NTWK Technical Analysis
NTWK gapped up in price yesterday to $7.75, up from the prior day’s close of $6.40, which is a 21% increase on favorable news. Taking a look at the daily chart, we can see the last time NTWK traded above this price level was on October 27th 2013, when it traded at $7.77. The gap up in price shot right through NTWK ‘s previous 52-week high price of $6.52 that was reached last week. NTWK does have a low float of 8.95 million shares and is trading over 33 times the normal daily trading volume. Both of these factors make NTWK a prime candidate for the gap and go strategy. NTWK did reach pre market highs of $9.05, but gave back $1.30 at the open, or equivalent to 14%. For trading purposes, my entry point would have been $7.85 looking for a run to $9. My stop loss would have been $7.65, fearing anything below that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
