Exact Sciences: Downtrend May Be Broken

192
Exact Sciences jumped on strong earnings two weeks ago, and some traders may think the oncology stock has further upside.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish price gap on May 2 after results beat estimates. Prices apparently broke a falling trendline in the process.

EXAS then consolidated before ending yesterday at a three-month high. Is it getting ready to escape the recent range?

Third, Wednesday featured a bullish outside candle.

Fourth, prices tested and held their rising 8-day exponential moving average (EMA). The 8-day EMA is additionally above the 21-day EMA and MACD is rising. Those signals are potentially consistent with short-term bullishness.

Finally, there may be space to the upside because the 52-week high is 33 percent above the last price.
