$MREO Next Target PTs 2.50-4.50 and higher^ Key Words: I'm kicking us off with my pick, which is Mereo Biopharma. Now the stock was actually popping today on an article in "The Times" that says AstraZeneca is putting in a bid for the company. As you can see there, the stock up 73% there. And AstraZeneca also getting a slight boost as well.
Now Mereo is a London-based US-listed company that specializes in therapies tied to cancer and orphan diseases. Now these are the diseases designated by the FDA as deadly, but so rare that they struggle commercially, so they receive special financial benefits for developing safe and effective drugs. Mereo's stock, though, down more than 70% over the past year.

SESEN Bio - A possible Jump & Run?The market is bleeding, but may be you know this quote:
"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria" - Sir John Templeton
So the actual question is, where are we right now? I guess "Euphoria" is actually over and we are on our steady way down to realistic valuations.
Let's talk facts: As of March 31, 2022, $SESN had $169.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding debt and fewer than 0.2 million outstanding warrants.
What is in their pipeline?
They are currently developing Vicineum, a locally administered fusion protein, for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
What happened to the stock price?
A few months ago the FDA had determined that it cannot approve the BLA for Vicineum in its present form and has provided recommendations specific to additional clinical/statistical data and analyses in addition to Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) issues pertaining to a recent pre-approval inspection and product quality. The stock price dropped dramatically and now trades around 0.50$.
What is BLA?
BLA, Biologics License Application, is a request for permission to introduce, or deliver for introduction, a biologic product into interstate commerce (21 CFR 601.2).
What opportunities lie ahead?
Let me tell you, trading bio-tech stocks requires strong guts and control of emotions - I speak from experience. Currently the company is considering two things:
1. Reverse Split, so that they will remain listed on the NASDAQ
2. Selling the company to maximize shareholder value
The development of Vicineum will continue and they seek another meeting with the FDA soon to discuss further steps for BLA approval with an additional Phase 3 testing.
The 2nd option sounds like a good strategy, the balance sheet looks healthy, the product itself seems promising, so that I had to invest a little bit (10% of my account size). As soon as the company had communicated that they consider selling the company, the stock jumped a nice 30% - luckily I had bought it a few days earlier.
Now we can see a little bit of pullback, which seems more like accumulation, rather than distribution. The volume on the declining candles is lower and the strong buy volume after the news actually speaks a different story. You can check my chart for levels (white are monthly and purple are the weekly levels of support and resistance).
Let's see what will happen, but the most important thing is patience, as well as proper risk management.
Stay healthy!

$NLSP Target PTs 2.39-3 and higherNLS Pharmaceutics Announces Patent Issuance in the United States for its Mazindol Extended-Release Formulation
Key patent now granted in major markets including the U.S., Europe, Canada & South Korea
Patent claims cover use of the Company's lead product candidate, Quilience® (mazindol ER) in both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) & narcolepsy
STANS, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2022 / NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. (NASDAQ:NLSP)(NASDAQ:NLSPW) ("NLS" or the "Company"), a Swiss clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapies for patients with rare and complex central nervous system disorders, announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted the Company U.S. Patent No. 11207271, entitled A MAZINDOL IR/SR MULTILAYER TABLET AND ITS USE FOR THE TREATMENT OF ATTENTION DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD). The patent covers oral formulations containing immediate-release and sustained-release layers of mazindol and their use in treating attention deficit disorders (ADD or ADHD), related deficit of alertness or decline of vigilance, or excessive daytime sleepiness including narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia.
"Our intellectual property estate has been significantly strengthened since our initial public offering in February 2021, putting NLS in a solid position as we anticipate reporting Phase 2a results for Quilience® (mazindol ER) to treat narcolepsy in the first quarter of 2022," said Alex Zwyer, Chief Executive Officer of NLS. "We now have issued patents in major markets including the U.S., Europe, Canada, and South Korea covering our extended-release formulation of mazindol. These recently issued patents augment the Orphan Drug Designations that have been granted for Quilience® in both the U.S. and Europe. Most patients with narcolepsy remain unsatisfied with current treatment options, and we believe that Quilience® has potential to fill a major need in the market given mazindol's history of safety and evidence of effectiveness in treating the symptoms of narcolepsy. We remain focused on bringing this treatment option to patients suffering from narcolepsy and potentially other sleep-wake disorders as soon as possible."
About NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd.
NLS Pharmaceutics is a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company led by an experienced management team with a track record of developing and repurposing product candidates to treat rare and complex central nervous system disorders. The Company's lead product candidate, Quilience® is a proprietary extended-release formulation of mazindol (mazindol ER) and is being developed for the treatment of narcolepsy. Mazindol is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor and partial orexin-2 receptor agonist, which was used for many years to treat patients diagnosed with narcolepsy in compassionate use programs. NLS has initiated a phase 2 program in the U.S. evaluating Quilience® in adult subjects suffering from narcolepsy. Previously, NLS successfully completed a phase 2 study in the U.S. evaluating Nolazol® (mazindol controlled-release) in adult subjects suffering from ADHD. The study met all primary and secondary endpoints and Nolazol® was well-tolerated. Quilience® has received Orphan Drug Designations both in the U.S. and in Europe for the treatment of narcolepsy. Up to one-third of narcoleptic patients are also diagnosed with ADHD.

