From a technical standpoint, the Peregrine has not seen a down day in the last 7 trading days and is seeing its biggest day today in the run up, possibly because today was the day it passed its 50 day MA of $1.06 and is nearing another resistance point of $1.18, its 200 day MA. While its RSI is nearing over bought levels, hitting 64.99 today, its MACD is showing signs that this could be the beginning of a nice run for the stock after bouncing off its 52 week lows just before its great run back up. We will be keeping an eye on Peregrine to see where its drug candidate, bavituximab, finished up after the end of its trial to be completed late 2016.
