NVAX pushed to bottom of its channel LONGNVAX powered off its earnings and a news catalyst and is overdue now for a correction. While in an ascending channel NVAX is now at the bottom of the channel perhaps due to the general market moves this week. From here it can move up in the channel or breakdown and fall into a significant correction from the uptrend since May 10th. I am bullish on NVAX and have a prior perspective of an insider. I have realized profit six figures from my call options for January 2025 and have a large number remaining in the trade. At this juncture, I will watch for NVAX to move up in the channel and take a trade of shares and some call options for 15.00 expiring in June 2025 to take advantage of long term capital gains on the options. The FDA is currently reviewing some COVID vaccine data which is particularly relevant to NVAX. The volume profile has a shelf at 14.25 which will be my stop loss on the shares. The options will have a 20% stop loss. Considering the level from which NVAX has fallen over a period of some period there is great potential in my opinion.

MRNA- a vaccine biotechnology stock LONGMRNA focuses on vaccine research and development and we are in the flu season an COVID is lurking in the shadows and trying to make a comback. It had an excellent earnings report and forward guidance. On the 60 minute chart, price has bounced up from a test of the anchored VWAP and is at the level of the first upper VWAP while in side the high volume area of the volume profile. The RSI is in the 60s. Bullish momentum is obvious. I will add to my ongoing position here and again the next time I see a dip on the 15-30-minute chart. I look forward to take a piece out of the position after the next earnings report in about 75 days. I have an alert for relative volume when the running mean is exceeded on the 30 minute chart which notify me to take a look at the chart. This is illustrated on this longer time frame chart about the days around earnings but occurs from time to time from other events. As an aside, if NVAX gets weak and develops fundamental challenges. MRNA is a potential rich uncle and could be the leading candidate to do a takeover, friendly or otherwise.

NVAX Novavax Vaccine approved! Buy Opportunity!If you haven`t bought NVAX during the pandemic: Then you need to know that NVAX Novavax's recent achievements in gaining full marketing authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid, in the UK and Singapore, alongside its availability in major U.S. pharmacies, have ignited optimism among investors. These milestones signify a bright future for NVAT stock. The international authorization of Nuvaxovid opens doors to vast markets, enhancing revenue potential and global recognition for Novavax. the EU delayed the approval, but will update its decision by the end of this month. Nuvaxovid's availability at CVS and Rite Aid in the U.S. immediately after regulatory clearance demonstrates its acceptance and accessibility. Nuvaxovid is a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, different from the mRNA vaccines of PFE and MRNA. My price target is $10 by the end of this month. Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

Covid & Vaccine Related Novavax Long Play in the cardsHi guys! So lately theres been some buzz on a particular variant, increased cases of hospitalizations and government backing. At risk population that require vaccinations/ boosters will always exist. Therefore, i believe this fact along with various technical analysis findings can make companies such as Biontech, Moderna and even not as famous Novavax potential plays. (Look below for my analysis on Biontech) Jumping right in. This is a technical analysis on Novavax (NVAX) on the 3 day timeframe. Zoomed in we can see that we have a GOLDEN CROSS. Between the: 21 EMA 50 SMA Being on the 3 Day its ALOT more Powerful than having it on 1 Day and it may influence the larger timeframes. Which is what we want. We have also maintained SUPPORT on both Moving Average. (21 EMA and 50 SMA) This is a great sign, if we continue like how we are with our current candle during the close that would further confirm Support and a bullish case in my opinion. This 3 day candle will close on the 8th of September. Pay attention to how big the body of candle gets on the close. With this i would like Volume to start to pick up especially if and when we get to the "flat trendline". Another important development to notice is the Ascending Triangle. This can be giving us evidence we are in the process of BOTTOMING out. Watch for the breakout ABOVE the Flatline. This with confirmation of Support on flatline would be a Major Area to take Long Positions. I would ADVISE AGAINST buying inside the triangle. But Belowthe Ascending Support Line would be an area for Stop losses. Watch also how the MACD acts. If we continue in Green and the Blue/Orange lines make it ABOVE 0 level. We will be off to the races, as it would be the necessary catalyst that provides momentum to have the triangle play out. __________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read my analysis.

