Cornerstone Therapeutics (CRTX) bullish cup w/handle

Cornerstone Therapeutics (CRTX) bullish cup w/handle


CRTX came up on one of my options screens today as having unusual call activity. Call trading volume is 380 times the average volume of the last 5 trading days. Trading in the stock today also mirrors the bullish options stance, trading volume is 2626% higher than yesterday. The chart formation is a bullish cup w/handle formation that most of you should recognize. Based on the formation and the extremely high trading volume (for a Microcap such as this) think the stock price could reach the high it achieved of $11 in July ’09 by February ’13.
