Daily: support bounce, strong sector momo with many biotech breaking out
Intraday: ORB, bull flag
XBI had a nice run on daily then pulled back to test support around $66. It already had a small bounce previous but didn't break out of the downtrend line. I was watching it from the open for a breakout.
I took an ORB entry in the morning, took 1/2 off when it broke the 9 EMA. I would have taken more off if the trend changed. It was holding all the MAs going into the afternoon. I added on the small flag with the 20 EMA coming underneath. Previous high was around $68.8 so there were several supports around the same level which made the probability pretty good IMO. This entry was nice because my risk was only 10 cents. I wish I had added more on confirmation though. There was room to at least $70.
