CEMP Cempra is at trend line technical & psychological resistance from Q3 2013. Many traders must see this also as short interest has been spiking as show in the bottom panel (data gleaned from FINRA, NYSE & NASDAQ and provided by Quandl). The lower trend line sits approximately at a L5 Cyclical Support level and would be a likely target and initial location for covering. If price pops above $30, a short squeeze would take place and provide fuel for a run close to $33-34. Earnings are coming up Feb Cempra is a highly levered, high debt speculative bio tech specializing in bacterial infections. EV/Ebitda = (15.81), P/B = 23.29, I believe CEMP is working itself into a corner (price-wise) within this rising wedge. This indicates investors may be running out of patience. The more explosive move looks to be to the downside. I have a small speculative short position going into earnings. Nothing big. I probably should have executed a bearish call spread and limited risk and profit also as this bio tech arena is volatile.
I see the trendline form 2013. Rising wedge? Getting the sort information was good. I went to Quandl. Lots of data. thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Yes this looks like a rising wedge. Remember, not all of these patterns break to the downside. I am trying to say that with high short interest, there could be a swift move up as short position holders cover.
