ALB From Insider Monkey :Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) has seen an increase in hedge fund sentiment recently. ALB was in 23 hedge funds' portfolios at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. There were 18 hedge funds in our database with ALB holdings at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that ALB isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds (click for Q4 rankings and see the video at the end of this article for Q3 rankings).
I am long GALXF & LLKKF for the same reason, I believe the Lithium market is heading for a massive bull market 2021 and forward. ALB is a juggernaut but there is plenty of demand for lithium batteries for many other companies and LLKKF is my pick could be the same price as ALB one day
AMC trade ideas
ALB has my favorite profile: Breakout, reversal, pivot, supportALB has just recently moved out from under two downtrend lines and is just above pivot at $71.
Rising uptrend line off of Aug $59 lows now gives support at the $70 level as well.
First attempt to break out from 2 year downtrend will test first resistance at $76 level.
Weekly RSI is in a rising uptrend with reading just above 53 level as well.
BUYING now in the low $70 area with stop loss at the Dec 16 breakout day opening of $67.50
Long position module on chart will track progress of both new uptrend and target trades for 2020.
Second resistance level is at $82.60 which is used as target on long position chart module.
Main target is the bottom of previous price channel at $92.27 last seen 11 months ago.
This channel was ongoing for over 12 months with higher end at $108.
Top pricing of two year downtrend was at $127, therefore that is ultimately the target for any new structural change in trend (off of August lows) going forward.
Therefore with 5/1 risk reward I am risking $4 to make $20 with the $92 price target during 2020.
Trade to win...Trend is your friend...Manage the risk...Make your success.

So be aware of;
1# the support at 60$, if it breaks, likely scenario is we continue the trend towards 40.
