Is This Volume Any Indicator Of A New Trend?MRKR has been a sleeper all year. No major high-volume days and nothing really to write home about. But it managed to pull off a bigger move earlier on. Now that the gap has filled from the drop a few weeks ago & they secured funds, what will this mean for the company's next steps? "An onslaught of Form 4s showed hand fulls of investors and insiders participating in the recent offering. The company raised the money to fund its Phase 2 trial of MT-401 in acute myeloid leukemia. Marker also plans to develop MultiTAA therapies into clinical trials in other indications and conduct manufacturing activities, among other things. In addition to this, analysts have also weighed in recently. Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage on Marker this month. The firm started MRKR at Overweight and gave a price target of $6."

Back In The Channel AgainMNKD is back in that Fib channel between the .5 and .382 levels. This was a previous channel earlier in the year. Now that the financing deal is done, will it finally see a prolonged uptrend without much interruption? " However, with fresh capital in hand, the company aims at advancing its current pipeline. This includes a Phase 3 clinical trial of its Afrezza inhaled insulin product in pediatric subjects. MannKind also explained that it wants to further the development of product candidates in its pipeline. The company may also use a portion of the proceeds for acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies. Even with the pullback, analysts seem to remain bullish on the company. SVB Leerink most recently adjusted its price target on the stock. It had previously issued a $3 target but upped it to $5. The firm also carries an Outperform rating on the stock. " Quote Source: Best Penny Stocks On Robinhood To Watch This Week If You Like Biotech

SELB Back In High TrafficSELB is back in the upper area of its high-traffic support/resistance from several times prior. Most recently, it saw this act as support in February. But it wasn't able to sustain the level. Anyway, it's back at this but in this case, the level has acted as a potential resistance (for now). It's gonna be interesting to see what happens next. Selecta seems to have benefited from a bullish outlook discussed by the company in its last corporate update. “We are very pleased by the continued progress of our gene therapy program. In collaboration with AskBio, our lead program in methylmalonic acidemia, is on track to enter the clinic in the second quarter of this year, and we expect initial data by the end of the year,” said Carsten Brunn, Ph.D., president, and chief executive officer of Selecta. “A key objective of 2021 will be to generate human data in our gene therapy programs and to continue to build our extensive pipeline in gene therapies, enzyme therapies–with an expected IND filing by the end of the year in IgA nephropathy–and autoimmune diseases, as we work to deliver on our mission to leverage our pioneering ImmTOR platform to improve the lives of patients and their families.” Quote Source: Best Penny Stocks On Robinhood To Watch This Week If You Like Biotech

Is OPK Fibbin'?OPK back at the .236 fib line, which has been a clear area of support/resistance. The question is, will the speculation on its testing company end up giving the boost needed to push back above the $5 mark or is this truly a "fib" and OPK falls back down heading into the rest of March? "Ongoing pressure from an activist investor to offload its BioReference unit has also become a source of speculation. This stemmed from recent M&A action within the diagnostics space earlier this month. Needless to say, the recent action in the stock has continued supporting some analysts’ bullish stances on the company. Most recently, Barrington Research boosted its price target to $8 from $7 and maintained its Outperform rating." Quote Source: Best Penny Stocks On Robinhood To Watch This Week If You Like Biotech

$RUBY Doubles on Progress in Early-Stage Cancer-Drug TrialRubius Therapeutics Reports Initial Clinical Data from Ongoing Phase 1/2 Trial of RTX-240 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors, Demonstrating Single-Agent Activity. RTX-240 Generated Partial Responses in Metastatic Anal Cancer and Metastatic Uveal Melanoma Patients; No DLTs or Related Grade 3/4 Adverse Events RTX-240 Promoted Trafficking of NK and T Cells into Tumor Microenvironment Initial Clinical Data Provide Evidence of Broad Potential of RED PLATFORM® Across Pipeline of Cancer and Autoimmune Programs The initial data "demonstrate that RTX-240 has the potential to generate single-agent activity in patients with solid tumors, including a cold tumor such as metastatic uveal melanoma, where other treatments have failed to induce responses in patients," Christina Coughlin, an oncologist and immunologist who is chief medical officer at Rubius Therapeutics, said in a statement. “The encouraging safety results, including a single event of Grade 1 liver toxicity, and preliminary efficacy data for RTX-240 to date give us the potential to realize the power of immune agonists for the treatment of cancer," Coughlin added. The ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of RTX-240 in patients with advanced solid tumors resulted in a 54% confirmed partial response rate in reducing the target lesions in a patient with metastatic anal cancer. The adverse effects of the treatment included fatigue, chills, nausea, decreased appetite and arthralgia, which is pain in a joint. Rubius is now planning a new Phase 1 study for the second half of 2021 to evaluate the combination of RTX-240 and another therapy. It's also planning a Phase 2 expansion cohort for first-quarter 2022, according to its statement. www.thestreet.com finance.yahoo.com

