GNLB@1.84
Got inot this one late today. Liked the way the chart was setting up, the Indicators were saying a possible reversal was in the make. Stochastics and MACD are looking good, and the CCI is approaching a buy signal. Insiders are buying.
The company has a possible FDA approval in the works.
Will set stop around 1.68 or so. Hoping for at least a 30% gain on this one.

The stock has support at 1.72 and 1.61. If the stock breaks down through support at 1.72 then it will probably continue lower to 1.61. The stock has resistance at 1.94 and at 2.23. If the stock breaks up through resistance at 1.94 then it will probably continue higher to 2.23. The 200-day moving average is at 2.76. This will also act as resistance. The stock has broken out of its long-term downtrend and is looking more positive recently. If the stock can form new support above 1.72 look for a rally to previous highs. The stock is slightly oversold according to the Stochastic Indicator (31.27
