A secondary entry is a place to add a smaller amount of shares, such as a bounce off the 10-week moving average or a three-weeks-tight pattern. Cavium (CAVM), a San Jose, Calif.-based chip designer, is closing in on a 53.41 buy point in a cup-without-handle base.

The buy point now provides support to the stock.

Celgene (CELG) cleared a flat base entry of 91.31, rising 1.70 to 91.31, but volume faded into the close. It closed just above a flat-base buy point of 90.60.
