Gapfill
Can CL Fill the Gap?CL Futures have opened the week with a 3% gap down around the $68 mark. $68 is also the high volume area. I'm looking for a pullback from the gap, to $69.38 level, which is low volume area.
This won't quite close the gap but it will be a percentage of it. Before retracing back to $68.00.
The Challenge Begins: Oversold AQXPThe £800 to £1 million challenge kicks off with the first trade being executed on Aquinox Pharmaceuticals. As we go along in the challenge you will notice that I am a Special Situations Equities trader. I utilise Exchange Traded Options to go Short and in the case of this trade, I have chosen this stock as it was savaged by the market in the last few weeks due to a failed 3rd stage test.
Interestingly though Seeking Alpha highlighted that:
"It is possible that a strategic option could be accomplished for Aquinox, this would come either as a merger with another pharmaceutical company or being bought out by one.
Aquinox is still developing rosiptor in a phase 2 proof of concept study for patients with chronic rostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome with results expected by July of 2019."
I love these sorts of plays. A stock with healthy cash reserves, a solid balance sheet, savaged by a market because of one poor news announcement. This tells me that the stock is considerably oversold and the bounce back could be swift. I am looking for the gap to be 30 - 40% closed, which equates to a price level above the $6.50 mark.

Sell your CMG, risk against higher high on weeklyCMG: we still in downtrend on weekly. 3 part bull div on daily is probably related to weekly trying to make a higher high (it hasnt yet). This could be a sell opportunity with stop if we break higher high. The target would be the gap fill and weekly volume profile node. Because its a short, on a daily-weekly timescale, and the r:r isnt great, this is not a perfect trade.
RENN Chart Discrepancy Large gap to fill to $6. Lots of people shorted based of this charts price action finviz.com but as I look further I find this is inaccurate. If this breaks $3.20 again it has no previous resistance till $6 and the RSI is very oversold sellers look to be exhausted.
RENN Descending Channel RNN is very oversold on the monthly and daily charts. It is trading in a decending channel and if price respects the channel it should test $6. It has a large gap to fill from $3.20 to $6. RENN is trading at 1/10 it recent $10billion valuation per Softbank. finance.yahoo.com

Quote: Widely-followed JP Morgan analyst says new market highs are coming soon. J.P. Morgan's Marko Kolanovic says the bearish narratives of inflation and trade wars will be proven wrong. "The flow aspect of the sell-off had a striking similarity with the August 2015 sell-off: realized volatility caused derisking from volatility targeting strategies and forced covering of short volatility positions," he wrote. "Unless there is a recession, all of these flows tend to reverse within 1-2 months." He is regarded as an expert in volatility and derivatives.
