I am back, although I am lucky to have power as most of Baton Rouge is still without power (which means without AC when the heat index is over 100 degrees). I have not been able to follow the sector too closely but it looks like we are having a nice little breakout with some […]
May 26th Biotech Update
I almost feel like we are stuck in a no news period until earnings but then I remember that we still have ASCO coming up (even though I am not sure it will provide very many fireworks for the sector). I have been talking about the sector being potentially in a trading zone but it […]
April 26th Biotech Update
An OK start to the week in terms of being green. It looks like we have broken the lower high trends and it would be great to get confirmation of that this week and even make a push at $140 in the XBI. I know it is easy to dump on the sector but honestly […]
April 12th Biotech Update
Is this the week of decision? Given that we are much closer to the downside break than upside, if we do get a decision this week it is likely negative. As such, I think the two most likely scenarios this week are either a downside breakdown or a bounce from these lower levels and move […]
March 31st Biotech Update
We are in an interesting spot. Yesterday started bad but we reversed higher and that continued today. It feels better with this bounce having a nice follow through. What is interesting is that we made a lower low despite the reversal., so in reality we seem to have established a downtrend even though we had […]
November 20th Biotech Update
The trend is our friend and it seems like the XBI wants to get to $90, although any price between now and then could see the pause. The worry would not be if we pause and pullback but to make sure that the pullback puts in a higher low. I am going to be a […]
November 19th Biotech Update
The leak is finally fixed. It only took six hours yesterday and an inadvertent flooding of the laundry room but it is done. Now I need to get the dry wall fixed before being completely done but some progress. Speaking of progress, the sector continues within its trend. It has been grinding higher marking higher […]
November 13 Biotech Update
All three SMIDs this week had positive news although only AMRN really took off on it. Of course, AMRN had the smallest positive move into the week and probably had the highest amount of doubts over the catalyst, so it sort of makes sense. I want to spend today going back over the other two […]
November 11 Biotech Update
This is not necessarily a big week for the sector (the trend still seems in intact) but certainly some big SMID catalyst for stocks that I follow. In fact, there will be a trifecta of news (two of which already happened) that could be meaningful. So let us dive into what had happened. 1. PIRS […]
November 5th Biotech Update
Let us see if the trend is our friend. We hit what should be some resistance and have stalled. Previously, this led to a day or two of a shallow pullback followed by a push to new highs. We are in the second day of a potential pullback so we should be setting up for […]
November 4 Biotech Update
Of course we get some meaningful news when I am unable to write but at least it was good news. And of course the sector does well when I am not here (but at least it did well). Looking at the chart there really seems like a nice little uptrend has developed with clear higher […]
October 9th Biotech Update
We are potentially setting up well for the sector. Yesterday was a down day but was that the pullback to consolidate the bounce and start a trend higher? Maybe. We need to get over recent highs around $78 on the XBI and while we do not need that today we probably need to at least […]
October 8 Biotech Update
This is going to be an interesting couple of days for the sector. This is either the pullback to consolidate before another leg higher or the end of the dead cat bounce. Sentiment in the sector is awful. Sell side notes are talking about conversations with money managers with most simply seeing the sector as […]
