1MRKX trade ideas
$MRK Ascending TrianglePossible ascending triangle on the monthly. Triangle ends by the end of 2024 so may be a good long term play.
MRK: swing trade!Above 74.80 supports a bullish trend direction. Breaking below this level will negate the bullish stance.
Upside price momentum supports the bullish trend direction.
RSI leaves enough room for further upside price potential.
Trend strength indicates a weak indication that a trend might be developing.
MACD bullish crossover (lower panel) supports a change in trend direction.
A break above its 200-day will act as further support to the trade idea.
MRK on track to be down at the DividendSo far, MRK is going exactly like the previous Dividend payouts. Dropping down to these levels. My guess is it will rebound after, so it should be a great time to get in.
Merck gaining momentum. MRKImmediate targets 85, 86. Invalidation at 76.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe
Seems to me the time to buy MRK is just after the dividend....If i look at this, it seems every time its dividend time, the stock drops and then rebounds, right around the same amount. Seems like a good entry point?

MRK impulsive move short termTarget 83-85 if we see continuation to the upside. Looking good for a short term move this week.
Merck and Co. gearing for a boost. MRKAnd that's expected to an extent after a sizeable and quick drop. Merck did one, and fractally we are due to a rise that can potentially be viable percentage wise. But who knows what will happen.

Lookin real prettyMRK looking like it's about to pop again...Filled 2nd GAP this week with a slight move down with another move hopefully up to fill the 3rd GAP at the $90 range...I am long on this stock
$MRK killing it...Doing everything that was expected off of that sma convergence. A lot of upside potential still to come, no position anymore just watching...
MRK - Attempting to retest 3-year range high at 88-90 area Mrk has been making higher lows over the past three years of consolidation between the 70 and 90 range. After finding support at the 200 day MA, the stock could rally toward the range high at the 88 area for a retest. The major resistance is the 92 (year 2000 peak) and 91.4 (Nov 2021 peak).
$MRK breakout...This resolved in the exact way I wanted. Bought 1/21 $80 calls yesterday at $0.26, now almost $1. Now I have plenty of options, 1. Close out take profit and move on, 2. Sell the topside of the spread and have a free trade, 3. Sell the weekly $80's or $80+ spreads and collect premium for 1/7, 1/14 then the topside of the 1/21....
Breakthrough and open within the gap...Looking for this to run into earnings... $90 pt
*Just a guy with a mouth and a desktop
$MRK see if we can move off these SMAsHolding some 1/21 $80' calls from $0.25, solid start but could use a nice pop into the end of the week...
Triple BottomPossible stop under lowest bottom or where you see support.
Possible stop under green dashed line somewhere but keeping in mind market makers do go stop hunting on occasion at the most inopportune times.
Suspicious looking top but a triple bottom can show the bulls made a stand at that level.
Price is at resistance possibly caused from the bottom of previous gap. Another gap or 2 overhead.
The alligator indicator is tangled which can signify consolidation.
No recommendation.
$MRK breakout or failure?Been consolidating here for several days, either we start to fill this gap, or fail back down to the low $70's. Going to 1/14/22 and trying 10 $80 calls at $0.34, with one $75 put to cover
MRK has a lot of headline potential from hereHeadline Potential
Merck has three drugs currently under priority FDA review, one of them a Covid-19 drug:
Molnupiravir, an antiviral for Covid-19 which has received a positive opinion from the advisory board and which Merck's CEO says should work against any variant
Vaxneuvance, a pneumococcal vaccine
Lynparza, a breast cancer drug
Merck also continues to make strong headway with Keytruda, an immunotherapy, which recently picked up another approval in Japan.
All of this means that Merck has a lot of headline potential in coming weeks, especially at a time when a new Covid-19 variant is spreading across the world. There's quite a bit of options activity in Merck today as traders place bets ahead of the news.
Technicals and Sentiment
Merck is currently near support from a long-term trend line and from the 200-day EMA. It has 26% upside to the average analyst price target and a bullish put/call ratio of .43. It has an average analyst rating of 9.3/10, which is very high. It gets an above average ESG score of 2.25/3.
Value
S&P Global gives Merck's fundamentals an average score of 90/100. IIt's currently trading -1.4 standard deviations below where it usually trades in relation to its major moving averages. Forward dividend yield is about 3.7%, forward P/E just over 11, forward P/S about 3.4. The price to free cash flow ratio is fairly high, at over 20, but that has to be interpreted in light of the other multiples. estimate that Merck has about 18% upside to its average price multiple of the last 3 years. Its earnings outlook is highly positive; I score its growth forecast a 5/6.
Merck MRK - Currently at an interesting long entry with good R/RRisk/reward to first profit target is 5.29. Currently holding support.
$MRK recap....Yesterday liked the daily set up and wanted to take one more flier on the $77 calls if it ran. Grabbed them at $0.18, closed in the morning on the pop at $0.60. 233% profit
$MRK worked as planned...Nice set up earlier in the week, looked like it should move and a stock that could move regardless of the FOMC decision. Took $74 calls from $0.70 to $2.30, 228% return...moving on for now
