AcelRx Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ: ACRX)

AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company, develops and commercializes therapies for the treatment of acute pain. The company’s lead product candidate is Zalviso, an investigational, pre-programmed, non-invasive, handheld system that has completed Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in the hospital setting. The company is also developing ARX-04, a sufentanil single-dose tablet, which has been planned to initiate Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain to be administered by a healthcare professional to a patient in settings of acute pain, such as in the emergency room, hospital floor, ambulatory care facilities, or on the battlefield.

Take a look at the 1-year chart of AcelRx (NASDAQ: ACRX) below with my added notations:


Since dropping suddenly in March, ACRX has been basically trading sideways ever since. During the sideways trend, the stock had created a clear level of resistance at $5 (green). A break above that $5 level should mean higher prices for the stock, and last week ACRX finally broke that resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: ACRX broke through its key level of resistance at $5. A long trade could be entered on a pull back down to that level. However, a break back below $5 could negate the forecast for a higher move and would be an opportunity to get short the stock.
