BLUE trade ideas
$BLUE Oh my This week has been one for more hesitant type of trades (Fed rates, ECB, $CMCSA vs $DIS vs $T vs $FOXA, NK summit, etc.,). Haven't seen my A+ type setups until now. Announcement for $25M company buyback over next few months is definitely one about to fuel the fire that's dulled out from "Trade wars", "rate hikes", "Corporate credit after vertical merger this that", or every other Chinese related company outperforming $SPX this week. Nonetheless, weekly setup is as golden as daily (depending on Friday EOD). Week high is $199.70. Break above $200 & I'll be expecting a bull run like we haven't seen since before Feb lol.
BLUE long if strong tomorrowBluebird has been a strong performer over the past year, which is now testing support. It probed its rising trendline support yesterday, and today dropped below that and tested its 100-day SMA. It seems that valuation concerns are the reason that the selling got underway a couple of days ago. But I haven't read anything negative about the strength of their pipeline. I do agree that a $10B market cap is a lot for a pre-revenue biotech. But there are some very large indications getting addressed by BLUE (sickle-cell disease and myeloma, just to name two). I am not sure what to make of the CELG partnership, now that CELG has bought BLUE competitor JUNO. But all in all, I do like BLUE for a bounce after 7 days of selling. If it's green tomorrow, I would favor a long entry.
