Two Higher, Two Lower
By Harry Boxer – – Retailers lead our list of top charts to watch, while two technology stocks lead on the short side.
Lululemon Athletica Inc. (LULU) sprinted up 9%, or $7.25, to close at $85.96 on extremely heavy volume of 10.7 million shares traded Wednesday. That’s more than five times its average volume.

The move broke the stock out of a bull wedge consolidation, reaching a new all-time high of $87.98 intraday. Next target: $94.
Macy’s, Inc. (M) moved up 4%, or $1.21, closing at $29.07 on 11 million shares traded.
