Facebook has had a tremendous year, but it really started picking up steam over the summer. The stock is up A LOT on good earnings, analyst upgrades and great future prospects; the technical picture has been rather clean, too.

Momentum indicators are about to turn higher, and we have a great chance to move back up to the recent highs. Options volume has also been off the charts (in bullish territory).
