ATRA Atara Biotherapeutics Extremely Bullish Reaction To Private Placement – ICPT Case Study

by Olivier on July 13, 2015

A few days ago ATRA – Atara Biotherapeutics announced a private placement. The key is how a stock reacts to such news. If your goal is to reach peak performance in trading you pay attention to price and you ignore everything else. The reaction to news and the technicals is all that matters. It is all you need to know. A quick repost of my favourite quote of all times that addresses this important subject:

Everything you need to know is right there in front of you. – Jesse Livermore

Here’s the chart of ATRA I posted on Twitter earlier today. It shows all the ingredients of a super winner in the making.

Great reaction to news.
Trading near its All Time High
Bullish overall pattern pressure

I used the term ‘Case Study’ in the headline. Here’s why: ATRA reminds me of a super winner of the past. ICPT – Intercept Pharmaceuticals. ATRA is displaying similar characteristics.

As you can see in my chart annotations the reaction to news is key. ICPT shot higher immediately after the private placement was announced. It went on to become a super winner. ATRA’s reaction to its private placement strongly reminds me of ICPT.

Conclusion: Biotech is still the only game in town when it comes to producing phenomenal results. The key to success is Fishing in the right pond.