$GNPX Target PTs 7 and higherGenprex Receives U.S. FDA Fast Track Designation for REQORSA™️ Immunogene Therapy in Combination With Keytruda®️ for the Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Second FDA Fast Track Designation Further Validates the Potential of REQORSA
AUSTIN, Texas, January 03, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genprex, Inc. ("Genprex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GNPX), a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation (FTD) for the Company’s lead drug candidate, REQORSA™ Immunogene Therapy, in combination with Merck & Co’s Keytruda® in patients with histologically-confirmed unresectable stage III or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease progressed after treatment with Keytruda. In the first quarter of 2022, Genprex expects to initiate its Acclaim-2 clinical trial, which is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating REQORSA in combination with Keytruda, for this patient population. The Company previously received its first FTD for REQORSA in combination with AstraZeneca PLC’s Tagrisso® in patients with histologically confirmed unresectable stage III or IV NSCLC, with EGFR mutations that progressed after treatment with Tagrisso.
"We are thrilled to receive a second Fast Track Designation from the FDA for REQORSA in patients with late-stage NSCLC, this time in combination with the checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda," said Rodney Varner, President and Chief Executive Officer at Genprex. "This Fast Track Designation is an important step in our efforts to accelerate clinical development of REQORSA and another validation of the potential of REQORSA to treat the unmet medical need of patients with late-stage NSCLC. With a strong balance sheet of $42 million in cash as of the end of the third quarter of 2021 and expert clinical trial management led by Chief Medical Officer and industry veteran Mark Berger, MD who joined Genprex in September 2021, we are well positioned to advance our Acclaim-1 and Acclaim-2 clinical trials in a meaningful way in 2022."
Dr. Berger added, "Fast Track Designation provides a company opportunities to have more frequent engagement with the FDA to discuss the drug candidate’s development plan and also provides potential eligibility for priority review, which has a six-month review timeline. FDA may award Fast Track Designation if it determines that non-clinical or clinical data demonstrate the potential for a drug to address unmet medical need for a serious or life-threatening disease or condition. This provision is intended to facilitate development and expedite review of such drugs so that a product, if approved, can reach the market expeditiously. Advanced NSCLC represents a large patient population that is in desperate need of new therapies."
Previously presented preclinical data have shown synergy between REQORSA and Keytruda. Those data showed that REQORSA combined with Keytruda was more effective than Keytruda alone in increasing the survival of mice with a humanized immune system that had metastatic lung cancers. Those studies in mice with a humanized immune system also documented multiple effects of REQORSA on the immune system, such as an increase in Natural Killer cells and a decrease in PD-L1 expression on tumor cells, that is believed likely to contribute to the synergy seen with Keytruda.
Fast Track Designation recipients may also be eligible for accelerated approval or rolling review of the recipient’s Biologics License Application (BLA) if other qualifying criteria are met. In addition, Fast Track product candidates could be eligible for priority review if supported by clinical data at the time of BLA submission.
The initial intended disease indication for development of REQORSA is NSCLC. According to the World Health Organization, in 2020 lung cancer was the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, causing more deaths than colorectal, breast, liver or stomach cancers. There were more than 2 million new lung cancer cases and 1.8 million deaths from lung cancer worldwide. In the United States, according to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that in 2021, there will be more than 235,000 new cases of lung cancer and more than 131,000 deaths from lung cancer. The American Society of Clinical Oncology reports that NSCLC represents 84 percent of all lung cancers and the five-year survival rate for patients with NSCLC with distant spread is 7 percent.

