IBB
LABU, long trade ideaI've been in an out of LABU over the years. I rode it up recently to the upper trend line. I now see a pullback complete and a chance we are breaking out of a bull flag higher. Stop anywhere below the flag (dotted red lines) should break above the upper trend line and move higher. IMHO
MRK: Low risk long opportunityI think $MRK offers a terrific low risk long here, a great biotech company to own in this particular juncture.
$IBB is acting very strong, there is a monthly uptrend active currently in the sector, so, finding the strongest contenders will yield great returns going forward.
Best of luck,
Ivan Labrie.
Biotech Season Off to a Good Start
NASDAQ:PIRS catching some short covering perhaps near end of the day, sending it up near the critical 5 area. Low 4s held very well after a month long run and consolidation. Expecting this to breakout over 5 barring any extraordinary news; not following company details but certainly ripe for a catalyst. Wouldn't be surprised with upgrade ratings or purchase disclosures in the coming weeks that may drive it further in the near-term.
Biotech seasonality is upon us, further adding to my long bias here.
TEVA: Potential monthly bottom spottedI'm entering longs here, averaging in gradually. I anticipate a monthly scale rally, back to 54.59 possibly, coming off a double bottom at key support, with an extremely low valuation, and positive news regarding breakthroughs in delaying drug metabolism.
Good luck!