BIOL Back In The Channel AgainIt's almost exhausting watching BIOL do this every time...jump, fall, jump, fall, all right back to this channel. There's an interim gap to fill from a few weeks back but still many other levels to consider IF it can break back above and out of this channel. I think volume will be an indicator to watch in consideration of whether or not this can happen. Because dental procedures have resumed to most of their pre-covid levels, many investors are bullish on the future of Biolase. While it is affected by the pandemic, the company is working to build new strategies. This goes hand in hand with its need to continue innovating and receiving new patents. With all of this in mind, is BIOL a penny stock to watch? Quote Source: 5 Biotech Penny Stocks On Robinhood To Watch In March 2021

SYN Still Trying To Fill The GapThere's still a pretty big gap to fill from a few years ago but again, with a lot of biotech gaining recently, small caps could be back on the menu. After Maxim Group upgraded SYN from a hold to a buy, shares of the biotech company dramatically increased. In addition to this, Maxim Group analysts gave a price target for SYN of $2.50. This represents a 10% or so gain from where it was before the rating. At the end of Friday, March 12th, SYN stock had shot up by over 29% to $0.92...CEO Steven Shallcross stated that “we are more encouraged than ever by this outlook for the business as we have made important progress during the fourth quarter advancing and demonstrating the significant value of our clinical development programs.

Back At Historical S/R Level On ISRISR has been something of a sight in this market. Now, after pulling in and settling down a bit, it's back at the historic support/resistance level. With momentum acting as a tailwind in biotech stocks, overall, I'll be interested to see if it can get back above this level in more of a "calm fashion" haha. While fewer surgeries occurred last year due to covid, IsoRay has managed to work around this, building its brachytherapy use cases along the way. CEO Lori Woods stated that “we are very pleased that we have been able to continue to make progress this quarter despite the ongoing challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic has presented. Amongst the highlights has been our continued success in expanding adoption of Celsium-131 in our core prostate market.” Quote Source: 5 Biotech Penny Stocks On Robinhood To Watch In March 2021

Strong pan-coronavirus effectiveness of clinical drug candidatesPan-coronavirus Clinical Drug Candidates for the Treatment of COVID-19 Are Highly Effective in Pre-clinical Cell Culture Studies Performed in Preparation of FDA Pre-IND Application $NNVC reported yesterday on the strong pan-coronavirus effectiveness of its two COVID-19 clinical drug candidates for which the Company is preparing a pre-IND application. NV-CoV-2 is the Company's broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus clinical lead drug candidate for the treatment of COVID-19 patients based on its nanoviricides® platform. $NNVC is also developing NV-CoV-2-R, a drug treatment that combines the power of both NV-CoV-2 and remdesivir in a single drug that encapsulates and protects remdesivir inside NV-CoV-2. Both NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R are expected to work against most, if not all , coronaviruses and their variants, based on the Company's findings on their pre-clinical effectiveness discussed below. NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R were found to be highly effective in comparison to remdesivir against two distinctly different coronaviruses in our new cell culture studies leading towards a pre-IND application and thereafter an IND submission for these COVID-19 drug candidates. The Company intends to report on the results of these studies in its pre-IND application to the US FDA to obtain guidance regarding human clinical trials for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Additionally, the Company is actively seeking opportunities to engage appropriate sites for human clinical trials. Further, the Company is engaged in the preparation of clinical trial protocols and other activities that would be necessary for submitting an IND application to the US FDA. The Company has developed NV-CoV-2 based on its platform nanoviricides® technology. This approach enables rapid development of new drugs against a number of different viruses. finance.yahoo.com
