Understanding range highs and lows are all you need. #stocksBack on October 27th I made a post highlighting a potential reversal as we approached the range lows from back in June. Over the future months the stock tested the lows, found support, and is not heading toward highs. Range highs and lows and major support and resistance areas have value because they indicate where there is likely to be heavy order flow. In this case it AMGN reacted well and held the lows creating a great risk/reward opportunity.

YTEN 10/10First pullback , second pullback and now we are on the third pullback . That is the actual situation after getting a +93.10% performance over the course of the week. Right now biotechnological and medical stocks are rising because of the news, but be careful on getting into this stock, it might be too late. Usually stocks do not bounce a fourth time after three pullbacks. Even though, if we analyze the situation using Elliot waves, we could see a new uprising wave, but it is possible because of the volume showing on the candles that are slowing down the downtrend. And the last tool used to analyze this market was the Fibonacci retracement. If prices go below the 38.2 mark, it would be very unusual to see a new high. Have a great day!

Sorrento could surge 275% in 2021, Here is why...H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju rates SRNE a Buy along with a $30 price target, which implies a 275% upside from current levels. Factors behind the optimistic outlook: 1. Sorrento has a stake in two cell-based immunotherapy companies that could “drive value in Sorrento shares over the coming months.” 2. the analyst highlights Sorrento’s “burgeoning portfolio of assets spanning three distinct therapeutic areas (non-opioid pain management, oncology and COVID-19).”. 3. two rapid COVID 19 detection tests; COVI-STIX, for which the company filed for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S. in December, and COVI-TRACE, which Selvaraju claims could come in handy at any mass gathering event. “We believe that the incentive to facilitate the large-scale and indeed ubiquitous deployment of the COVI-TRACE test is extremely high and governments worldwide may seek to implement this in their respective regions,” the 5-star analyst opined. 4. Other Covid-19 candidates include COVIGUARD - a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody, COVI-AMG - an affinity-matured version of the COVIGUARD neutralizing antibody, a neutralizing antibody cocktail named COVI-SHIELD and COVIDTRAP, an ACE2 receptor decoy, intended to imitate the mammalian ACE2 receptor that acts as the primary portal for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to penetrate human cells. finance.yahoo.com

Oppenheimer Analyst Says buy, following of some positive dataOppenheimer 5-star Analyst Says BioNano Genomics is ready to Execute in 2021. the latest move was decidedly upbeat. In Wednesday’s session, the stock took off to the tune of 40% following the publication of some positive data. article which made side-by-side comparisons between Bionano’s optical genome mapping platform Saphyr and PacBio's HiFi chemistry revealed that Saphyr had the upper hand on several metrics. Across 32 different human genomes, PacBio technologies found only 72% of the large SVs (structural variants) that Bionano’s optical genome mapping (OGM) detected. Saphyr was also found to be better at locating indels in regions correlated to neurodevelopment. Additionally, Saphyr appears to be more cost effective. The platform’s estimated cost of $500 per genome coming in far below the $10,000-20,000 per genome when HiFi and SMRT sequencing are put into action. Oppenheimer’s Kevin DeGeeter believes the data should help Saphyr make further inroads in the “large SV research market.” The analyst views 2021 “largely as an execution year.” We expect the data to support broader adoption of Saphyr for de novo sequencing and research applications. the 5-star analyst said. “Furthermore, we expect 2021 to be an important year for adoption of Saphyr for clinical cytogenetics market based on a series of positive recent publications... Based on our current assessment of the competitive landscape, we do not believe long-read sequencing technologies can replicate Saphyr's performance and cost structure for digital cytogenetics testing.” Accordingly, DeGeeter reiterated an Outperform (i.e. Buy) on BNGO shares, along with a $1.5 price target. The implication for investors? Strong upside of 113% . Two other analysts have thrown the hat in with a BNGO review recently, one saying Buy and the other recommending a Hold -- all add up to a Moderate Buy consensus rating. Meanwhile, the average price target stands at $1.42, implying gains of 101% could be in the cards over the next 12 months. finance.yahoo.com

FDA identifies "Assay Kit" able to detect SARS-CoV-2 mutationsU.S. FDA Lists Applied DNA’s Linea™ COVID-19 Assay Kit as 1 of Only 2 EUA-Authorized Tests Able to Detect S-Gene Mutation Found in SARS-CoV-2 U.K. Variant (B.1.1.7) (FDA) published a safety communication (the "Communication") that identifies the Company’s Linea™ COVID-19 Assay Kit (the "Assay Kit") as one of only two tests marketed under the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that are potentially able to identify certain SARS-CoV-2 mutations, including a mutation found in the U.K. variant of SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.1.7). According to recent publications, the B.1.1.7 variant has been identified within the United States and may be associated with an increased risk of transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on analysis conducted by the Company and FDA, one of the two S-gene targets (S1 and S2) of the Assay Kit has significantly reduced sensitivity in the presence of certain S-gene mutations, including a mutation found in the B.1.1.7 variant. finance.yahoo.com

ObsEva, emerging company on verge of phase 3 completion Hi Ya'll, I hope you're having a Good Friday night. I came across this gem yesterday and I have to give it a shout out. ObsEva is a unique company, and has lots of potential. They have three drugs currently in pipelines. Its recently broken out and is channeling upward and moving very healthily. I have a price target of $10+. With a long term hold. Yselty- Phase 3 Ebopripant - Phase 2 Nolasiban -Phase 1 www.obseva.com Yselty is about to be finished testing. It looks positive and ready to be sold world wide. This product is very good for dealing with uterary fibroids which is very common and has no clear medication to use to solve it. If y'all can post your own understanding of the significance of these drugs I would appreciate it. I do not fully understand what these drugs do but they seem to be a big deal. Many analysts have set price targets ranging from $4.00-$28.00 a share. I will link this. www.tipranks.com Please give the company corporate presentation a look, and please tell me if I missed anything crucial, like the executives, etc.. www.obseva.com Thanks, Benjamin

High probability swing short set up on CRSPHere is my short case on CRSP: - at the top of trading channel started since Feb 2020 - over bought reading on RSI - both PPO and RSI shows very clear divergence high Starting building a position as it hits the top of the channel and scale in as it moves down. Impulsive break of the wedge should move it down to the support at $161. Reaction will be likely, consolidation or a minor bounce. Then, if it gets taken down, then moving down to the bottom of the channel which intersects with $145.80 horizontal support. If that breaks, it's going way lower since $110 and $131 area are pretty thin so the move will be probably pretty swift.
