-down pushed shares of BDBD into oversold territory, since its relative strength index reading dipped below 30. Shares of BDBD have now started to rebound off that $7.90 low and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if BDBD manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $9.39 with high volume.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BDBD as long as it's trending above $8.50 and then once it sustains a move or close above $9.39 with volume that hits near or above 866,302 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then BDBD will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 200-day moving average of $11.17 to possible its 50-day moving average of $12.22.
