Biotechs Looking Up – Two Stocks To Take Advantage

The Biotech industry group is making a comeback and the ‘under the hood’ chart displays new strength coming into the group. We have a constructive bottom that price is breaking from and while it does need to overcome resistance at the 200-day EMA, it looks encouraging. What impressed was the increase in participation of stocks above key moving averages which is trending higher. A positive close today would likely see these numbers expand.

The Silver Cross Index measures how many stocks have a 20-day EMA greater than the 50-day EMA, or those stocks holding a “Silver Cross”. The Silver Cross Index is moving swiftly higher right now and should see a Bullish Shift across the signal line soon.

We will say that this is a rather aggressive group so it could turn on us should the market weaken. Stay nimble.

I did a quick scan and found two stocks in this area that you might find interesting.

First we have a stock that I picked yesterday for DP Diamonds subscribers. In DP Diamonds I go through my scan results and find the best candidates to present to subscribers. I give out ten stock and ETF picks per week. PTCT has broken from a declining trend. The RSI is positive and the PMO is rising toward a Crossover BUY Signal. Stochastics are also on the rise. Notice relative strength studies. The group is attempting to outperform again. PTCT is outperforming both the group and the SPY. I’ve opted to set the stop as close to support as possible without making it too deep. There is plenty of upside potential here.

VERV is breaking out from an intermediate-term trading channel. I like this breakout move. It is trying very hard to close above resistance. Given the positive RSI and rising PMO above the zero line on a Crossover BUY Signal, it looks like this breakout will materialize. The OBV broke out with price so the rally is being confirmed. Stochastics are above 80. Relative strength is excellent for VERV against both the group and the SPY. We could see a little profit taking at this resistance level, but that would likely offer a good entry.

Conclusion: Biotechs are rallying and under the hood indicators are confirming the rise. We should see more upside out of this group, but as noted earlier, this is an aggressive group and will likely require the market to continue making its way higher. Should the market turn on us, there won’t be too many areas that will be unscathed, but for now the rally is holding up.
