MYL a buy opportunityAfter the breach of the multiyears downtrend prices have jumped till 47.68 dollars. We have seen a retracement according to the uptrend in progress. The price level around 39-40 is a stong support where a long can be setup. SL can be put a bit lower just underneath the MA 200 at 38 dollars. MA 200 is still under MA 50 and MACD is crossing over for a bullish setup. On top of that, price has reacted promptly after the NASDAQ sell off the day before yesterday.
Shaping the Future - an analysis on GWPHGood Afternoon and welcome to an analysis on GWPH.
Looking at the chart we can see that GWPH broke through the support line on 2/22 and is now testing it as the current Major Resistance line. We have fallen to the Major Support line on 3/2 and bounced back up to touch the resistance line again. We almost looked as though we were going to break into the resistance line however all indicators show we are heading back down, at least for the short time.
Looking at the DMI the +DM and the -DM touched briefly on 3/9 but then like a magnet split away from each other. The ADX is still above a 25 (barely), but nevertheless it is still above the signal line showing we are in a strong trend, and that current trend has been bearish. Plus the RSI hit my projected downward line and turned to head back south helping to confirm we indeed could drop further. The MACD is relatively flat and has turned up but it is still below out signal line as well.
From the looks of the chart at the moment we could definitely head back down to touch the support line again. A good entry point would be between $109 and $111 with placing a stop loss just below the support line to minimize loss.
Since Sep. of 2016 we have been in a trading range from roughly $95 - $140. Currently we are on the lower end of that spectrum. My personal opinion, with more doors opening for the legalization of marijuana in different states in the US and in other countries, I believe this GWPH is a good long hold. They have an A+ team, and I believe they will shape the future of cannabis-based therapeutics.
Happy Trading :)
Much Love

Anthera Pharmaceutical ... -80%This is biotech "at its best".
An expert review board gave this drug an approval of passing, with a shelf offering of about $100 millions.
And now ... Sollpura has just failed to achieve the desired results in a Phase 3 clinical study ...
Luckily, I closed one trade with a win for this stock.
Conclusion: Stay away from small biotech firms!
SRNE on the way UP, bullish to $8.40?SRNE looks bullish.
So far this has been climbing up my original projections, however, exceeding my highest highs as this stock continues to display an extension of wave 3.
IF in fact this current cycle of waves is only a WAVE 3 (per Elliot Wave analysis and rules), then this may reach and exceed the $21.00 mark!
So here are the targets if this count is valid:
Target 1 = $8.40
Target 2 = $13.87
Target 3 = $ 21.00 - $23.50
MGC PHARMA FPO Possible crash & support linesLooking at past trends, we can see that a major fall in price a few months ago was a result of it breaking a mini support line. It has one now, does this hold or does something happen that can potentially see prices crash?
I'm only very new to this, this probably has no correlation... amy corrections/advice would be appreciated.

INSY Target $23 FDA Cannabidiol Fast trackFDA Grants INSYS Therapeutics ‘Fast Track’ Designation for Cannabidiol (CBD) Oral Solution as
INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSY), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to the company’s cannabidiol (CBD) oral solution for the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare and complex genetic disorder characterized by insatiable appetite in children that often leads to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
“FDA’s Fast Track designation will enable an expedited regulatory review process for our proprietary formulation of CBD in the treatment of pediatric patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, a debilitating condition which currently does not have any approved products available,” said Steve Sherman, senior vice president of regulatory affairs for INSYS Therapeutics. “We plan to start the clinical development program for this promising therapy in late first quarter of 2018.”
The most common known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity in children, Prader-Willi syndrome has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 15,000, according to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association, occurring in males and females equally and in all races.
“We are very encouraged by the FDA’s decision to put CBD for Prader-Willi on the Fast Track and believe it is good news for these young patients, their families and clinicians,” said Saeed Motahari, president and chief executive officer of INSYS Therapeutics. “This special regulatory designation represents a significant milestone in the company’s R&D program, which is focused on developing and delivering safe, effective and novel treatment options using cannabinoids and novel drug delivery technology for unmet medical needs.”

