Stocks that are making big percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst like a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big % moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst upgrade.

CalAmpContent on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
CalAmp(CAMP) develops and markets wireless communications solutions that deliver data, voice and video for critical networked communications and other applications. This stock is trading up 10% at $4.30 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $3.84-$4.4952-week Range: $2.46-$4.49Volume: 280,000Three-Month Average Volume: 82,762This company is soaring higher today after CalAmp announced it was awarded a $4.7 million extension of its development contract to help design and supply initial radios for the North American interoperable Positive Train Control system. From a technical standpoint, this stock has started to trigger a big breakouttoday now that it has begun a high-volume move above some past overhead resistance at $3.85 to $4 a share. If this stock can sustain a move and close above $4, then I would look for shares of CAMP to trend significantly higher in the coming days and weeks, as long as it stays above those breakout levels.

Netlist(NLST) designs, manufactures and sells memory subsystems for the server, high performance computing and communications markets. This stock is trading up 7.3% at $3.06 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $2.65-$3.2952-week Range: $1.04-$3.29Volume: 2,360,000Three-Month Average Volume: 216,180This stock has been hot all week after the company showed in a regulatory filing on Monday that it had inked deals with IBM (IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).From a technical standpoint, this stock is now approaching some massively overbought levels; its current relative strength index is showing a reading of 90.5. Any reading over 70 is usually considered overbought for any stock, so NLST is extremely overbought. If you're bullish on this name, I would let this pullback significantly from current levels. There are a number of gaps that could easily get filled on this stock below its current price. I would wait for these large recent gains to consolidate before I went long NLST.

The stock is also currently trading well below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. That said, traders can look to play the next major breakout that will trigger on ahigh-volume move above $2 and then $2.25. If we see that action soon, look for a run back towards $3.

Pacific Ethanol(PEIX) is a marketer and producer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western U.S. It produces and sells ethanol and its co-products and provides transportation, storage and delivery of ethanol through third-party service providers. This stock is trading up 27% to $1.70 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $1.30-$1.8552-week Range: $0.25-$7.98Volume: 24,000,000Three-Month Average Volume: 5,578,690This is a stock I highlighted last week in "5 Stocks Under $10 With Big Upside Potential" when it was trading near $75 cents a share. Since that piece, this stock has soared to a weekly high of $1.85. Today the company announced it has retired in full its $35 million senior convertible notes with its final payment in shares of its common stock. From a technical standpoint, this stock is extremely overbought now since its relative strength index is showing a reading of 91. Any reading over 70 is considered overbought, so we are reaching some extreme overbought levels with PEIX here. The stock is also approaching some past overhead resistance at $1.88 and at $2.10 (its 200-day moving average). If you're bullish on this name, I would wait for some consolidation and a big pullback before thinking about buying.

Yes, volume is very strong, but that volume has much to do with the public offering. I would only consider getting interested in this stock from the long side if it can manage to move back above its 50-day moving average of $9.23 on high volume.

Market players should now watch for a sustained move and close above $3.53. >>Top-Rated Oil & Gas StocksIf we see that action today, then look to play the next major breakout on ROYL, which will trigger on a high-volume move over some near-term overhead resistance at $3.64. A high-volume move over that level will set up this stock to potentially re-test more resistance at $4 to $4.16 a share. Any high-volume move over $4.16 in the near future should be considered very bullish for this stock.

Syntroleum(SYNM), along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the commercialization of its technology to produce synthetic liquid hydrocarbons that are substantially free of contaminants found in hydrocarbon products. This stock is trading up 7.9% at $1.15 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $1.06-$1.2952-week Range: $0.76-$2.45Volume: 1,634,000Three-Month Average Volume: 409,846From a technical standpoint, this stock is very close to triggering a big breakout if it can manage to sustain a move and close above $1.28 with high volume. The volume today is very bullish, so traders should now watch for a close over $1.28 in the coming days or weeks. I would consider it even more bullish if SYNM can trade back above its 200-day moving average of $1.50 with high volume soon. Any move over $1.50 could easily set this stock up to fill a massive gap down in price from $2 a share back in July. Follow Stockpickr on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.