About Genprex, Inc.
Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex’s technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex’s oncology program utilizes its unique, proprietary, non-viral ONCOPREX® Nanoparticle Delivery System, which the Company believes is the first systemic gene therapy delivery platform used for cancer in humans. ONCOPREX encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is then administered intravenously, where it is then taken up by tumor cells that express proteins that are deficient. The Company’s lead product candidate, REQORSA™ (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). REQORSA has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. REQORSA has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track Designation for REQORSA for NSCLC in combination therapy with AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso® (osimertinib) for patients with EFGR mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with Tagrisso.

SPRB - 8M FLOAT - WORTH X2-X3 CURRENT PRICEAll,
I am already scaled in big here. I am without a doubt this stock will at least double.
***KEEP IN MIND THIS IS AN 8M FLOAT COMPANY
1. Do your own DD you will notice all that has really happened is low float short sellers have just railed the price down
2. This companies price targets are insane not to mention 8M float will make this EXPLODE on any good news. The company is already undervalued + postiive news of any kind just blows this baby to the moon. Except here the moon is probably where it SHOULD be.
3. Financially speaking easily in great position no chance of offerings
4. Promising company overall
5. This downtrend looks awful, but is purely short sellers and look at the length of the time on market.
This looks like it may happen soon, but either way I will happily add large position scales into this stock and simply wait. I really think at some point even a year from now we see 20+. The question is do you want to chase stocks daily, weekly or scale in. Either way set alers and volume alerts.
$XAIR Symmetrical Triangle BreakBeyond Air has continued a strong uptrend since June. Recently its bin tapering and has shown a symmetrical triangle formation. A Brake out to the upside is likely to continue the uptrend. Watch for a move past the top of the triangle at 11.88 level for conformation and more possible upside. No resistance till 12.50 a high not seen since March 4, 2020
Will It VRPX Right By This Resistance Or Fail Again?VRPX is another one of the former penny stock darlings of the year. Big breakout mid August put it on everyone's radars now it's about sustaining this higher price level and subsequent valuation. At today's price of around $20.25, the market cap is 3.5x the size it was just a few weeks ago. Thanks to FDA related headlines, VRPX stock skyrocketed. "The FDA has indicated that Virpax may pursue an NDA drug approval with the Office of Non-Prescription Drugs. The Company has engaged Syneos Health to assist with the optimal clinical trial design based on an efficient timeline."
Now that it seems to have found a home north of $15, levels are coming to light. Right now it looks like the 50 fib line is that pivot. Following the big breakout it was somewhat of a "no man's land support" and now it has acted as resistance, rejecting VRPX each time it's been tested. However, the last few days have seen an uptick in daily volumes so that could be something to keep a closer eye on right now.
"Regarding the latter, VRPX stock is the latest penny stock darling to experience an explosive move. Monday afternoon, shares were trading below $4.50 & as of mid-morning on Tuesday, the former penny stock broke above $10 a share. Now, if you’re wondering what the VRPX stock forecast is moving forward, your guess is as good as mine. In parabolic instances like this, fundamentals can begin playing a role to justify a stock’s price being so highly valued... VPRX isn’t the only trending penny stock today. Retail traders are posting images of Robinhood charts that include other big movers..."

