PACB trade ideas
Overhyped or overlooked? Technical Analysis. PACB is on a tear right now with new of an acquisition deal by their competitor Illumina for 1.2 billion dollars. According to Forbes, this is the largest deal Illumina has ever made in more than 20 years. According to other reports the deal won't be finalized till mid-2019 though, so today's price increase seems to a result of that new breaking yesterday after hours. The other news surrounding PACB however was less bullish. Their recent earnings report had investors at a loss.
Metric Q3 2018 Q3 2017 Change (YOY)
Sales $18.2 million $23.5 million (22.9%)
Net income (loss) from continuing operations ($25 million) ($22 million)
Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) ($0.19) ($0.19)
From a technical standpoint, I'd wait to go long here. The run up stopped right at the edge of the ichimoku cloud which indicates to me that the there was a decent amount of speculation involved in this price run up. Curious what others are thinking.
Share you thoughts.
Thanks.

$PACB hourly chartRecovery uptrend looks poised to continue following orderly pullback to support line.
breakout 9.23 and SMA200 almost at the same level is going to be a critical level of breaking point, next level pf resistence is 10 and 10.71...the others moving averages are right now at that last price
$PACB buy buy buy Pullback to rising 50-hourly-sma in a new recovery uptrend, possible increase in momentum.
M patternLooks like we have one of those 'M's popping up. Only reason I'm posting this is because a retracement at 61.8% (golden ratio or something) lines up with my other longer term bull prediction and it helps explain the recent shoot downward. Ms usually have an explosive retracement from what I've seen.
Buying as soon as retracement starts to happen.
$PACB - Spiking with volume but under trend lineWith a 1.84 Risk/Reward ration , I'm confident with this chart staying under the resistance trend line.
If if goes above resistance and closes above it; it will be time to move on.
