Technical Look at ACAD

In between press releases, ACAD becomes highly correlated to the XBI Biotechnology Index, with extra beta above and beyond.  Below is a three day chart with the XBI and ACAD that shows a close correlation.
A daily chart below, has the stock still consolidating the recent months gains.  But there is a gap around the $24.00 area, that technically could get filled if the overall market puts in more than just the current pullback, as of today.  
Bottom Line:  ACAD has had a strong months worth of catalyst or positive press releases that has included the following.  

1)  EU strategy discussed during the second quarter conference call.
2)  Roche buyout of ITMN, had a positive effect on biotechnology in general.
3)  Breakthrough Therapy Designation granted from FDA.
4)  Positive comments made from CNBC.
