Likely candidate 64 with gaps to fill and trends to bounceGiven the current circumstances, the past 12 months have been exciting, disenfranchising, and failed to meet expectations. It could be dilution, too many acquisitions, an overhaul, or setting expectations for a few years. This stock will take off; the question is how far it can go once it does. For now, a conservative mid-60s may bring us some joy.
CNC trade ideas
Long on CNC. Bullish Wedge. Entering demand zone.Based of technical analysis CNC should reverse and potentially hit or break above resistance. Strong support level of $61. Bullish wedge pattern on weekly timeframe. I see upside for this company due to Trumps presidency and the improvement on healthcare in the US.
Centene Corp | CNC | Long at $65As a managed health care company, Centene Corp NYSE:CNC doesn't get much attention. However, it is an undervalued growth stock. It's been a workhorse historically for slow and steady financial returns with a 3%+ dividend. The biggest dips along my selected moving average have been into the blue lines - which it recently tested. While the stock may close the gap near $62 is the near future, it's a personal buy at $65.
Target 1 = $78.00
Target 2 = $95.00

Centene is BullishCentene posts earnings results pre-market tomorrow
20DMA about to cross the 50DMA. Very strong bullish daily candle today closing near the highs. It's formed a clear cup & handle. Implied price target included.
Watching closely this week.
*No Position but this will have an effect on other healthcare stocks all of which had a strong day today. Humana earnings on Wednesday and Cigna next week
Pull Back FishingCNC is below the neckline of what appears to be a Head and Shoulders pattern.
The 100% level of the downside from the H&S is marked and price is close to the .618 of the possible downside.
Calculated using the distance from the head to the neckline and projected down from the neckline.
Price does not always fall 100% and price can fall further than 100%. A lot depends on when the healthcare sector moves again.
Price is consolidating in a small consolidation zone which could be a bear flag. Flags are neutral until broken.
No recommendation/possible crab but price went a bit below the 1.618 of the 1st leg
CNC At Important LevelCentene NYSE:CNC fired off a signal on this morning's open at a "50 in 50" level. The most important level is the COVID Low to All Time High 50% Retracement which for the last few weeks price has been testing. This is an important multi-year level that the stock price needs to hold to continue to retest the all time high.
To reduce the initial risk on this trade I will drill down to the swing trading timeframe price action. Here we see the last few weeks with an overshoot of the support, price recapture the major 50% level, and now do a short term 50% Retracement around that level. Holding within this range sets up for a long term bullish move off the Supports.