VERTEX CAN GO UP Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an American biopharmaceutical company based in Boston, Massachusetts. It was one of the first biotech firms to use an explicit strategy of rational drug design rather than combinatorial chemistry. Excellent bullish divergence on the monthly. Great time for a long trade on this asset that could attempt a retarget in the $ 240 zone.
FULC SendFULC news catalyst popped the stock into the previous gap and right back to testing this clear resistance level that was previous support. After plotting the fib retracement is looks like the 50 Fib line is an area that might need to set up as the higher support level if there's any hope of FULC sustaining higher levels. We'll have to see what happens next.
"The company focuses on developing treatments for rare genetic diseases. including sickle cell disease. This week, the company announced key data that has helped drive momentum in the market and push shares of FULC stock higher. Fulcrum announced positive interim results from its ongoing single- and multiple ascending dose (SAD and MAD) Phase 1 trial with FTX-6058. This treatment targets patients with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) with the potential to treat hemoglobinopathies."

SAVA Stuck At 382It's interesting to see what happens after plotting out fib lines sometimes. SAVA , for instance...using the earlier lows and the recent high as anchors we can see that the 382 fib line has been a very clear area of both support and resistance almost to the exact mark. Sure 236 played this role before the Alzheimer's data but now SAVA has reset back to some familiar territory and, so far, is mimicking its trend before the big breakout, which is 382 fib resistance being an issue. Multiple times in the last few days, this area was tested and SAVA was rejected (including 8/3). BUT with the market seemingly building optimism, it could once again be an important area on the chart to be aware of.
"The biotech industry is well known for volatility. When you’re talking about developing life-changing treatments, there’s a lot to account for. The phase trial process brings the potential for big progress but can also put the brakes on otherwise strong rallies in the market. We recently saw this with companies like Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ: SAVA) and Annovis Bio (NYSE: ANVS ), which were also former penny stocks. Both companies developing Alzheimer’s treatments revealed data that didn’t impress the market at all. In response, shares of both stocks plummeted."

BMY Flirting With Historic TerritoryWhen I say "historic" for BMY I'm not talking ATH but the stock's encroaching on an area that has been tested 3 times being rejected each time. This is the 236 fib area using 2016's high as the top anchor. It's been 5 years since BMY traded well above this area. But with the way attention is being placed on immunotherapy stocks, it could be something to keep in mind for BMY longs.
" Both Bristol-Myers and Novartis recently gave updates on new FDA updates. Novartis’ NIS793 gained FDA Orphan Drug Designation, while Bristol-Myers’ recent earnings update revealed strong sales figures from its lead cancer drug, Opdivo...B7H3 protein is a checkpoint molecule, which has very recently become a target for cancer treatment. While things are still in the very early stages for B7 molecules, as a whole, early research is also finding new potential for targeted cancer treatments. For instance, Merck’s (NYSE: MRK ) blockbuster drug, Keytruda, and Bristol-Myers’ YERVOY treatments target the same checkpoint inhibitors that are part of the B7 family (PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4/CD80). They’ve also both demonstrated a clear survival benefit when it comes to immune-oncology treatment ."

NTEC Trying ....AGAINNTEC trying to break and hold above this 786 fib level ....AGAIN. It was a previous area of support leading up to the last sell-off but since breaking below it has remained a sticky level of resistance.
"Aside from the cannabis directive, the company has also built a stronger pipeline for things like cancer. In fact, late last month, a patent abstract from Decoy surfaced. It showed that this was for Decoy’s “Compositions and methods for treatment of cancer using bacteria’ and that the patent was granted. With the latest proposed merger seemingly coming to fruition, this additional piece could give the company more exposure to the mounting cancer trend in the market recently. Shares have catapulted to highs of $17.80 during the week."

PAVM Wayback MachineHad to go way back to find some levels to plot against and 2017 looks like it's the mark. The interesting part is that this 236 area has been an area of traffic in the past. Considering that PAVM failed to break and hold (for now) once again might reinforce that idea. Prior to reaching those highs, the stock tested this area a few more times but failed at every pass besides 1.
"The progress from Lucid is one aspect that traders are watching with PAVmed. However, an earlier development this summer may have also acted as a catalyst for the record-setting move in 2021. Once again, this involves Lucid’s EsoGuard test. It received a European CE mark certification. This now allows the test to be marketed in numerous European countries...While PAVmed isn’t developing a cancer treatment, the EsoGuard platform is the first step to potential prevention. According to the company, it is the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of widespread screening to prevent esophageal cancer deaths through early detection of esophageal precancer and cancer in at-risk chronic heartburn patients."

