MRKMRK looks good here up to 88. Safest entry is waiting on a retest of the channel around 80. Looks even better if you believe the market is going to sell-off after the fed cuts rates. Everything sells off in bear markets, but healthcare is a "safety" investment that typically a lot of people will put money into when the market starts to sell-off the first time off of ATH's. (2018 October and May 2019 for example) Earnings are coming up though. Which means a high volume day either up or down. Being that we are sitting on the bottom side of this channel, be very careful not to get caught on an impulsive sell-off if that breaks. Being that all news is good news this earning season, this seems unlikely, but still possible. *NOT Trade recommendations, Always do your own analysis!**

Look for Merck to respect trend line before enteringMerck ended the day near the bottom of its parallel channel, right above a high-volume support node at 8.19 and a trend line that's parallel with channel bottom. After hours, the price has moved below both the support and the trend line, but in my experience, after hours moves don't necessarily mean much. The real test will be tomorrow after market open. If the trend line breaks, then the price will test the bottom of the channel. That will be an opportunity for an entry with a tight stop loss. Merck had a product launch after hours today (a smart pet feeder) that could help move the price upward, but honestly this stock has so many catalysts that I'm not sure investors pay much attention to them anymore. This one is pretty minor in the scheme of things. More important factors are Merck's strong analyst ratings and long history of earnings beats. One possible downside catalyst is Merck's slightly negative Earnings Surprise Prediction from Zacks.

$MRK Merck & CO Inc. still in 19 year recovery cycleOn the daily chart of NYSE:MRK it seems that a nice breakout rally is setting up, with $84 as a good point to evaluate your position. The chart accompanying this post is merely a look at the nature of declines that a stock can suffer, to get back to the 2000 price level may take a possible 21 years, that is a long to hold and pray. It teaches us the lesson that stocks can keep going down, so accept you lose quickly and don't wait 20 years for it to claw its way back. Every company that we invest in is just one mistake or headline away from the fate of falling like a stone and the only ones left holding on are those who just couldn't accept the loss in the hope it will be different next week.

MRK needs to find support - what to look forHey everyone, Moving away from the typical crypto posts today. We are checking out MRK. This stock has seen some hefty losses in the past few days, pushing the RSI into a oversold area The increasing bear volume has not been supportive, and the price is breaking past the .382 fib level. The stock is looking to find support, but the last few days have not shown any. Before entering into this long position, we need to see some consolidation on price and bullish movement. Increasing bear volume after a week of losses is also not supportive of increasing price levels. The RSI will need to cool off towards the 40-45 range before we can see some bullish movement. After consolidation, wait for price to retreat to a newly made bullish fib level, signaling a new trend. Once a new high is made, it opens the stock up to a head and shoulders pattern, pointing south again. We would need to see bullish divergence either from volume or from the RSI to bring price higher after this. As is, we are in a bear movement that could pose a falling knife until proper support forms. What do you think? Where could we support form? -Block
