Here are a few stocks that caught my interest.

Sage Therapeutics (SAGE: NASDAQ) has the highest upside potential indicated at +20% after the stock confirmed a Bullish continuation diamond pattern. The pattern indicates a 6-week to 9-month opportunity which was recognized on March 29^th.  

What was found: 

• This stock has formed a pattern called Continuation Diamond (Bullish), providing a target price for the intermediate-term in the range of 51.00 to 52.75.
• A bullish event triggered for Fast Stochastics when the %K line crossed above the %D line. The close prices are trading closer to the upper end of the recent high-low price range, which is associated with price increases.
• Also the Fast Stochastics %K line has risen above -20 indicating a recovery from oversold.

This matches Trading Central’s “Diamond (Bullish) + Fast Stochastics (USA)” strategy which produced a 10% annualized 5-year historical return.

• The stock's price has broken upward to confirm a classic chart pattern, offering a target price for the intermediate-term in the range of 19.40 to 19.70.
