CVS Health Corporation stock sell opportunities CVS Health Corporation is american stock pharmacy operator offering nice sell opportunities at new supply imbalances created on both the weekly and the monthly timeframes with everything pointing down in a clear downtrend with new supply levels being created and demand levels being eliminated. Strong imbalances created on the way down.Two new supply levels have been created on the monthly and weekly charts. Monthly supply imbalances is located around $64 per share and weekly supply imbalance is around $65 per share. As supply and demand traders, we do not need to pay attention to the news, fundamentals or any earnings reports. Once a big timeframe imbalance has gained control, earnings do just the opposite and reacts strongly to those imbalances. Why is it that you see positive earnings and then the underlying stock drops like a rock, or a negative earnings announcement and the stock rallies like a rocket out of control? You are probably missing the fact that there are big imbalances gaining control.Unless you are doing very short term trading and scalping, you should not worry about fundamentals or earnings announcements. You can use these imbalances to plan your trades in lower timeframes. Trading is just waiting for the right trigger points and scenarios to present themselves, this game has got a name and it’s called the waiting game. We need to patiently wait for the correct scenarios and setups to happen and wait for price to pullback or dip into the price levels we want to trade, in our case supply and demand imbalances. There are several ways of buying stocks. When trading stocks, you can buy shares of the underlying stock or use options strategies to go long or short at these specific supply and demand levels, long calls or long puts or spreads. You can even buy a CFD (contracts for difference) if you are in a country where it’s allowed.If you still want to take earnings into account, it has not been good for CVS Health Corporation lately, read below some of this fundamental analysis...In a note to investors previewing the healthcare services sector's first quarter, analyst David MacDonald said he expects a challenging year for the Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based company, but pointed to "a unique collection of assets." He said he expected CVS's first-quarter results to reflect a handful of challenges, including reimbursement pressure, fewer generics, lower brand inflation."While 2019 is expected to be difficult," MacDonald wrote, "we remain positive on CVS' underlying value proposition tied to its integrated pharmacy/medical benefits, unique set of assets, meaningful patient touch points, and strong clinical programs, and view the company as well positioned to bend the cost curve over time.Can you really make sense out of those statements? I just can't. That's a very thick layer of complexity you would be adding to your trading plan. We have to make easier and faster decisions that don't lean on suppositions or forecasts based on X and Y fundamentals data. Everything is pointing down, so short bias.

BLRX - BioLine RX - Promising Biotech with Big upside - LongBLRX BL-8040 Overview BL-8040 is a novel, short peptide that functions as a high-affinity antagonist for CXCR4, which BioLineRx is developing for the treatment of solid tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, and stem-cell mobilization for bone-marrow transplantation. Solid Tumors: In January 2016, BioLineRx entered into a collaboration with MSD, known as Merck in the U.S. and Canada, in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Based on this collaboration, in September 2016 BioLineRx initiated a Phase 2a study, known as the COMBAT study, focusing on evaluating the safety and efficacy of BL-8040 in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), MSD’s anti-PD-1 therapy, in up to 30 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The study is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial designed to evaluate the clinical response, safety and tolerability of the combination of these therapies as well as multiple pharmacodynamic parameters, including the ability to improve infiltration of T cells into the tumor and their reactivity. Partial results will be presented at the 2018 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) in January 2018, with top-line results expected in the second half of 2018. September 2016, BioLineRx entered into a collaboration with Genentech , Inc., a member of the Roche Group , in the framework of which both companies would carry out Phase 1b/2 studies investigating BL-8040 in combination with atezolizumab (TECENTRIQ®), Genentech’s anti-PDL1 cancer immunotherapy, in various solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Genentech commenced a Phase 1b/2 study for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in July 2017, as well as a Phase 1b/2 study in gastric cancer in October 2017. Genentech expects to commence an additional Phase 1b/2 study in lung cancer by early 2018. In September 2017, BioLineRx initiated a Phase 1b/2 study under this collaboration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These studies will evaluate the clinical response, safety and tolerability of the combination of these