Celgene is one of the most volatile biotech names out there, and it has been on a rollercoaster ride since peaking in early August. The stock got pounded in early fall when it appeared Hillary Clinton might win the election and potentially institute weaker pricing policies for biotechs like Celgene. That drop may have been a great chance to buy, as the stock was nearly cut by 20% but has moved sharply higher since earnings were released.
What we find attractive here is the “gap ‘n hold” pattern. Resistance is just ahead around the 110 level, and it may pull back some from there, but a strong MACD buy signal has been confirmed. Additionally, momentum is very good and relative strength has improved greatly. We could see a move back to the August highs very soon, so keep your out for a pullback – it will be a “buy” opportunity.
