h3 /h3 h3 CALA Technical Analysis/h3
2016 was a transformative year for Calithera as our lead product candidate CB-839 entered into multiple novel combination trials and progressed towards Phase II, and CB-1158 advanced into clinical development leading to a partnership with Incyte Pharmaceuticals for a strategic development and commercialization collaboration in January 2017.
Looking forward to 2017, we expect to highlight new clinical data from each of our clinical programs at scientific meetings, with clinical data expected from CB-1158 in the first half of the year, and multiple clinical updates on CB-839 combination trials in the second half of 2017. This includes the first clinical data presentation of CB-839 dosed in combination with Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo. Globe Newswire
CALA opened trading yesterday at $12.45 which was up from the previous day’s trading close of $12.40. Shares closed trading yesterday at $12.35 and spiked down after market to $11.50, equivalent to a 7% decrease from the closing price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see that the last time CALA traded below these levels we have to go all the way back to February 28th, when it traded at $9.00.
Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that before the spike down CALA had been in an overall upward trend dating back to November 28th, 2016 when it traded at $3.15. CALA has a float of 7.15 million shares and traded 1.02 times the normal daily trading volume on Monday. Even though it is higher priced than most penny stocks I trade, it still looks like it could provide some opportunity.
For trading purposes, I would like to see CALA open trading on Tuesday below $11.75 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.20 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap down.
