Shares of Genedrive PLC (LON: GDR) today surged 8.12% despite the company not making any major announcements. Today’s rally marks the third consecutive day that the stock has risen after breaking out of a sideways trading range.

The latest rally can be attributed to a delayed response to the positive catalysts that have emerged from the company in recent weeks including the approval of its SARS CoV2 testing kit in South African on 30th September.

The stock barely moved on the news, while it fell after Genedrive announced that its coronavirus testing kit had been verified with Beckman Coulter Life Sciences’ RNAdvance Viral RNA extraction chemistry, which was a positive development.

Open Account Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 68% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

The 3-day rally by the stock shows a strong presence of buyers who are in control of the price and it will be interesting to see how the share behaves once it hits the 150p resistance level, which is just 13 pips away.

Traders who were well-positioned ahead of the breakout are sitting on nice profits. For those who are not in the trade, it would be best to wait and see how the share behaves around the 150p level before opening any new positions.*
