EDIT trade ideas
EDIT: Potential 50% ish upside with 8.3:1 r/r hereI like the odds in $EDIT, strong chart setup in the 2-day timeframe, earning levels give us a nice estimate of overhead resistance. Chart has been basing for a while, and could be ready to break up from here, after coiling for a long time.
I'd reccomend buying into it around here, or maybe buying call options due to earnings risk.
Best of luck,
Ivan Labrie.

If it bounces of support; look for high 30sAscending wedge on weekly;
Symmetrical triangle on daily;
Wait market to show its hands first before entering.
Editas: TSI v Price Divergence .... Time to Buy. Substantial divergence between absolute price and TSI values over a sustained period.
This would seem to support a price directional shift.
Editas, last dip before new highsEditas gives another entry chance on the weekly.
Adding to position in case of further dip next week.
Long EDIT @ trendline supportA tight stop could be set here but I went with a bit looser one that would confirm a break down from trendline. Could be held long term or short. Good risk:reward.
The topic of genesiology/eugenics may be ignored and considered morally reprehensible in modern society, but appears to be inevitable. I will ignore moral argument for this discussion.
The film Gattaca presents a vision of a future society driven by eugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic selection to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits of their parents. NASA has named Gattaca as the most accurate science fiction film of all time. Selective genesiology is inevitable.
This article reviews modern research aimed at making Gattaca the future. nerdist.com Some researches are quoted as saying genetic selection will be reality as soon as 5 years from now.
Gender and eye color can already be selected for with a procedure known as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
Key traits could include height and skin color. Susceptibility to cancer, heart disease, obesity, and genetic disease could also be on the table. Industries associated with these traits are already trillion dollar industries. Studies show height plays a major role in male social & financial success. Koreans and other asian culture pump millions into solutions to lighten their skin.
Gene replacement and repair with enzyme complex CRISPR/Cas9 has already been successfully performed in human embryos but 100% success has not been achieved and embryos have not been allowed to gestate. This technology will likely be used to revolutionize the agriculture industry before human applications are practical. Stocks in this category are highly dependent on the success or failure of the CRISPR-Cas9 procedure, and as the limitations of the procedure become more clear, stock prices will suffer.

EDITAS Long IdeaDecent price, good stock. At a significant level on the 1H chart where 200MA and Trend line meet.
Enter at price breakout from pullback trend line, with stop loss below trend line of previous low.
EDIT: Strong Uptrend. Bull Flag Pattern. Earnings next weekThree out of the last 4 ER resulted in rallies. See Notes on drawings
EDIT: Equity offering bearish or is it time for a reload?earlier in the day, EDIT announced on a 50M public offering of common stock, resulting in diluting share holders on a P/E basis and also hinting the possibility of financial distress or mis-calculation on future earnings or road blacks.
From a purely technical standpoint, it was already a logical place to take profit and look for future strength to see if the trend will continue. It's important to note of this trend line support, as well as the general Fibonacci ranges. should EDIT blow through the trend line support, we should take chips off the table and anticipate some type fo bearish terms for the public offering.
its also crucial that we pay attention to the oscillators levels for confirmation of a continuation of trend or a trend reversal. Granted, these oscillators are not gospel but they do help anticipate direction and overall confluence in the general market.
Range to add are: 24 USD
Range of Price targets to take chips off the table: 30 USD & 40 USD
SL is 21.50 USD
Editas wave 3 of 3 about to startWave 3 of 3 should bring the price up to the previous high of around 43 USD.
This should be a first step towards much higher prices.
EDIT Symmetrical Triangle Breakout on watchEdit is showing a symmetrical triangle setup. Possible breakout. Very high volume on the last trading day.
Chance to take a swing hereLooks like the correction comes to an end soon. If so, I will enter a long position.
Entry trigger for me is a (small) bullish candle, after the last bearish. That all has to happen in the H4 chart to be a strong signal for me.
At 22.63 $ we have our first resistance, could be that price bounces back from there, so keep an eye on that.
If there is no bullish candle, I will not enter a position!
Good luck, and best of trades to you!
