MNGA Technical Analysis
MNGA gapped up in price yesterday to $0.99, up from the prior day’s close of $0.93 which is a 6% increase in price based on favorable news. Taking a look at the daily chart, we can see the last time the stock traded above this price level was on September 23rd when the stock hit a high of $0.99. Taking a further look back on the chart we can see the stock has been on decline since it hit its 52 week high of $1.58 on May 21st. The stock does have a relatively low float of 24.26 million shares and was trading on high volume yesterday at almost 6 times the normal daily trading volume. Both of these factors make the stock a good candidate for the gap and go strategy. The stock reached pre market highs of $1.12 meaning that it gave back $0.13 at the open equivalent to 12%. For trading purposes my entry point would have been $1.00 looking for a run through the pre market high of $1.12. My stop loss would have been $0.95 fearing anything below that and the move up on the stock would have stalled out.