BionTech Fastly Approaching Major Resistance, Will we Break?Hi Guys, this is a Technical Analysis on BionTech (BNTX) on the 3 Day Timeframe. We are currently approaching a MAJOR RESISTANCE Trendline. This Trend started from the TOP in 08/2021. Everytime we've interacted with it in the past, we've been REJECTED. Will we get Rejected again? Well, we've had 3 touch points already. In trendline theory, it states that atleast 3 touches are required before a trendline is weak enough to break through. So, it is possible that a break can occur. With risk of new variants, hospitalizations of COVID increasing and a push of government to get people to get boosters, this could be a chance for Trend change to UPSIDE for BNTX. BUT just looking at it in a pure TA lens, i wouldn't just start buying now. I would wait for a break above the Trendline and CONFIRMATION above it. Also with the break, note that VOLUME should be spiking and increasing. We should not see a DECLINE in Volume as we break through. That can be signs of a FAKEOUT. We are also reaching some Resistance from a Support line turned Resistance line. Now lets look at our indicators for more evidence. RSI -> We've had the Lowest RSI reading on May 09,2023 EVER in BNTX history. This could be a catalyst for more buying pressure and a trend change. We also broke above RSI Red Resistance line. MACD-> A momentum indicator, has crossed BULLISH, below the 0 level. If we continue this bullish momentum and the Blue/Orange lines move above the 0 level, this can be inject the well needed momentum for BNTX to increase in price. STOCH RSI -> Is also in a BUllish cross and it shows that theres plenty of room for momentum to continue. __________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read my analysis. Hope it helped keep you informed. Please do support my ideas by boosting, following me and commenting. Thanks again. Stay tuned for more updates on BNTX in the near future. If you have any questions, do reach out. Thank you again. DISCLAIMER: This is not financial advice, i am not a financial advisor.

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.

EBS a biotech company focused on vaccinesEBS is a small biotechnology company whose forte is the clean processing and manufacturing facility that the FDA requires for certain bioprocessing to be certified for delivery of products to end-user patients. It is not a research facility like the one in China that accidentally released COVID and the global impact will be likely felt for another decade. EBS does depend on federal support and income from contract work from vaccine manufacturers. There is reasonable expectation or persistent and consistent revenues ongoing without fail unless the FDA decertified the facilities. On the chart, EBS is in a flat bottom triangle on its base. It is presently rising out of the triangle and towards the mean anchored VWAP It is just above The POC line which functions as dynamic support in the demand zone. I see a long trade with the stop loss below the POC line, the first target the blue line representing one standard deviation above the mean VWAP at about 9.4 while the second target is the redline two standard deviations above the mean VWAP at about 10.05 while the final target contemplates that EBS will challenge the high in May of 10.75.

MRNA ? Buy Weakness MRNA descended this past winter off a head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart just under the demand zone as shown by the LuxAlgo indicator. Price is now in a downtrend heading into earnings tomorrow. MRNA needs to show something good otherwise it will break through the demand zone and keep going down. This is a risky earnings play betting that something will show up on the report to buoy up the company and its stock. I will risk 0.01% of the trading account on a call option with DTE 5/19/23 looking for a minor surge and so a good quick profit. ( see also the link below)

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.

Will the Moderna share price ever recover?The Moderna share price has fallen from its pandemic peak amid uncertain demand for its lifesaving mRNA vaccine. But will it ever recover? Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) shares traded for more than $450 last summer. But today the stock is trading at $136 – less than a third of its pandemic peak. The vaccine-maker stock gained massively during the pandemic. Its mRNA vaccine was favoured by governments around the world, including in the US and EU. In fact, its shot was famously touted as the Rolls-Royce of vaccines, although it was also linked with very rare cases of myocarditis that perhaps caused it to be less popular than the Pfizer vaccine by those being vaccinated. Prior to the pandemic, the Massachusetts-based firm was trading for less than $15 a share. But what comes next for Moderna? Will it return to its 2021-highs, or will it continue to fall? Why is the share price falling? Moderna only has one commercial product and that’s its lifesaving Covid-19 vaccine, Spikevax. The shot received emergency approval around the world in 2020 and 2021 and is considered one of the most effective vaccines in the fight against Covid-19. Like other vaccines, Spikevax was developed and approved on an accelerated schedule. While it is normal for vaccine development to take a decade from discovery to rollout, Spikevax was created and rolled out within a year. These exceptional circumstances propelled Moderna from a company that most people had never heard of, to a household name worldwide. Its shot was one of the first four vaccines approved for use against the virus in the West. The other vaccines included the AstraZeneca shot that was sold for cost-price by the Anglo-Swedish drugs company. However, the Moderna vaccine was sold, and continues to be, for around $20-25 a dose. In turn, this saw Moderna generate $18,4bn in 2021. The figure represents an enormous 2191% jump from 2020. In 2020, the vaccine maker saw revenues of $803m. This figure also represented a huge 1234% increase from the $60m generated in 2019. As such, we can see how the pandemic generated revenue growth in a way which is not likely to be repeated. Moderna has strong forecasts for 2022, but the future is uncertain after that. The firm, which currently has a market cap of $55bn, says it is on track to deliver $21bn in revenue in 2022. However, forecasts from then on are mixed. While the general forecast is steeply downwards. Some analysts have predicted that Moderna’s vaccine sales will dip as low as $2bn in 2024. So, investors are clearly concerned about revenue generation in years to come. And I think as we look around us, we can see that demand for Covid-19 vaccines is dropping. Not only among governments, but among normal citizens. Only elderly members of the British public are being offered fourth jabs right now and I’m not sure whether younger members of the population will be given free Covid-19 shots again. What could send the share price upwards? The less virulent nature of the Omicron strain has made vaccinations less vital. While Omicron is considerably more contagious than previous variants, it causes less severe symptoms. One thing that would send the Moderna share price soaring is the emergence of a more virulent strain, which would incentivise more vaccination. However, viruses don’t tend to evolve to become more deadly. The most successful viruses are the ones that spread, not the ones that kill their hosts. The second thing that could reverse the negative trend in the share price is the development or launch of new products with commercial potential. mRNA technology has been lauded as having the capacity to be more easily manufactured to take on diseases such as cancer. However, the majority of Moderna’s vaccines in development concern Covid-19 and other respiratory viruses. Moderna has two combined respiratory-virus vaccine candidates in its pipeline. One targets influenza and Covid-19. The other targets flu, Covid-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Both candidates are in preclinical development. This sort of product could enhance the firm’s revenue generation capability, but it seems unlikely that such vaccines would be rolled out to whole populations. Instead, it would be targeted at the most vulnerable, probably just in time for the winter months. However, competitor Novavax is slightly closer to commercialising a similar product. Moderna also has a Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine in phase three trials. CMV is related to the herpes virus that causes cold sores and chickenpox. However, once you have the virus, you retain it for life. It can cause serious health problems in some babies who get the virus before birth and in adults with weakened immune systems. The biotech firm is also developing a Zika vaccine and a personalized cancer vaccine (PCV). The PCV is in phase two trials and such vaccines, if successful, are likely to be very lucrative. The disease is one of the biggest killers worldwide and treatment can be very costly. Moderna is also working on a HIV vaccine. However, many of Moderna’s vaccines are still some distance from commercialisation. Reaching commercialisation can take a decade or longer. Valuation Because of the uncertain future, Moderna looks very cheap by some metrics. The biotech firm has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just four, based on its profits over the past 12 months. It also has a price-to-sales ratio of just 2.4. Moderna’s valuation is quite unique in many respects. Growth stocks tend to be expensive as they’re partially valued on future revenue potential rather than their current earnings. However, Moderna growth appears to have been short-lived, and it seems unlikely that such revenue growth can be repeated in the future. With peak demand for Covid-19 vaccines likely past, an increase in the share price, at least in the short term, seems unlikely. However, I don’t see the stock’s share price falling much further. One forecast suggests that Moderna’s profits could fall to $2bn in 2024. If the market cap remained the same as it is today, $2bn in profit would give Moderna a P/E ratio of around 27 in 2024. That’s still expensive by some metrics, but biotech firms tend to trade at a premium given their valuation reflects future earnings potential. And Moderna clearly has some potential beyond its current Covid jab.

