Merck MRK daily has 5 monster volume days where gap UP's then...What do you make of this pattern of volume in Merck MRK here on the daily chart?
Each time this has happened since January it has moved higher, but I think it is distribution by a massive seller, akin to the days of Jesse Livermore. It is so unusual that I'd have to say in my nearly 30 years of watching charts that I haven't seen a chart look like this before. If MRK can break under one of these support lines, then it could mark the end of this uptrend. Granted I don't see tremendous downside risk, perhaps 10% or so.
Strategy: Sell short going under 57 with a 59 stop. Target initially 54-53.
