VRNA Three Falling Peaks (bearish)I found this pattern at tickeron website with the following data:
STATUS = Confirmed
CURRENT CONFIDENCE = 84%
TARGET (EXIT) PRICE = 3.84 USD
BREAKOUT (ENTRY) PRICE = 6.60 USD
DISTANCE TO TARGET PRICE = 39.95%
EMERGED ON = Aug 19, 12:00 PM (EDT)
CONFIRMED ON = Sep 03, 01:03 PM (EDT)
WITH CONFIDENCE LEVEL = 98%
The Three Falling Peaks pattern forms when three minor Highs (1, 3, 5) arrange along a downward-sloping trend line.
This pattern often emerges at the end of a rising trend, when a security slowly rolls over. It potentially indicates sellers moving in to replace buyers, which pushes the price lower.
Trade idea
If the price breaks out from the bottom pattern boundary, day traders and swing traders should trade with the DOWN trend. Consider selling the security short or buying a put option at the downward breakout price level. To identify an exit, compute the target price by subtracting the pattern’s height (maximum price minus minimum price within the pattern) from the breakout level the lowest low. When trading, wait for the confirmation move, which is when the price moves below the breakout level.
To limit potential loss when price suddenly goes in the wrong direction, consider placing a stop order to buy back a short position or sell a put option at or above the breakout price.
200 Million in Oversubscribed Private Placement and SubscriptionVerona Pharma Raises $200 Million in Oversubscribed Private Placement and Subscription
Funding to support Phase 3 ENHANCE clinical program in COPD
The Financing comprises a private placement of 39,090,009 of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing eight ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”), at a price of $4.50 per ADS, and 43,111,112 of the Company’s Ordinary Shares at the equivalent price per Ordinary Share, being £0.45 or $0.5625
Verona Pharma intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing primarily to fund its Phase 3 clinical program ENHANCE (Ensifentrine as a Novel inHAled Nebulized COPD thErapy) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and for general corporate purposes. The Phase 3 clinical trials are planned to start later in 2020.
With this financing we plan to initiate our Phase 3 ENHANCE clinical trials later this year and expect to support our programs into 2023.

The treatment is different to anything currently out on the market for COPD in that it has a dual-action.
Ensifentrine has not shown side effects such as nausea, vomiting and weight loss, that halted previous attempts to develop similar drugs.
The market liked this strategy, alongside a good data package from the phases I and II of clinical trials.
So highly regarded industry names such as RA Capital, one of America’s leading biotech investors, backed the phase III because they see potential for success.
Even if you see more positive sentiment towards healthcare, it still depends on the quality of the individual companies. In this case Verona had a large data set, a clear path forward agreed with the regulator and clear inflexion points.
