NASDAQ:CLVS is now back at its November 2020 low. The interesting part of this trend is that it also managed to test, hold, and bounce off of an almost identical level (strong support?). As of Friday afternoon shares retested an interim area of higher traffic that was support earlier in August and late July but now appears to have become a resistance level over the last 3 sessions at least. With the "short squeeze stocks" conversation building steam, it could be interesting for CLVS. Finviz shows the short float percentage at 27% right now.
"The biotech sector may also host some of the other heavily shorted stocks. Phase trial data, scientific reports, and the like all play a role in directional momentum. In this case, Clovis has felt some pressure over the last few quarters. Clinical data on its FAP-2286 platform, along with missed earings, haven’t helped the cause. Then you’ve got news of large, multi-million dollar fundraising initiatives adding more pressure as well. Needless to say, it has happened to hopefully advance the company’s pipeline...Clovis specializes in developing cancer treatments. Its lead candidate Rubraca is an oral treatment being developed in multiple types of tumors. These include ovarian and prostate cancers. It’s approved in the US for maintenance treatment in adults with recurrent epithelial, ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers...As far as CLVS being considered one of the “short squeeze stocks,” outlets show that the penny stock’s short-interest sits around 27%. Of course, it isn’t as high as some of the others on this list. However, anything over 20%, by most accounts, can be considered high."
