ContraVir Pharmaceuticals: Possible Breakout Of Current Consolidation

 | Nov 20, 2016 01:43PM ET

Contravir Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:CTRV) closed slightly below key resistance on volume. The technical daily chart above shows a large consolidating pennant shape that could see a strong breakout to the upside next week.

The high short interest should also serve to fuel a short squeeze situation. If a breakout above 2.15 occurs, we could see a move toward the 2.45-2.50 range initially, then a test of the highs is forthcoming.
