OPHT - Strong buy on intriguing newsI recommend to buy a dip or breakup here. I like OPHT for its wild swings on news some might see this as risk but staying in the loop should see us fine and its shares are up considerably on its latest update being that it is set to report registration-ready late-stage trial results for its vision-restoring drug Fovista, which coupled with other drugs already on the market would make a great improvement and it appears that the outcome of those trials will be very good.
I wont go in to great detail as with any investment i recommend to do your own research and analysis before taking any trade but i will update with trial results and fda approvals .
Also to note many analysts are expecting prices to soar back into $90+ region.
Good luck.
Looking for USDCHF + EURUSD Correlation Breakdown TradeUSDCHF has essentially been trading exactly off Euro news for a bit now and I think it wants to keep this trend going, regardless of strength/weakness of Swiss data coming out this week.
This presents an opportunity.
Look for Swiss data to move USDCHF out of correlation, play the retrace game back to where it "should" be given the price of EURUSD.
This is a pretty dicey trade, be careful and keep an eye on the price action in the ladders and get out if things seem to be breaking down for real. This correlation will exist until it doesn't so don't get caught in the shift.
