AUPH swing tradeLooks like AUPH is in the start of an uptrend after the $6 support level that developed. I am looking enter in at $6.60 with a stop limit set at $6.38, just below the old support at $6.40 back on April 6, 2017. Also, the price is closer to the bottom of the sideways trend so hoping for a move up back to the $7.90 price level.
Ascending Triangle Formation and Breech We formed an ascending triangle as we approached resistance at $6.60. We have appeared to break above the top level in a bullish manner which could result in a bullish afternoon if we do not retrace back below $6.60. Hopefully, this trend will continue throughout the end of the day and into next week.
AUPH, Squeeze Released but Bounce Off Strong ResistanceAUPH, Squeeze Released but Bounce Off Strong Resistance
The price trends have been squeezing within the flag for quite some time which correlates with the squeeze indicator. Hard resistance levels have been spotted. I anticipated meaningful upward/downward movement as we reached the tip of the flag. We broke through upwards today, but the lack of volume was met with the end of day retracement as we hit resistance.
Right now, the squeeze indicator signals that the security is still ready to move, however, $6.40 proved to be continued resistance. RSI (30m/1m) has also been exhausted, sitting on the high side at 61 making it a difficult to justify any further upward movement due to recent low volume and volatility.
MACD has crossed above the signal, but the channel is narrow and starting to flatten out.
My prediction, we are bouncing off $6.40 and heading back down into the $6.25 range until we get more volume in the future.
First analysis, any and all feedback is welcome. I do have a long position set up. Thanks!
Potential Breakout of Bullish PennantPotential breakout to the upside or downside of this pennant. I believe it's more likely to break upwards, as there is a very strong rising bid for support that's held up for weeks and won't budge. It's about to meet the downward sloping resistance and lead to a breakout. With potential good news coming out early next week, very high potential for a strong upwards breakout. Buy on breakout on high volume, stop below rising support line or below previous low.
AUPH - Long On Monday!!!I will be looking for long positions on Monday. PA is above 50 MA & VWAP indicators. On shorter time frames, will be looking at Support areas for entries, initial ceiling is $7.40, which when broken will go back up to around $7.67. This stock went up 4.71% on Friday, with a volume of being over 5,900,000.
You will need to evaluate all trading with your own strategy and see if this is a stock, will be on a watch list for this coming wk. Like always, remember price action and money management are keys.
