Below is a list of 7 companies that trade under $10 with strong short-term upward trends and high RSIs that are either potentially on the verge of breaking out or are quite possibly due for a near-term pull-back (or, with consolidation on any of them, possibly both).
1. Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AVNR) RSI: 93.46
Avanir describes itself as a biopharmaceutical company that is focused bringing innovative medicines to patients with central nervous system disorders of high unmet medical need. The company seems to be gaining traction as it is continues to create greater awareness concerning its flagship product, Nuedexta, the only FDA approved treatment for PBA which, in turn, has lead to increasing revenues and, potentially, an increased interest in the company’s stock.
The company currently has 132.47M shares out and its stock trades around $2.75, giving it a market cap of roughly $360.6M. The stock’s three month average daily

Looking for ideas on how to find potentially undervalued stocks? If so, you may be interested in this list.
We ran a screen on US-traded stocks of Chinese-based companies for those trading at steep discounts to even their lowest analyst target prices. Because target prices tend to be inflated due to analyst bullishness, we only considered the lowest, most pessimistic analyst target price. Also, for companies with sufficient coverage, we only included those with 5 or more target prices.

Looking for rebound ideas? If you are, the following list might offer a useful starting point. To create this list, we focused on stocks that are being dragged down by extreme pessimism, trading below the 20-day, 50-day and 200-day moving averages. To control the quality of the list, we only focused on companies with market caps above $300M.
To further refine the list, we focused on companies that have seen significant short covering over the last month (i.e., short-sellers think the upside of these stocks outweighs the downside). This is significant, especially when you consider that short sellers tend to be more sophisticated investors (due to the fact that they require strict credit approval to perform these trades). So if these investors are turning bullish/optimistic on a stock, it’s worth paying close attention.

In the never-ending search for potentially undervalued stocks, one indicator is the ratio levered free cash flow/enterprise value. Companies with higher ratios appear more undervalued relative to their levered free cash flows.
Levered free cash flow is the free cash flow after deducting interest payments on outstanding debt. Enterprise value is the sum of the firm’s value from all ownership sources: market cap, outstanding debt, and preferred shares. From this value we subtract cash holdings because, in the event of a takeover, that cash would be used towards the takeover price.
We ran a screen on US-traded stocks of companies based in China for those with relatively high ratios of levered free cash flow/enterprise value, possibly indicating that they are undervalued.

There are many sources to find out what analysts or traders predict the direction of stocks to be, but one of the most interesting is shares shorted.
Shorting a share indicates a specific prediction that the stock’s price will soon fall, and because shorting requires significant amounts of borrowing, short sellers are given background checks to trade and are generally considered “smart money” investors.
We ran a screen on the tech sector for stocks seeing bullish sentiment from short sellers, with significant decreases in shares shorted month-over-month.
