VRTX trade ideas
VRTX holding support zone near 80.Technically Speaking
A nice range has formed b/w the support zone at 75-80ish to resistance at 103ish level. Say a 25-27 dollar range.
Fundamentals
Vertex is a pharma co. You can read a summary of what they do here .
What to do?
First, what type of trade is this, a technical trade or a core long? I don't have any special insight into this company, so this would be a technical trade for me.
If trading technically, trade the range with a stop on either side. I would be more willing to hold a long, looking for a break up through resistance.
OVER THE LONG TERM, THE WAY TO WIN IS TO HOLD ONTO YOUR WINNERS, AND CUT YOUR LOSERS. IT IS AS SIMPLE AND AS HARD AS THAT.
VRTX DAILY CHART: CHECK YOUR WEEKLY CHART/INSIDE BARA NUMBER OF BIOTECH STOCKS FORMED INSIDE BAR ON WEEKLY CHART MONDAY. CONSOLIDATING NEAR HIGHS. LOOK TO BUY SUPPORT LOWER CONSOLIDATION ZONE OR WAIT FOR BREAK OUT FROM UPPER CONSOLIDATION ZONE. WATCH OUT FOR RESISTANCE/MELTING CANDLES NEAR FIBONACCI EXTENSION LEVELS.

VRTX setting for move lowerAfter stock bounced from resistance that is intact since May 2013 and broke down upper level support @ $76 with strong follow through to November lows.
Now, it is flagging near lows in front of support. With weak Biotechnology sector and market sitting on resistance it could be start of another down leg.
Enter short @ $63.80
Stop above 21 MA @ $66.83
Target $58.07-$59.76 and then I expect potential break down and continuation move to low $50ish area.
