$BAX Is Ready to Pop

By Licia Leslie

August 9, 2024

Hi Shoppers,

 

Baxter International (Ticker: BAX) is ready to take its next leg higher:

It is consolidating over the old resistance now new support of $36.67.

 

I think it can trade up to $39.10 and possibly $39.96.

 

The 200 day moving average is sitting at $37.49 so wait for the stock to trade over that for a bit.

 

Once it clears there, I will be looking to buy the Aug16 37.50 calls:

Use a close below $36.67 for your stop loss.

 

Trade Review

 

I last wrote that NextEra Energy (Ticker: NEE) was going to trade lower after making a double top. The stock is consolidating here and I would not take a short position until it trades below $76.57.

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,