therapies, as well as multiple pharmacodynamic parameters. n March 2015, BioLineRx reported successful top-line safety and efficacy results from a Phase 1 safety and efficacy trial for the use of BL-8040 as a novel stem-cell mobilization treatment for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. In March 2016, BioLineRx initiated a Phase 2 trial for BL-8040 for allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, conducted in collaboration with the Washington University School of Medicine, Division of Oncology and Hematology. Initial results of this study announced in March 2017 show that a single injection of BL-8040 mobilized sufficient amounts of cells required for transplantation at a level of efficacy similar to that achieved by using 4-6 injections of G-CSF, the current standard of care. Topline results of this study are now expected in mid-2018, as a result of certain delays in study recruitment in connection with the addition of two sites to the study and the regulatory filings associated therewith. In August 2017, following a successful meeting with the FDA , BioLineRx announced the filing of regulatory submissions required to commence a randomized, controlled Phase 3 registrational trial of BL-8040 for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs, for autologous transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma. The trial is expected to commence by the end of 2017. In November 2017, BioLineRx disclosed preclinical data supporting BL-8040 as robust mobilizer of hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs, associated with long-term engraftment. The data will be presented as an oral presentation at the 59th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Atlanta, GA, taking place in December 2017. Pre-Clinical Data In vitro and in vivo data show that BL-8040 binds to CXCR4 at the low nanomolar range (1-10nM) and occupies it for prolonged periods of time (>24h). Characterization of the CXCR4 antagonism action of BL-8040 in comparison to other CXCR4 antagonists revealed that, unlike other compounds from the same class, BL-8040 acts as an antagonist as well as an inverse agonist. This activity leads to decreased autonomous signaling of CXCR4 and suggests activity against constitutively active variants. BL-8040 inhibits the growth of various tumor types including multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, non-small cell lung carcinoma, neuroblastoma and melanoma. BL-8040 significantly and preferentially stimulated apoptotic cell death of malignant cells (multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemias). Significant synergistic and/or additive tumor cell killing activity has been observed in-vitro and in-vivo when tumor cells were treated with BL-8040 together with Rituximab, Bortezomib, Imatinib, Cytarbine, BCL-2 inhibitor ABT-199 and the FLT-3 inhibitor AC-220 (in NHL, MM, CML, AML, and AML-FLT3-ITD models, respectively). BL-8040 also mobilizes cancer cells as well as neutrophils and progenitor cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an Orphan Drug Designation to BL-8040 as a therapeutic for the treatment of AML as well as for stem cell mobilization BL-8040 is being developed by BioLineRx under a worldwide, exclusive license from Biokine Therapeutics. 1. Conclusion: The current data demonstrate that BL-8040 induces mobilization of AML blasts from the BM and has sustained receptor occupancy. In addition, a direct effect on AML blast viability has been observed in samples obtained during BL-8040 monotherapy. Importantly, the data suggest a differential effect of BL-8040 monotherapy on AML blasts vs. normal progenitors. BL-8040 was found to be safe and well tolerated at all doses tested to date. The updated results of the dose escalation phase of this ongoing study will be presented. Source: www.bloodjournal.org 2. The FDA approved the first immunotherapy drug recently, but the field dates back to 1891, when William Coley, a physician and cancer researcher, observed that some cancer patients infected by Streptococcus bacteria experienced a dramatic and spontaneous improvement. He began injecting the bacteria into his patients, with mixed results. The treatment was nearly abandoned amid skepticism from Coley’s peers and the advent of radiotherapy and improved surgical techniques. Today, however, new avenues of immunotherapy research are underway, and the field is considered among the most promising new approaches to cancer treatment, according to Jill O’Donnell-Tormey, CEO and director of scientific affairs at CRI. Source: www.jta.org 3. "activated with human interleukin 2, or activated against patients own tumor cells in the laboratory, when such are available – have been extremely successful in killing every last cancer cell in the patients. The theory is the same, in that the cells are trained to act as honing devices." “It’s fantastic because they all were expected to have been dead long ago,” Slavin told ISRAEL21c. “When the laboratory-treated and separated NK cells are infused into a patient, they go immediately to work because they were already trained in the laboratory to become professional killer cells capable of recognizing and destroying foreign cells.” "The new procedure has little or no side effects, is done during fifteen-minute