Palm Inc. (PALM) : Bullish Tekan sen – Kijun sen cross

Palm has a nice little rally last Friday; from 11.02 to around 12.50

The end of day chart shows a bullish Tenkan sen – Kijun sen cross just below the kumo.

This suggest that there may be resistance ahead (possibly at $12.60).

At the same time, this rally brings back memories of PALM at 1 year ago (when Pre was launched). Palm went from $6 to around $9 within a month.

What to look out for:

- more  distribution deals with carriers outside of US

- ‘killer-apps’ for webOS

- further out, webOS in other form factor (other forms of devices apart from cellphones)

- possible deals with media companies

4. At this moment, the bullish trend has not been developed yet as there is no Tenkan sen – Kijun sen cross.
