Sartorius: When Opportunities Are Hidden in Lower TimeframesSartorius: When Opportunities Are Hidden in Lower Timeframes
Sartorius is a German company that has delivered an astonishing 30,000% return since 2008.
Yes, you read that right, investing €10,000 back in 2008 would have turned into €3,000,000 by 2021 , thanks in part to a final surge fueled by the COVID-19 boom.
Looking at the long-term weekly chart, we can clearly see a major trendline that was broken, sending the stock into a prolonged downtrend. So far, Sartorius has dropped 80% from its peak, and there might still be room for further declines before reaching key support areas, such as the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and the pre-COVID highs.
Are we witnessing the last leg down before a major reversal? Or is there more pain to come?
Bounce at Key Local Support — Short-Term Opportunity
Right now, the price is bouncing off a very interesting local support, the same area that previously created a sharp V-shaped bottom . This pattern suggests buyers are stepping in aggressively, seeing these levels as a bargain .
Revisiting this area gives us a potential long entry .
It’s true we could aim for the upper boundary of the current channel for a +30% gain, but placing the stop loss would be tricky, it would need to be relatively wide and against the prevailing trend, which I’m not a fan of.
In situations like this, I zoom into lower timeframes to see if a more precise, short-term setup makes sense.
In this case, we can see that, in the very short term, the price has formed a base and broken above a resistance today. That breakout opens the door for a long trade aiming for a +3.5% return in 2–3 days , with a tight stop loss that still gives plenty of room for price action to breathe.
Based on my analysis of similar historical patterns, the odds of success are over 70%. With probability and risk/reward on our side, let’s go for it!
By first studying the higher timeframe trend and then zooming into the lower timeframes , traders can identify short-term opportunities that align with the broader market direction.
This alignment increases the probability of success, as trades are placed in harmony with the stock’s long-term momentum rather than against it.

Sartorius: Target 180 Euro?After subsequent negative news, we see again a important floor broken and a falling knife movement. There are two different patterns indicating a move towards 180 or into a side movement corridor between 168 and 196 which is again 15 to 30% downwards potential. It's an ABC pattern (not a perfect one) as well as the side range which includes a local double top. The side range/ideal target of this is nearly the same as the ABC target: Approx. 182 Euro.
Short-term profit targetOn Friday TecDax favorite Sartorius AG underwent a fail breakout. So I will follow the short consolidation up to the FIB level representing the lower line of the symmetrical triangle. I assume that strong resistance may likely hold a third time, so that risk for loss is acceptable.
To cover the trade, I used a put KO 1.31% warrant with a leverage of 7.
