Crispr - DNA/Gene editing Technical Analysis
Since early December, we have had over a dozen tails on the purple up-trend arrow drawn in.
The 50sma is now coming into play, as a break below that, could take us another 20% down to the 100sma.
An appropriate level to exit the trade then, would be below the 50sma.
There also horizontal support as we fill the gap.
Important Note:
Earnings are on February 10th; so be aware of this if you plan to enter the trade.
Opinion
I believe this company is the future of gene editing.
Check out a documentary of the company on Netflix called Human Nature.
*It is more about how Crispr (DNA modification) works, than how the company makes money.

CRSP short trade updated chartHere is the updated chart on CRSP short trade I posted on January 14th. It's been down 23% since the date it was posted. So far so good. First target was hit today and managed to keep above as I have expected. I expect more downside in days to come. XBI sector can break down anytime too now. Literally one red day will do. My next target is the bottom of the channel colored yellow. Once the selling gets momentum, it will be pretty swift downward move. Definitely can't fall a sleep behind the wheel right now in this market.
Have a good trades everyone,
T.

In addition, the company is developing allogeneic CAR-T programs comprising CTX120 targeting B-cell maturation antigen for the treatment of multiple myeloma; and CTX130 for the treatment of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Further, it engages in developing regenerative medicine programs in diabetes; and in vivo and other genetic disease programs to treat glycogen storage disease Ia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and cystic fibrosis.

1D Time Frame
1-2 weeks horizon
Price trending up for the past months respecting the 21ema. We are seeing another pullback approaching the 21ema which also happens to be around the 61.8% fib level. MACD lines are pointing down but over all trend is upwards, histogram suggest weakening bullish momentum (could be a sign of divergence). Stochastics is pointing down heading towards oversold level. Overall, I am bullish on CRSP on the short term.

20 period CMF even crossed down 0.

High probability swing short set up on CRSPHere is my short case on CRSP:
- at the top of trading channel started since Feb 2020
- over bought reading on RSI
- both PPO and RSI shows very clear divergence high
Starting building a position as it hits the top of the channel and scale in as it moves down. Impulsive break of the wedge should move it down to the support at $161. Reaction will be likely, consolidation or a minor bounce. Then, if it gets taken down, then moving down to the bottom of the channel which intersects with $145.80 horizontal support. If that breaks, it's going way lower since $110 and $131 area are pretty thin so the move will be probably pretty swift.
