Stocks to Watch for October 18, 2013

NQ Mobile Inc (NYSE:NQ) broke out to new 52-week highs today. I am expecting to see the stock continue this move on Friday. As long as the stock stays above its 50-day exp moving average the bullish scenario is still intact. Technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line. Long setup.

Short covering in some rare earth stocks produced strong gains in Avalon Rare Metals Inc (NYSEMKT:AVL) stock, that closed above its short-term exp moving averages on solid volume. This could be a significant turning point. On watch.

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACHN) performed well today, closing up 3.7% on no news. Daily technical indicators are showing signs of turning around, which suggest a near-term bottom, including large positive divergences on MACD, Stochastics & RSI in daily. If the potential buy signal confirms itself, I will be looking for a move to the resistance area at 3.28-3.5 at the very least.

Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARIA) is another Biotech name that looks poised for bounce from bottom. Daily RSI starting to turn up from deep oversold levels. I think short term the stock will break back over $5.

Royale Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROYL) starting to get some momo once again. In my view, the stock has formed a bottom in short-term and I expect a move past 2.76 to take the stock towards the target of 3.10 with stop-loss at 2.41. The daily technical indicators are looking mildly bullish. RSI is moving up and the MACD has a bullish crossover. Let's keep an eye on it.
