Incyte Corp. (INCY) has been trending higher since hitting its 52-week low on March 23rd. Yet, now the rally has stalled and a key resistance level has formed.
INCY focuses on the discovery and development of small-molecule drugs. The company's lead drug, Jakafi, treats two types of rare blood cancer and graft versus host disease. The company last week announced positive results from a Phase 3 clinical trial, REACH3, that evaluated Jakafi in patients with moderate or severe steroid-refractory or steroid dependent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).
Take a look at the 1-year chart of INCY below with added notations:

As you can see in the chart above, there is a resistance level that has formed at $110 (red) and was tested on three separate occasions. $110 is also the 52 week high for INCY. A trader could buy the stock after a solid close above the resistance level with the expectation of a breakout.
Keep an eye out on August 4th for INCY’s latest earnings report.
Have a good trading day!
Good luck!
