EPIX is currently trading near the lower end of its 52 week range, which is not a good sign. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new 52 week highs at the moment.
In the last month EPIX has a been trading in the 1.57 - 1.83 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range where prices have been consolidating recently, this may present a good entry opportunity, but some resistance may be present above.
Although the technical rating is bad, EPIX does present a nice setup opportunity. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. A pullback is taking place, which may present a nice opportunity for an entry. There is very little resistance above the current price. There is a support zone below the current price at 1.72, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for EPIX in the last couple of days, which is a good sign.
