$NVAX Quarter 3 (Q3) AnalysisNVAX has received solid support in the buy zone ($6.50-$7) throughout Q3. I think NVAX will have its breakout in Q4 and the key resistance targets are the $16.21 and $23.13 price levels. October will be an important month for NVAX with the European Union deciding whether to approve the NVAX COVID vaccine. Germany already has an interest in placing an order for 10.6 million vaccine doses in Q4 if NVAX does receive approval.
NVAX
NVAX - At a critical crossroad
3D chart showing incredible symmetry just below VMA.
Daily holding well above 60VMA
Another daily close above current level would confirm a breakout with possible targets at 11 and 17.
Bear case: for the volume seen last couple of days, price should have moved up, so makes me wary of fade below 8.
Disclosure: I am long via commons with 8 as the stop loss for now.
BNTX biotech / currency play LONGBNTX a Germany company in the biotechnology and vaccine sectors out of Europe
and Germany is looking good on the 2H chart here with a volume profile and an
intermediate term VWAP overlaid. Price bounced off the bottom of the high volume
area of the volume profile and looks to be ready for a reversion to the mean and even
a sling-short move. The target here is the double top M pattern of mid July at 114.
The VPT and MACD are confirmatory of a momentum flip making for a long trade
entry. I will review the options chain for a suitable options trade with a narrow bid/ask
spread, suitable volume and open interest. If I cannot find one I'll take a trade of
10-20 shares of stock with a stop-loss of 105 to back up this trade while NVAX and MRNA
are also making moves.
MRNA a medical Technology Stock LONG MRNA is a medical technology company. It is in the vaccine sector and competes ( well) with
NVAX and PFE among others. Earnings are upcoming on 8/3 in about a week.
On the 30 minute chart it appears to be in a descending wedge pattern which is typically
a bottoming with a breakout over and beyond the descending trendline. The relative
trend indicator shows the downtrend to be a slow grinding type trend with some minor
corrections along the way. As might be expected the RS lines are low in the indicator's
channel. I see this as a setup for a pre-earnings play with the expectation that MRNA
could breakout above the resistance trend line and move toward the horizontal resistance
of the triple top earlier in mid-July. I see medical stocks as a good alternative to technology
stocks that may be overextended and stressed by the current financial chaos pressuring
the markets. Another approach is a two call options targeting $ 125 expiring 8/11
and running the first until 100% profit or 8/2, the day before the expiration whichever
comes first and letting the other run through earnings into the middle of the following
week at 8/9. I always like to cut these short of expiration by a few days to diminish the
effects of time decay.
Can VBIV jump again like earlier this month?VBIV popped 50 % to begin July and then promptly lost 75% and has been low volume and
sideways since. I have not been able to discern any catalyst for that action. Earnings show
an ongoing cash burn. In the past couple of days, the Price Volume Trend indicator has
detected a small increase in the price volume product. The Relative Trend Index (RTI) indicator
has gone from negative to positive on July 18th while the dual time frame RSI indicator
showing 1 hour TF in blue and daily TF in black has shown bullish divergence with the lines
rising over the 50 level and the blue line above the black line. Price crossed a VWAP band line
on July 18th as well. The analysis supports a bullish bias and a set up for a long trade.
I will trade long and find an entry on a 15 - 30 minute chart looking for a pivot low
to take that position. I will target 2.25 and 3.00 for the time being.
Will Novavax NVAX go higher? SHORTNVAX popped today for a price jump of more than 20%. Canada agreed to pay out on a contract
for COVID vaccines it now does not want in the amount of $350M. This is hardly enough to
the fundamentals of the company overall. So the question arises, have traders and / or
investors overreacted to a one time bonus which is essentially revenue without overhead and
expense. My opinion is that this is an overreaction and that the price will drop after the
pop hits a high. Buying long right now is essentially the risk of buying a high that will not
go higher. On the Chris Moody dual RSI indicator, the longer one hour TM in black is over
75 while the shorter 5 minute TM in blue has peaked and dropped from 95 to 60. This is
in essence bearish divergence. The other indicator, the mass index, shows the value
arriving at the reversal zone where a drop to below 26.5 will be the trigger.
Overall, for both fundamental and technical reasons, I will enter a short trade on NVAX
expecting a correction / pullback from the pop the stock got after a one-time bonus of
a payout for not producing unneeded vaccines.
