MRKCL trade ideas
MRK - Showing Strong Relative Strength1) Formed a 19-year Cup and 2-year Handle - A bullish Continuation Pattern
2) Price shows massive tightening on the daily with relatively muted selling volume and larger buying volume spikes
3) Spectacular earnings acceleration and strong relative strength compared to the overall broad market
4) The index itself (SPY, QQQ, DIA, etc...) is short term oversold and is probably due for a bounce soon. This should give the stock momentum to go higher.
5) Am long MRK at the breakout pivot @ $89 and SL @ $87.85. Given weak market conditions lately, will get out at a multiple or two of my stop.
6) NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, happy trading!
MRK: swing trade!Above 74.80 supports a bullish trend direction. Breaking below this level will negate the bullish stance.
Upside price momentum supports the bullish trend direction.
RSI leaves enough room for further upside price potential.
Trend strength indicates a weak indication that a trend might be developing.
MACD bullish crossover (lower panel) supports a change in trend direction.
A break above its 200-day will act as further support to the trade idea.
Merck gaining momentum. MRKImmediate targets 85, 86. Invalidation at 76.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe
