Recommended Trade (based on the charts)
Buy Price: If you want to get in on this trade, the ideal buy level for ALDX is if the stock corrects to the breakout level of the IH&S pattern, at around $8.20. However, you can purchase half the intended quantity of shares of ALDX above yesterday’s high, at around $10.50.
TP: Our first target price is $14 and the second target price is $18 in the next 3-6 months based on the IH&S pattern breakout.
SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss below $5.80 (for entry near $8.20) and $8.40 (for entry near $10.50). Note that this stop loss is on a closing basis.
Our target potential upside is almost 33% to 120% in the next 3-6 months.

- Entry near $10.50: For a risk of $2.10, our target rewards are $3.50 and $7.50. This is a 1:2 and 1:4 risk-reward trade.
In other words, this trade offers nearly 2x to 4x more potential upside than downside.
Risks to Consider
The stock may reverse its overall trend if it breaks down with high volume from the Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern breakout level. The sell-off of the stock could also be triggered in case of any negative news, overall weakness in the market, or any regulatory changes in the sector.
