AMGN trade ideas
Where Do Investors Buy? $AMGN Crushed On Drug Data And CostShares of Amgen, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN) took a thumping today after they announced slightly better data on a cholesterol drug, compared to its peers already on the market. The problem is, the drug costs $15,000 a year and insurance companies will likely not cover the drug because it is only slightly better than what is on the market. The stock dropped over 6% and many investors rushed to buy it. That is a mistake. The stock will continue to trend lower until it hits $160.00, a major support gap fill level. The reasoning is simple. First, investors should never buy a gap lower on negative news from a stock at all-time highs. There will be more trimming of positions in the hedge fund industry and possibly analysts downgrading the stock. In addion, there is no major technical support that is strong enough to justify a buy level. The $160.00 level is major. Buy it there.
Long now or maybe tomorrowHop on Amgen for a little ride up the short-term channel. Not sure if today's bounce will push it up right away, or if it'll wait another day. Good entry point though

AMGN RESISTANCE ZONE, WAVE 2 RETRACEGood fundamental. At 145.28 resistance zone, seems like a Wave 2 retracement. Waiting for bullish candle/pennant breakout for Wave 3 confirmation, or resistance zone accumulation for a BUY.
AMGN Bell Curve?AMGN has deviated outside the inner channel into extreme ends of what would be considered to be the sides of bell curve. Short but be cautious. 1st PT around 165 if break then 2nd PT around 144.

Horizontal Horizontal movement this stock looks good for swing and position trades. Or as an option trade straddles and strangles. However one interesting aspect is that the OBV is in a trend upward, precluding an long run trend.
