UNH: 50% Inception

3 945
"All I want to buy in 2025 is Healthcare" has been what I've told people that ask me about this tech stock or that AI company. It is my nature to look for what sector is the most downtrodden and find opportunity there... NOT in what "everyone" is talking about. I still feel that way as 2025 comes to a close.

The big move in this sector this year was $NYSE:UNH. I played this a few ways on the drop. My first entry was on the raw 50% Retracement of the trend from the bottom of 2008 to the All Time High of November 2024. Such a fast and deep retracement on such a high capitalization stock cannot be ignored. These things come around literally once per generation.

The second entry was the Volume Profile level of the pre-COVID years. This was the last possible Support and if price had traded any lower I would have had to cut my position for risk management. However, it was then soon reported that both the GOAT trend trader, Warren Buffet... and the GOAT contrarian Michael Burry... had BOTH taken large positions in the company and price responded bullishly.

I have continued to watch my position and today on my scanner for morning 30m Spikes I saw UNH.

This Spike comes at the near perfect intersection of both the short term (November 19th-December 4th) trend AND the long term generational 50%. It's a "must take" trade so I added it to my short term trading accounts to supplement my long term position.

3:1 next day. Going to take some off but leave on some for the long term. I trade shares, no margin, btw. Continuing to build a healthcare focused portfolio for the next decade.
Trade closed: target reached

Took most profit at the Resistance of the 50% Retracement from the downtrend off the most recent major high. Leaving shares on now as additions to my long term hold.
