Here are some of the recent references I have made about Biotechnology and the potential for a rally.

  1. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) as a top pick for 2025
  2. Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) another top pick and subject of 2 recent Daily articles
  3. On Schwab Network Tuesday, Nicole and I discussed how this sector looked like it could perk up
  4. With Geoff Bysshe on Monday, we did a podcast featuring the Healthcare ETF and IBB, the Biotech ETF and part of the Economic Modern Family.

Incidentally, Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) is so oversold on a monthly timeframe, it should be on your radar.

How well is technical analysis (price) working right now? IBB-XLV-Daily Charts

Looking right first, the chart of XLV shows the breakout over the 50-DMA back in early January.

If you are still not convinced our calendar ranges are amazing, look how that phase change perfectly corresponds with a breakout over the January 6-month calendar range!

Plus, another one of our incredible indicators, Real Motion showed a bullish divergence.

The chart on the left is IBB Biotechnology or what I call Big Brother of the Family as we all look to pharma to help and protect us.

Like XLV, Real Motion indicated a bullish divergence in momentum.

Exactly like XLV, that phase change over the 50-DMA corresponded with the January calendar range high.

Now both are trading above their 200-DMAs.

Plus, both are outperforming the benchmark.

I will say it again, technicals rule and fundamentals drool.
