Vertex’s Stock Heads for All-Time HighVertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. shares were on track for an all-time high Wednesday after the company released new data from a trial of its investigational non-opioid pain medicine.
The stock jumped more than 10% Wednesday morning, on pace for its largest percentage gain in more than three years, and was set to cross the $100 billion market-capitalization threshold for the first time.
The company’s experimental pain medicine VX-548 produced statistically significant, clinically meaningfully reductions in pain intensity in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve damage that can affect people with diabetes, Vertex said in a release.
The pain control seen with the drug appears comparable to the “gold standard” pain medicine pregabalin, which is marketed by Viatris Inc. under the brand name Lyrica, Evercore ISI analyst Liisa Bayko wrote in a report Wednesday. Evercore analysts raised their price target on Vertex shares to $405, from $389 previously.
The new data on the pain medicine “looks at least as good as or better than investor expectations,” Jefferies analysts said in a note Wednesday.
Vertex is working to quickly advance the treatment to Phase 3 studies in diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Vertex’s chief medical officer, Dr. Carmen Bozic, said in a statement. Phase 3 results from a trial of the drug in acute pain are expected in the first quarter of next year.
Vertex shares have gained 37% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 is up 21%.
NASDAQ:VRTX is trading above the 50, 100 & 200-day Moving Averages indicating the trend might continue.
Vertex - rising wedge patternWhat we can see in the chart is a rising wedge pattern. We expect the price to break down from the rising wedge formation.
It may take a little bit more time since the price is still consolidating inside the wedge.
You should enter short position when/if the price breaks down of the wedge with a volume surge.
Do not forget to put a stop loss once you enter the trade.
Stop loss should be placed above the wedge.

Close look on multi timeframe analysis could see price move go even a bit higher but this isn't completely backed with the evident structures provided yet.

VERTEXCHARTS | USDCAD TRADE IDEAUSDCAD is consolidating above the support level in a growing channel.
The level is strong, maybe only a false breakout, after capturing liquidity, the price can be returned back beyond the level for further growth.
The pair is bound to grow from the support level.
