UNXL Technical Analysis
UNXL gapped up in price yesterday to $1.44, up from the prior day’s close of $1.05, which is a 37% 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 October 13th, when it closed at $1.46. Taking a further look back on the chart, we can see the stock has been in an overall downtrend dating back to its 52 week high price of $8.50 on April 17th. More recently, UNXL has been on a decline since October 9th it traded at $2.16. The stock does have a low float of 13.48 million shares and is trading on almost 3 times the normal daily trading volume. Both of these factors make the stock a good candidate for the gap and go strategy. The stock did reach pre market highs of $1.75 but it gave back $0.31 at the open, or equivalent to 18%. For trading purposes my entry point would have been $1.50 looking for a run up to the pre market highs of $1.75. My stop loss would have been $1.40 fearing anything below that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
