Amgen is Forming a Cup & Handle

Keep Amgen on your radar. It has formed a rather large cup and I've measured the conservative parameters for the cup height.

Conservative price target: 280

No position yet but I'll be watching the daily candles and volume to snipe the entry when it reverses.

Stay tuned!

No position yet. Indecisive price action. Good hammer candle on Friday but could be setting up a bear flag with the large red candle from Thursday as the flag pole.

Patiently waiting.

Trade active:

Long @ 239! 1/2 position. Just at the 50DMA

Trade closed manually:

Sold at break-even end of day. A close below the 50DMA and low of the day is not bullish. Will look for potential re-entry post-earnings if it can reverse and close above the 50DMA.

Earnings are here as well adding another layer of risk.

Better to be cautious and miss a trade then be wrong and pay dearly for it on a potential gap down should it miss. No gambling.

Rebought 1/4 position @ 233

Holding 1/2 position @ 234.5

Added 1/2 @ 230.

Max position! 232.25 Avg

Comment:

Added 230 ATM puts on the whole position to hedge. Close below 230 opens up the door for low 220s (potentially).
