Tabb these four healthcare and biotech stocks that all made positive technical moves last week, according to Harry Boxer.

Stocks in the healthcare area popped at the end last week. Traders should take a look as this sector appears ready to breakout. Here are four stocks to watch:

Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) rose 88¢ to $21.13 on 6.7 million shares Thursday. The company announced a new hemp-derived CBD product line.  The stock bounced off the bottom of its declining channel last month and has since been consolidating before breaking out of the channel last week.  A move through recent highs above $22 could lead to our next target of $26.

Mallinckrodt plc. (MNK) jumped 33¢, or nearly 10%, to $3.69 on 7.6 million shares Thursday. The UK-based biopharmaceutical company last week announced findings on a novel predictive model to more quickly identify infants with a rare seizure disorder. A breakthrough lateral resistance in the $4-$4.15 range could accelerate the stock to $5.25.

ProQR Therapeutics N.V. (PRQR) popped 95¢, or nearly 11%, to $9.73 on 396,600 shares Thursday.  The biotech company, which is developing RNA medicines to treat severe genetic rare diseases, announced the first patient dosed in a phase of a trial eye disorder study.  Thursday's move broke the stock above lateral resistance.  Watch for a quick test of $10.25 next, a breakthrough which could lead to $12.

ShockWave Medical, Inc. (SWAV) climbed $2.17 to $43.99 Thursday on 819,600 shares, more than 1.5 times its average volume.  The move, on no news from the medical device company, positioned the stock right at lateral resistance.  A follow-through could take it to the top of its 2.5-month rising channel in the $45-$46 zone.
