UnitedHealth appears to be the best in class in a sector that has been somewhat overlooked in recent weeks. The trend is strong, the wave counts are clear, and the buy zone is tight because there is an impending breakout coming shortly. The zig-zag move upward indicates a sub-wave diagonal 1, which has historically given way to powerful future breakouts after consolidation.
With strong earnings to be expected before the open Monday, this play should yield nicely if calls for 7/24 are entered when the price enters the buy zone. On the conservative end, I would expect a move to all-time highs by end of week and then a continuation into next. More aggressive speculation suggests a move of about 50 points + by end of this week.
Either way, it's a solid move that you don't have to chase, which is becoming an increasingly difficult task as more of the market melts up.
Don't chase, never chase.