Chaos Reigns Hah... These trend lines are the accumulation of attempts to figure this thing out over the last year. Ridiculous price action but learned to leverage the volatility and play the extremes. Currently at a relative downside extreme. Also signs of Wyckoff Accumulation similar to the build up when it popped Jan 2021. Time series 1-month point forecast target is 163, NVAX price action is cyclical so these forecasts are more difficult than when there is merely trend/seasonality. Technical levels I’m looking for to the upside are 111-120, 146, 180. Catalysts are here so it’s now or never I guess and calls are relatively cheap. Not financial advice.

MicroStrategy buys the dip by purchasing 660 Bitcoin for $25MMicroStrategy bought significantly less BTC in January than in previous months, according to official data. Major Bitcoin (BTC) investor ​​MicroStrategy has announced another major BTC purchase during a market dip to collect a total of 125,051 BTC as of Monday. According to an official form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed on Tuesday, ​​MicroStrategy purchased 660 BTC between December 30, 2021, and January 31, 2022, for “approximately $25 million” in cash. The average BTC price of the purchase amounted to $37,865 per BTC, including fees and expenses, the report notes. As of Jan. 31, MicroStrategy held about $3.78 billion worth of BTC at the average purchase price of approximately $30,200 per BTC, inclusive of fees and expenses. The latest report comes shortly after the SEC reportedly rejected MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin accounting practices, causing MicroStrategy shares to plummet in mid-January. The SEC specifically objected to MicroStrategy reporting data related to BTC purchases based on non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The authority argued that MicroStrategy used non-GAAP methods of calculating figures for its BTC buys excluding the “impact of share-based compensation expense and impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets.” The latest Bitcoin buy is apparently not that big compared to the most recent BTC purchases by MicroStrategy. In December 2021, MicroStrategy announced two major BTC purchases, buying 1,434 BTC from Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 at the average price of $57,477 per BTC and then purchasing 1,914 BTC from Dec. 9 to Dec. 29 at the average price of $49,229 per BTC. Previously, the company had bought as much as 7,002 BTC from Oct. 1 to Nov. 29 at the average price of $59,187 per BTC. Related: MicroStrategy CEO won’t sell $5B BTC stash despite crypto winter Major Bitcoin investors including the government of El Salvador continued to investi in BTC amid a market downturn in January. On Jan. 21, El Salvador president Nayib Bukele announced that the Salvadoran state purchased 410 BTC for $15 million, placing the average price at approximately $36,585 per BTC.
