Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TTPH)

[rusty8350]

Interesting volume pick up on Friday trading with TTPH. Seemed it dipped a few times (including end of day) into the 5.35 range only to see high volume of buying.

I glanced at a five day chart and the volume candles stuck out to me from this trading range as well.

Also noticed on a daily chart that the day the big candle down below $6 occurred on Aug 3rd (day after earnings) where it again dipped to that $5.35 level before seeing high volume and support.

Again, I have much less of a clue as to the in's and out's of technical analysis. Just reaching for straws and looking for trends here. BUT.... It does appear there is support in that range. Guess the coming week will tell if this is the bottom and the share price starts to climb or if it keeps selling off from here.

Fundamentally there's really no justification that I can think of for this continued sell off. Nothing in the earnings was a surprise, the company is in good standings financially, and there are many short term catalysts that are coming soon. With so many shares were just bought for $6.50 like two weeks ago I just cant see it going down much more from here. But I'm probably wrong and it's going to drop to $4.50 lol. Guess we shall see.

I know the red/green volume is supposed to represent a buy vs a sell, but theoretically speaking, doesn't there always have to be a buyer if there is a seller and vice versa? Does it just represent a sell into the bid vs a buy on the ask? Really wish I knew more of the ins and outs as to how that whole process works.
