After an opening dip in the market, stocks have rallied strongly since Tuesday morning.

The day's 300-point Dow Jones Industrials follow-thru was on top of the 200 points the index tacked on Tuesday. The S&P 500 performed just as well.

On Wednesday, the market is rallying further and hopes are for a run to new all-time highs.

If so, are there stocks investors should be watching for potential breakouts?

Yes, check out Pacira.

Review the 1-year chart of Pacira with the added notations:

Pacira rallied from April of last year up until its eventual peak at $110 in August.

The stock has since dropped to the mid-80’s twice while rallying back up to challenge its August high.

The key for Pacira is the obvious resistance the stock is running into at $110. A solid move above that mark would also be a new 52-week high.

Investors should watch for a possible breakout on Pacira. The stock closed on Tuesday at $107.33, just a few points below resistance.
