GlaxoSmithKline - Top of the range, limited upside.SELL – GLAXOSMITHKLINE (GSK) GlaxoSmithKline PLC is a global healthcare company. The Company operates through two segments: Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines. The Company focuses on its research across six areas: Respiratory diseases, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/infectious diseases, Vaccines, Immuno-inflammation, Oncology and Rare diseases. Fundamentals GlaxoSmithKline has shifted strategy in recent months by increasing spend on science research and development by 12%, this has been seen by some as too little to late. AstraZeneca implemented a similar plan 5 years ago. Revenues were flat at GSK in the most recent market update. The timing of the additional investment is also under scrutiny as net debt increased from £23.9bn to £28.7bn. The share price feels a bit heavy here and it could be time to cash in. Best Broker Target Price: 1750p (Jefferies 23/04/2019) Worst Broker Target Price: 1575p (Deutsche Bank 08/07/2019) Technical Analysis The share price of GlaxoSmithKline has been trading in a huge range since mid-2015. The price has gyrated between 1227-1745 for many months and there appears to have been another failure at the upper end of the range. The week commencing 29th July 2019 ended with a inverted hammer candle, this is a bearish signal and suggests further downside could be seen in the short term. It is possible that we could see a continuation of the range. Recommendation: Sell between 1600-1750p Stop: 1780p Target: 1230p

ACASTI PHARMA INC - NASDAQ: $ACST Picking Its Head UpSince breaking-out last October'18, ACASTI PHARMA INC - NASDAQ:ACST has been trading in a side-ways grind with no real progress towards higher levels to speak of. However, we've been monitoring the action closely for some time now and it appears that ACST may just be starting to pick its head up as evidenced in the Daily chart above. With the stock trading above all of its important moving averages 20/50/200 DMA's, the technical picture remains favorable despite the lack of upside progress over the past 8-9 months. While ACST requires further work, both investors/traders may want to continue to monitor the action closely in the days/weeks ahead. In particular, should ACST be capable of clearing the $1.15 hurdle, such development may just ignite the stock and finally break free from its long slumber. Thus, both investors/traders may want to put ACST front-and-center on their radars.

APELLIS PHARMACEUTICALS INC - NASDAQ: $APLS Knocking On DoorAfter breaking-out in early Spring (March), APELLIS PHARMACEUTICALS INC - NASDAQ:APLS has been building-out its right side in a prolonged base and presently finds itself nearing a potential move that may just catapult the stock into higher ground as evidenced in the Daily chart above. While further work is required, APLS presently trades above all of its important moving averages 20/50/200 DMA's, which depicts a healthy technical posture. Additionally, when one extends the time-frame out to the Weekly chart, we can also observe that APLS is presently knocking on the door to a potential move out of its long-drawn base. Thus, both investors/traders may want to pay close attention to the action in the days/weeks ahead for further clues/evidence that APLS may just be on the verge of breaking free from its base. Should APLS be capable of going topside of the $22.25 figure at any time in the days ahead, such development, should it occur, would like trigger its next meaningful advance into higher ground with and initial $24-$26 objective and perhaps higher.

AMARIN CORP - NASDAQ: $AMRN Setting-UpAfter breaking to higher ground in 1Q19 and subsequently drifting back down to its original break-out level in the upper teen's, the shares of AMARIN CORP NASDAQ: AMRN are once again starting to show signs of potentially setting-up for another attempt at loftier levels as evidenced in the Daily chart above. While AMRN presently finds itself in drift mode working on its right-side, the stock continues to display favorable technical characteristics trading above all of its important moving averages (20/50/200 DMA's). Although further work is required, it appears that we may just witness a repeat of 1Q whereby buyers once again start to take control of the stock and should such scenario materialize, we suspect that it may have eyes for the $22 - $24 zone once again in the short-term. Thus, both investors/traders may want to continue to monitor the action closely in the days/weeks ahead for signs/clues that a move for greener pastures is underway.

Both investors/traders may want to continue to monitor the action closely in the days/weeks ahead as we would not be surprised if a move into the $5- $6 zone were to occur in the not too distant future.
