1CG trade ideas
Long (potential takeover, solid pipeline, tons of cash)- potential aim for takover (I suppose by VRTX ) . Company has 2.5B in cash, no debt with market cap about 4.5B$ (EV = 2.0 B)
- solid pipeline and probably will be first who get FDA approval for commercial CRISPR product
- got most of up front payment for milestones in CRISPR among competitors ( about 1b$ from Vertex and collaboration with Bayer). BEAM for example got only 300m$ in up front payment, NTLA even less.
That means CRSP has enough cash for 4 years R&D without share offering and sustain global recession.
CRISPR Therapeutic needs to break 83.46. This is a critical testCrispr has been moving up since the Morning star break out on 13th December. Its further progress hinges on breaking the 83.46 resistance. It has tried piercing this resistance twice but failed. The resistance line at 83.46 and the upward support channel formed since 14th December at $70.37 is intersecting 83.46 on 28th December and CRSP has to break out before that to make any further progress. Option strategies can be deployed to exploit the opportunity either way.
CRSPCRSP It's time to update the idea. The care turned out to be very deep, although this option of leaving for zone 77 was supposed. Now we have dropped out of the channel a little, we will count for an error, we are also holding on to the ema200 during the week, we have formed hidden divergences during the week, taking into account the potential of the company, the growth of xbi and the VRTX partner may be interesting.
It may still come down and test the "trend", but we are already at a good level
CRSP on a major weekly level. What's coming next? Today we will take a look at CRISPR Therapeutics.
Which are the main technical elements we can see here?
a) The price is against a major Support/Resistance level, working since 2018. The price reaction on these zones tends to provide solid insight into future movements.
b) Let's assume the price bounces on the current zone; what can we expect?
- A movement towards the descending trendline around 100.00. IF that happens, that would be a take-profit level for me. Why? Because we tend to observe corrections once the price reaches a major level. You don't want to be insight a sideways movement for 100 days
c) Let's assume that the price breaks the current level and keeps falling. What can we expect?
- A movement towards the ascending trendline around 50.00. That would be the next level where I would start thinking again about bullish reversals.
d) I'm a position trader. What is the most relevant level right now to develop setups?
-If that's your case, I want to see first a breakout of the descending trendline; IF that happens, I want to see a correction of around 50 days. IF that is the case, I will be interested in trading that breakout for the long term. However, at the moment, we are far away from that situation, and I would stay away from this chart for long-term setups.

Puzzled on this one honestly, looks like it wants to go lower, but we'll see at the weekly close. Keep an eye on the SPY index.

GOOD LUCK
Return to the mean-Covid ignored. We returned to the mean.
-Purple area = consolidation zone = buy zone.
CRISPR is a truely amazing discovery. Imagine if we could perfectly edit genes within 5 or 10 years. I don't think everyone understands how big this is. Good luck! Target 1 = double top, other 2 the fibonacci extensions.
Edit: Don't buy before we stay above the 20MA.
CRSP Possible BottomCRSP is currently at key support and the 200 week moving average. This may be a possible bottom, however it is best to look for an entry on a lower time frame (4hr or 1hr chart) before entering. Bottoming patterns to look out for are inverted head and shoulders, double bottoms, and/or higher highs with higher lows.
CRSP - WEDGE ON SUPPORT - PIVOT CANDLE CONFORMATION **ON ALERT**All,
Pretty easy to see why you would be bullish here. Few things need to happen.
1) full candle break watch for a gap etc
2) needs to break horizontal SR at 81.50s (full candle above)
3) market needs to hold this in here if it were to somehow lose these yellow levels would be big downside imo.
Add alerts and keep this on a short timeline maybe literally one more day.