Can NVAX rise again?NVAX has had significant down trending over a wide range of time. On the 4H chart it seems to
be pivoting from a swing bottom 3-4 days ago. This is accompanied by a cross of the MACD
lines under the histogram on that indicator and a flip of volatility on the relative volatility
indicator. NVAX has been subject to significant short selling. Price is presently nearly
two standard deviations below the mean anchored VWAP set in mid May. Basically it is in
deep undervalued oversold territory and now with a rise. The volume profile has a point of
control level considerably above the mean VWAP. This is the level with the highest volume
of trades showing most trades occurred well above VWAP. This would be traders taking
profit and selling or alternatively short sellers opening a position but more likely a combination
of them. Price wants to ascend to at least VWAP if not the POC line. My analysis is that
any significant rise could begin a squeeze on short positions. Those closing with a buy to
cover trade would in effect be synergizing new buyers and add to the bullish momentum,
Accordingly, I will open a position early and see if I can get in ahead of a potential
short squeeze. While speculative, a narrow stop loss at 6.80 the second band line below
the mean VWAP will take a lot of risk off the trade and allow me to be patient comfortably
watching the price action.
VAXX Biotech Penny Stock Earnings Play VAXX is a speculative penny biotechnology NASDAQ stock with high volatility. On the 2H chart, it is currently trending up from a swing low
on April 25 with earnings to be reported Monday 5/8. May's relative volume compared with that of April is about 2-3X higher. To confirm
the bullish bias, VAXX is currently trading above its intermediate-term POC line on the volume profile. This confirms buyers as being in
control. Although this is speculative as are all biotechnology penny stocks, impending earnings as a catalyst has been considered.
Continued development in the vaccine subsector at large may suggest VAXX may have a favorable report to fuel further price action.
NVAX Biotechnology Watch Dead Cat Bounce LONGNVAX is fundamentally weak with a shallow pipeline and no products currenly marketed
to fund earnings and so research. On the 15 minute chart , NVAX is seen near to its
demand zone as shown by the Luxalgo indicator. In the meanwhile, the RSI indicator
shows considerable recent strength which is decreased today.
So the question is whether NVAX can dead cat bounce with a potential 20% uptrend
to reach the supply one or if it instead will break support and continue its descent
from a double top April 14-17. I will watch this for the price action to determine
whether to take a long trade or short sell this again. Other " vaccine stocks"
may be in action as well including VBIV, VCNX, VAXX and MRNA.
NVAX - Novavax Biotech Short or not?NVAX as seen on the weekly chart has been in price distress for a long time.
It has only one product on the market due to various issues with the FDA process.
It has a variety of products in development as linked below.
The question is whether it will run out of cash before a sustained revenue
stream develops. FDA approvals for the pipeline products could take years
( the days of emergency approvals for COVID and related are over)
It would seem that a rich uncle like Moderna ( MRNA) would codcme
around with a take-over offer that could send shares into a moonshot
to back when NVAX thrived before its 95% price decline in the past two
years. This seems to be a great short swing play until more products come
to market or a take-over is announced. This is affirmed by the MACD
histogram being persistently negative for the long-term.
NVAX Text book bearish Shark patternHi guys, NVAX showed up on my feed today as down 25% so I decided to take a look. What I see is a text book Bearish Shark attack on the stock. Looking at the embedded image in this chart you can compare the events as they occurred. The stock price has also gone back to beginning of the rally.
Please do your DD this is not a financial advice.
NVAX to at least 19If it can complete a structure I am looking for then it can potentially run to 30s best case, but more likely 19-22. Worst case it has downside risk to 4 if this structure falls apart.
Rejection from re-entering blue channel would imply the latter. Good news would be necessary for the best case.
The more likely case is just a technical gap fill - would happen fast and then either squeeze or shatter.

Is NVAX oversold following its earnings miss?A few days ago, NVAX gapped down 30 percent on a large earnings miss. This means that now NVAX is down over 87% from its ATH.
Why I think NVAX is a buy right now
The stock had a minor rally off a long term support level extending to 2020, and has higher lows than during the previous rally off this support level. It is trading at a heavily discounted price/sales of 2.55, far below its peak p/s at 249.16. There is a large upside, with the nearest strong resistance level roughly 50% above the current price.
I'm buying in at around 42.2 with a high risk reward ratio. I'll be targeting a roughly 20% return with a 5% stop.
