Biogen (NASDAQ:BIIB), Ticker: BIIB
Biogen, BIIB, stalled just short of 300 in March and moved lower to support. It gapped up again in late April but could not hold and moved lower quickly. The eventual low in May fell below the January low. A lower high and then a lower low is a definition of a downtrend. Two weeks ago the stock printed a Hammer candle and it confirmed as a reversal the next day. After a small pullback in a bull flag it started higher again Friday. The RSI is building and on the edge of a move into the bullish zone while the MACD is crossed up and rising. Look for continuation to participate higher.

Up Next: Bonus Idea
After reviewing over 1,000 charts, I have found some good setups for the week. These were selected and should be viewed in the context of the broad Market Macro picture reviewed Friday which showed equities mixed heading into the June Options Expiration Week, with the IWM and SPY (NYSE:SPY) looking strong but the QQQ weak as there was rotation out of the QQQ and into IWM.
Elsewhere look for gold to continue lower while crude oil also looks better to the downside. The US dollar index continues to be biased lower while US Treasuries pullback in the uptrend. The Shanghai Composite is back to its upward drift and Emerging Markets are biased to continue higher.
Volatility looks to remain at very low levels keeping the bias higher for the equity index ETF’s SPY, IWM and QQQ. Their charts show strength in the IWM and consolidation in the SPY short term with the QQQ looking diseased. Longer term all trends remain higher with real strength returning to the IWM. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.
