>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IMUC if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.20 to $2.28 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 533,470 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then IMUC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 200-day moving average of $2.73 a share or at $2.93 to $2.94 a share. Any move above $2.94 will then put $3.26 to $3.50 into focus for shares of IMUC.
