LLY: The Weight-Loss Leader – High Tight Monthly Flag

62
LLY: Big Base Breakout & Continuation

The Setup:
While the rest of the market panics, Eli Lilly (LLY) is ignoring the noise. The unprecedented demand for its weight-loss drugs, Zepbound and Mounjaro, continues to drive massive revenue growth, insulating the stock from tech-sector volatility.

Technically, we are seeing a massive Big Base Breakout on the monthly chart. Price is now digesting that move by forming a High, Tight Monthly Flag. This is a very constructive flat base with only a ~10% correction, signaling that large holders are not selling. This is an excellent area to start building a position.

Reasoning:
  • Strong Industry/Sector (Pharmaceuticals / Weight-Loss)
  • Big Base Breakout (Major structural strength)
  • High, Tight Monthly Flag (Bullish continuation pattern)
  • Relative Strength (Insulated from tech volatility)


If Labelled a Swing trade(2-6 Week Holds)
  • Entry: Full position on breakout (See Chart)
  • Profit Taking: Sell 1/3 at Goal 1
  • Final Exit: Remainder at Goal 2


If labelled a long term trade (3-12 Month Holds)
  • Entry: Good time to start building a position.
  • Risk Management: Risk 0.15% to 0.2% of your account per leg.
  • Position Sizing: Raise your stop loss on the previous leg every time you add.
  • Exit Signal: Close below 20-day EMA or 50EMA.


Note:
  • Remember: Every long-term investment alert can also be played as a swing trade.
  • I normally use half the risk that I show here, this is because I am okay re-entering if it fails and it gives a better R/R ratio
