Conclusion, Investment Implications, Strategy

Mylan N.V. (MYL) is currently breaking out higher from 6 weeks of sideways investor indecision.  A sustained rise above the upper boundary of this indecision area, currently at $16.14, would confirm the breakout and target an additional 21% rise to $20.00 per share.  This is an Asbury Momentum idea.

Chart 1 below plots MYL daily since December 2019 along with its 200-day moving average, a widely-watched major trend proxy.  The green highlights show that the stock is currently breaking out higher from about 6 weeks of sideways investor indecision from the mid March lows.  A sustained rise above the upper boundary of this indecision area, currently at $16.14, would confirm the breakout and target an additional 21% rise to $20.00 per share.

Table 1 below shows that, considering the aforementioned upside target and a protective stop placed below the $15.78 area, a long entry price of $16.51 would provide a 1:4.8 risk/reward ratio (risking $1.00 to make $4.80) with an initial risk of 4.4%.
