Stock Picks for Tuesday, January 04

Happy New Year Investors ! It’s time to kick-start 2011 with new trade Ideas for the coming trading session.

( click to enlarge )

Ciena Corporation ( NASDAQ:CIEN ) was a big winner today. The price of the stock closed up $0.66, a 3.14% increase. During the trading day, over 3.7 million shares of Ciena's were traded. The stock seems to have broken out of a three-week trading range in the $21 area. I feel that there will be a continuation move tomorrow, but I want to see it break through a big psychological resistance at the $22 level. There are several short and mid term technical indications suggesting that CIEN could make a move to higher levels. Keep a close eye on CIEN for Tuesday.

Apple Inc. ( NASDAQ:AAPL ) hit a new 52-week high today, trading as high as $330.26, before settling at a close of $329.57. I'll be watching the stock on Tuesday, looking for a follow through move. Resistance reflects today’s high of $330.26. Keep an eye on AAPL because there is good upside in this stock.

Trade ideas for next week

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) - Looking at the technical chart above, we can see a nice pull back after recent advance. The volume on this pull back has been minimal compared to the volume on the way up, so there is nothing to worry about. This stock is still displaying upside momentum and is poised to move higher from these levels. Let’s see whether the stock can gather enough momentum to break through $6.32 next week. If the Bulls are able to push through this level, there will be another rally towards $6.68 . The uptrend continuation scenario is slightly more likely at the moment. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop-loss at $5.69.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)  enjoys a strong support at the 318-319 zone. Only a close below this zone would have negative implications. The near-term trend is bullish and would remain so, as long as the stock holds above this area. Fresh buying may be considered on a close above 325.

Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) traded up on Friday and I am looking for a continuation move next week. Resistance is $62.15 and I expect an increase in volume once the stock breaks through.

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) continued to show strength with another gain on strong volume. Today's rally put shares above potential round-number resistance at the $5.50 level, which is a bullish sign. The technical chart looks very bullish with a short-term target of $5.88.

Other stocks to watch :

Shares of Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) continue to be very volatile and a stock worth watching. I plan to buy PLUG the next time it breaks up through $.40

Shares of Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) closed back above $12.50 on Friday, which is bullish. Support is located around $12.28.

Shares of Universal Travel Group (NYSE:UTA) are starting to heat up again and are worth watching. As I have been saying, I think this stock can trade above $7 during the next four weeks. The stock is forming a possible inverted head and shoulders pattern with a neckline at $7.

Shares of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT)  hit a new 52 week high on heavy volume Thursday. Resistance is located at $9.36 and then $9.45.