ABIO Caught Between Two FibsOn this episode of "Between Two Fibs" ABIO once again tested the 618 line plotted after using the recent low as the anchor. This has been a failure point 2 other times in the last few weeks but with a little more afternoon momentum, it will be interesting to see if it can break and hold above it. Other than that, the 786 fib appeared to have acted as lower support a few times prior to gapping down recently. With today's big swing, that could be another key level for ABIO to hold at or above.

NURO Fibbing Right Now Or New Highs Next?I took the NURO chart out to 2019, which was the last time it traded around these levels. After plotting these fibs, wouldn't you know, the 236 and 382 lined up almost EXACTLY with today's action. The 382 could be an important level to watch as this was a prior area of "high traffic" and a support/resistance pivot in 2019. With volume surging, 382 fib line could be a key level t pay attention to.
**The big spike in trading action on July 20th stemmed from FDA news. NeuroMetrix announced that it received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for treating fibromyalgia. Specifically, its Quell device garnered the interest of the stock market today. The device is non-invasive and is a nerve stimulator covered by 18 U.S. utility patents already. This Breakthrough Device Program aims to help patients gain quicker access to technologies like Quell that could provide more effective treatments.
“We are moving forward with a regulatory filing that could position us to launch Quell for this indication in the second half of next year.”

New Highs & Levels For CYTKCYTK put in a fresh high today which was rejected HARD almost immediately after. This came after the company announced positive topline results from 2 cohorts in its REDWOOD-HCM Phase 2 clinical trial of CK-3773274 (CK-274). This is the company’s investigational treatment targeting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
“The combined data from Cohorts 1 and 2 in REDWOOD-HCM met our high expectations for this trial of CK-274 in patients with obstructive HCM, given the observed onset of response to initiation of treatment, magnitude and breadth of response, reversibility of LVEF decreases, and favorable tolerability profile,” said Fady I. Malik, M.D., Ph.D., Cytokinetics’ Executive Vice President of Research & Development.
Looks like the 236 fib line - using lows from the major gap down - has been a pivot over the last year or so. CYTK tested that level on July 19th and bounced during the morning session. The big question is can it maintain this as a new support level or is it looking at another breakdown following this huge move?
"Thanks to these results, Cytokinetics expressed its anticipation of what its Phase 3 trial could bring to the table. Let’s put this into perspective. CYTK wasn’t any of the penny stocks that broke out last year. However, its valuation was a fraction of what it is today. Last October, CYTK stock was trading around $15 a share; more than 50% less than its value on July 19th. With that, attention is certainly on smaller biotech stocks right now."

OCGN back to basicsOCGN kind of treading water for now. I think what we need to see are some rock-solid results from COVAXIN, which this rolling submission could be helpful in identifying. The Phase 3 results were interesting. With more warnings coming out about the current SOC EAU vaccines, another option might not be "too late" at this point. But a lot will clearly come down to the results. For now, speculation is probably playing a bigger role as we don't know much more beyond what Ocugen announced this week. Regardless, looking at chart levels, a quick Fib retracement shows a few "pain points" on the chart, namely the 618 fib that has been a frequent resistance level over the last few months.
"On July 2nd, Ocugen reported new evidence from Bharat Biotech. The company shared positive results of its Phase 3 study of COVAXIN™; a whole virion inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate. According to the company, it demonstrated a vaccine efficacy in mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 disease of 77.8% with efficacy against severe COVID-19 disease alone of 93.4%.
“With the Delta variant becoming a dominant strain of COVID-19 in the United States, we believe that the Phase 3 efficacy results reported by Bharat Biotech demonstrate that COVAXIN™ has the potential to become an important option to expand protection against this emerging variant. Combining these data with the only Delta-variant results from a controlled Phase 3 clinical trial, evidence continues to support a favorable benefit-risk profile for COVAXIN™.” - Dr. Bruce Forrest, Acting Chief Medical Officer and a member of the vaccine scientific advisory board of Ocugen.
