XBI biotech ETF EW count optionsSharing an intermediate view of the EW count options for XBI.
The short-term bullish range is $97-$98.
The short-term bearish target ranges are $89 - $88.50 and $87.
The bearish count, in red, drops the price to $81ish as first support. If, $81 range does not hold, $72 is the C wave target.
In the meantime, I anticipate a lot of chop in the range from $86 - $100 in the next couple months until a rate cut occurs.
As speculation of a rate cut increases, the price can begin to gravi

Strong bullish case for $LABDCan see this at $15.00 given that is where most shares are currently held, according to FRVP; this means there will likely be little downwards price pressure until then. Biotech is generally bearish outside of select, short-lived bull runs - this, in my opinion, creates an opportunity for sentiment arbitrage and is my reasoning for the trade (short term/long term outlooks are both bearish)

Is LABD looking to break out of this ascending triangle?As far as popular reversal patterns go, ascending triangles are no bottom of the barrel. Although I still am a new trader, I have been committed to the market for just over 1 year. With that said I have been watching LABD/LABU in proximity of market trends. When the overall market is bullish I trade LABU with success. When Market is bearish I trade LABD with success. My number #1 rule is follow the trend. That is why I am bullish on LABD.

Biotech Looking a Little Sick: LABDAnother descending triangle has appeared in LABD. My numerous other finds have yielded decent results but we have yet to see a turn in the market indicating a new direction. The play itself might be worth a couple of percent gain but please trade safely. The downturn near the end of Friday's session is forecasting a likely poor Monday opening in addition to the negative news that continues to come out of the ECB and New York.