Mylan Wedge BreakoutNASDAQ:MYL is breaking out of a wedge that it has been consolidating in for nearly four years. This wedge appears to be a retest of the breakout from resistance that occurred in 2013, which was followed by a large rally during the "biotech bubble". I expect the wedge breakout to take us back to the all-time highs, at a minimum, and potentially to $100/share.
Disclosure: I am long NASDAQ:MYL
VRX toward the first TPVRX yesterday has reached the first TP around 24.3/24.5 according to what happened some years ago. I expect some resistence here. if such hurdle will be step over, I expect another resistence at 26/27. This because some investors will take profit from the rally began in November: From 11 dollars to 19 (the neckline) 8 dollars of difference. 8+19= 27. Third TP is around 32/33 dollars. In the meantime Valeant will present at JP Morgan healthcare conference on the 10 jan, whilst fresch data on bussiness activity will be rolled out on 22 of febraury.
Finding the upcoming support zone and the right time to sell/buyAcadia Pharmaceuticals has shown a downward swing during the past 2 business days or so. Before that it was on a very big run, which on my opinion was due to the high demand and the low buy/sell price. It will soon find support around the 32.67 up to the 38 zone (see the purple channel) based on the past downswing which i just stated. In the very near future it will also go on an run as big as the last one or maybe a little slower, but it will fall out again.
In my opinion it would be better to buy soon, sell some when it breaks the channel and then sell more when it reaches the climax of the channel.
Teva strong resistence at 19.33, yet not a buyDespite the recent company's efforts to reduce its debit, from a technical point of view, I would be neutral with Teva until we will see a cross-over between slow 200d and fast 50d moving average on a daily chart pattern. For those who are aggressives MACD is still positive but keep in mind the resistence at 19.33 first and 20 after. Exhaustion gap betweeen 16 and 18 has been filled. Personally I see such movement as a prize for what the new CEO has done to reduce the impact of debit in short and mid term. Still 2018 will be critical to conferm that what has been undertaken is going toward in the right direction.
possible new uptrend line for ValeantYesterday I bet on a new trend line but I had needed a confirmation about the minimum which was given today, this is why I decided to post my idea. If confirmed during next sessions the new uptrend will accelerate.
Valeant: what's nextApologies for the chart but I don't have the premium version. I tried to figure out the next levels:
Here the summary:
1. 25.80
2. 33.20
3. 38.50
VRX imminent attack to 18 dollarsVRX after the correction largly expected, yesterday as demostrated a strong bullish counterattack closing the session slightly less than the short entry recovering mostly 100%. The pattern therefore shows clearly the uptrend line in place. Investors are considering a Q4 better than Q3 looking for new confirmation about debit reduction, so I expect price will move up, breaking down the barrier set at 18 dollars. In case of confirmation this would be a strong signal as Valeant is gaining back attention and potential turn around. Still there is a long way to go through, but what is important right now to highlight is that the trend has been confirmed.
Careful with VRX possible retracementWe reached 17.70 dollars and than a fast pullback as it was for the day before. Important resistence near 18 with possible retracement on the ascendent trendline first and the second dotted trendline after. Personally I sold it at 17 in order to see what it will look like next weeks. RSI overbought, MACD still positive.
Is VRX recharging for a new rally?We have seen in the last few days a dynamic resistance that characterized the pull back of the price from a threshold range between 16.95-16.75. Today the lowest minimum price touched 16.00 dollars (around -2% compare to opening). Violent and prompt reaction with high volatility intraday had set the price at 16.45 +0.3%. 16$ was the point where the ascendant trend line supported the price. Will we see an attack to 17 dollars next days?
DMPI, DelMAR Pharma Break Out and Short Squeeze DMPI has broken resistance on positive interim results of its clinical cancer drug, VAL-083. Analyst have a price target of $12. Bullish price action on trend analysis, chart patterns, and shorts covering.
Teva Pharmaceutical industries. up or down? This is my first wave chart, so be gentle. :)
i have 2 scenario. One is that wave 5 have ended and we are ready to a correctional wave of A,B,C.
The other is that they will present bad revenue. And the price will continue the down trend, and stop at the support line at 6,49
where the 5th wave could end and start a correction of A,B,C.
Fundamental:
Teva have a great product portfolio, but have lost 64.46% decline year to date. and a 68.83% decline from 30/10/2016 to 30/10/2017
The decline have something to do with there stock pilling on debt that run along the loss in product sales.
The U.S. generics industry is facing significant competitive and pricing pressure, which have been affecting the company’s generic revenues. An increase in FDA generic drug approvals and ongoing customer consolidation are resulting in additional competitive pressure in the industry. earlier this month, in a major blow to Teva, Mylan MYL launched its generic version of the 40 mg formulation, much earlier than expected. Mylan also launched a second generic version of Copaxone 20 mg formulation (once-daily).
Though these generic launches will not hurt Teva’s third-quarter sales and profits, Teva estimates that it will have a negative impact of at least 25 cents per share on fourth-quarter earnings.
Teva Pharmaceutical industries have a P/E Ratio (TTM)=-2,22
And a EPS(TTM)=-6,11
This means that the company is losing money.
besides that, investors now pay 2,22 Dollars less pr earned dollar
They still have a 1,20(8,07%) Forward Dividend and Yield
this means that the company is expecting a low grow rate because of the high yield
(if the Yield is low, a company is expecting high growth expectations and are more likely to give investors reward through out a rise in the stock price)
The Beta is low at 0,72. a Beta below 1 is a less volatile stock.
My target will be at 36.49$
where my stops loss will be at 6,18$
general 1y target estimate from other investors is at 20,02$