outpatient intravenous infusion and has already showed promising results in high risk patients with metastatic or resistant cancer." "In order for the procedure to be government-approved, a much larger number of patients must successfully undergo treatment." "The reason I am optimistic is because we use mother nature’s tool – immune-system-cells to fight off disease. Normally too, it is the immune system that can recognize cancer cells as undesirable, and under normal circumstances, it will go on an attack until the single abnormal cell, which can grow to a bitter enemy, is gone. In patients with cancer, the patient’s own immune system failed to recognize the enemy and this is why we use the immune system cells from another individual that can easily recognize and destroy such tumor cells escaping the attention of patient’s immune system,” said Slavin." Summary Source: seekingalpha.com In two January ASCO presentations, BL-8040 showed robust infiltration of anti-tumor T-cells into liver metastases in pancreatic cancer and primes the tumor micro-environment to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy agents. New oncology asset AGI-134 induced complete tumor regression in 50% and 67% of two mice melanoma preclinical studies. The company plans to start Phase 1/2a clinical trials in 1H 2018. BiolineRx is funded to 2020 with $55M in cash, no debt. However cash balance might be higher since it's likely company was selling against a $30M ATM since November. The company has plans to deliver up to a dozen high-potential catalysts in 2018 following a busy January (4 conferences, and 4 clinical data). Institutional ownership has increased from 20% to almost 60% in a year. Five analysts have a consensus Buy rating with $3.5/share price target.

$BHC almost a buy: under the radarI am waiting for an entry long in $BHC but positive signs are already there especially RSI is giving an insight, MA 200 is almost close and it might be probable a new test. Monthly RSI is down and on a weekly basis price is approcing the pullback of the third bullish wave. For the time being, given the positive earnings release a bullish trend continuation is highly probable but I would not exclude somewhat time to complete the flag in order to reach the main trendline in red. If it is not like that a bullish signal will be given ....only.... when the price breaks the upper edge of the flag. For aggressive traders an entry long might be done even today with really tight SL.

Through our operating companies – Endo Pharmaceuticals, Par Pharmaceutical and Paladin Labs – Endo is dedicated to serving patients in need. Endo commenced operations in 1997 by acquiring certain pharmaceutical products, related rights and assets from The DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company. The Crash: Revenue Is In Free Fall Endo Pharmaceuticals: The Free Fall Continues Mar. 26, 2018 Summary Revenue from ENDP's core Generics business is in decline and other business segments appear in disarray. Its $8B debt load is at 7.5x run-rate EBITDA. If operating income continues to slide, it could hurt ENDP's ability to service its debt. ENDP ENDP trades at 9x EBITDA, but it is uncertain if potential legal exposures pursuant to opioids are priced in. Sell ENDP. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Shocking The Street. There is a war being fought over drug prices. Lawmakers have hit back at price gougers and opioid manufacturers, and Endo Pharmaceuticals (ENDP) is in the middle of it. A few months ago, I thought Endo was at an inflection point and there was a good probability it could turn things around. However, its slide continues. What: The bottom dropped out from under shares of Endo International plc (NASDAQ:ENDP), the specialty pharma famous for selling "uncrushable" opioids and agreeing to enormous legal settlements. After management revealed disturbing revisions of its 2016 full-year estimates, the stock plummeted 41.4% last month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Logical? Sold because they sell opiates? Are opiated still needed/critical to US Healthcare? NO! BIG Consolidation period: 4 Years (2014-2018) The First CYCLE WAVE Completed.

($MYL): Mylan weekly basis: bullish wedge in development$MYL after the earnings release has lost ground: investors actually pushed back the price yesterday with a massive bearish candle over -6%. Although the picture for generics look less positive than expected in the years to come, we should consider that demand for such goods is always "on" and today's prices (for these companies) are keeping such trend embodied. On a weekly basis, MYL is developing an interesting bullish wedge by using the hystorical downtred of 2015 as lower edge. The day before yesterday we reached out the price needed for drawing the upper edge as you can see in the chart. Interesting opportunity would be buy and sell within the edge right now but keep in mind that the wedge is almost complete so new buy opportunities will be there once the price will get out of it. A confirmation of such trend has been seen the day before yesterday: massive panic sell followed by massive buy: in a day we have touched the two edges with a distance of 9% roughly in between. This is important also to fix SL and TP if you want to enter right now.
