At the moment, the stock is testing a breakout from the old trading range, and longs will be keen to see further conference or scientific journal coverage of the ongoing clinical programs for the companys FimaCHEM and FimaVACC products, as well as partnering deals for its FimaNAC product.
Biotech
The Conformis Come-BackConformis Inc. (Nasdaq: CFMS) is a medical technology company that uses its proprietary iFit Image-to-Implant technology platform to develop, manufacture & sell patient specific joint replacement implants. The implants are designed to fit each patient's unique anatomy.
CFMS stated in their previous ER (July 31, 2019), the company was updating their 2019 outlook to have "generally flat year-over-year product revenue growth for the full year 2019." The 'expected decrease in growth' was primarily due to denials in coverage from Aetna, the 3rd largest commercial payer. During the conference call, CFMS said they had "submitted its clinical and economic data to Aetna and understands that Aetna is currently reviewing its medical coverage policy." During the conference call, Conformis CEO suggested a potential update was coming this September from Aetna.
As we approach mid-month, price has held 50 retracement from the lower-high made on August 28, 2019 ($2.33 ). Conformis stated that the letter denying coverage from Aetna only referred to Conformis as a company, rather than a product denial per usual standards. If Aetna did make a mistake and is willing to cover the Conformis custom joint replacements, this could bring massive upside to the current stock price.I am forecasting a $5 PT (assuming CFMS gets Aetna coverage as they did with Cigna before).

Technical's
As shown in the previous chart , CFMS is positioned for a breakout. Price has continued to hold the 50% retracement from the Aug. 28, 2019 high. Previous patterns from January 2019 show similar price movement (trend-line in blue), indicating a "new" uptrend in the making.

Conclusion
Potential of medicare approval for total knee replacement at surgery centers in 2020 is a huge opportunity as baby boomer population grows. The Aetna reimbursement issue will pass (as Cigna did). The soon to be released total hip system is being undervalued by the market. I am forecasting a $5 PT foregoing CFMS getting Aetna coverage.

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) Looking to Breakout HigherBefore a major cup and handle forms, it often forms a half cup or rounded bottom that signals a more back toward former highs. It can be an early entry into a really large move if the stock breaks above former highs, or it can simply provide a swing trade which rides the momentum up into the prior high region.
The target for the trade provides for an exit just below the prior high, since the price may consolidate there. Alternatively, a trailing stop loss could be used in case the price flies through the prior high and keeps going. In either case, the risk/reward is attractive here.
The last patterns like this played out in 2012 into early 2013, and then again in 2014.
Disclosure: Entering long this week, assuming the price action remains strong.

And I understand how speculation could play a role. However, there's less volume now compared to a few weeks ago and it's approaching a level that also falls in line with previous levels it was at before.
AVEO Fake Out? Or Consolidation Before Another Breakout?Aveo recently announced that the Tivozanib drug , in its second analysis, showed an improved survival hazard ratio. This penny stock news prompted the company’s stock to fly over 60% from Monday’s opening bell to Tuesday’s premarket high of $1.10. But just as quickly as it jumped, AVEO pulled back aggressively during the last 30 minutes of trading on September 10. Good Phase 3 news? Seemingly so but will profit taking crush the hopes of this breaking beyond $1 for good?
Chart indicates possible technical levels and it seems that around today's high is one of those levels.
"Biopharmaceutical company, Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc. ( AVEO ) is pursuing treatment plans for different tumors. The company has 4 treatment plans in clinical trials and 2 additional ones undergoing pre-trials. Aveo’s lead product, Tivozanib, has completed the clinical trials and has been filed and marketed."

Bullish SharkLeap is looking to make another leap. Harmonic shark patterns leave more room for volatility trades and make for high reward scenario's when traded correctly.

Not only does this trade have massive upside potential for a swing trade, it is also showing confluence with Fibonacci time-cycles, fib-retracement and trend.

ABEO Stock To Watch (But For How Long?)ABEO stock has been beaten down for much of 2019. It had declined by as much as 80% since the beginning of the year. It went on to emerge as one of the biggest gainers in the market yesterday. The company announced that it was going to explore options that could unlock value for the shareholders. It stated that even an outright sale or a takeover is being considered. However, volume has been cut down dramatically on Wednesday compared to Tuesday's volume. How long can the run sustain and what will come of ABEO later this month?
