A Quick Cheap Shot in MRK

BY LICIA LESLIE 

January 24, 2024

 

Hi Shoppers,

 

Merck & Co. (Ticker: MRK) has been hammering at the resistance provided by the high of 

May 3, 2023.

 

It has been consolidating and attempting to bust through it since January 9th:

I think MRK is going to break through this resistance and have a nice rally trading up to $123 by Friday.

 

Looking at Friday’s calls:

I think money can be made on the 120 calls for around $.70.

 

Watch the five minute chart for that breakout and hop into those calls.

 

Trade Review


SPDR S&P 500 ETF (TIcker: SPY) has traded higher and those 483 calls are up 45%. I think we will trade higher today, too.

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,

Licia Leslie
