Despite drifting lower in recent months, Crown Electrokinetics Corp.'s (CRKN:NASDAQ) technical setup has continued to improve, and we can see why on its latest 1-year chart. On this chart, we see that the decline into late April brought it down to the low of last December, with which it made a Double Bottom with the sharp rally on huge volume out of this low viewed as bullish.
We had earlier thought that it might be making a Head-and-Shoulders bottom, but it was pressed lower and lower by the falling 200-day moving average bearing down on it from above.
However, it held the lows and has risen off them, giving time for the 200-day m.a. to drop down into the base pattern so that we are now seeing an increasingly tight bunching of price and moving averages in a manner that frequently leads to a reversal into a major uptrend.
The reason that this update is titled "The strange case of Crown Electrokinetics" is because the outstandingly strong On-balance Volume line is contradicted by an equally weak Accumulation line, which is most paradoxical, yet the fact remains that there has been persistent relatively high volume since this potential base pattern started building out, which shows the substantial rotation of stock that is viewed as bullish, since the buyers are clearly smarter than the sellers, who are selling at a low level at a loss, and they are less likely to relinquish their stock until they have turned a profit.
To be honest I am amazed that the stock has not made greater gains in recent days given that the company just secured a US$85 million order for a project that comes hard on the heels of another order about a week before for US$50 million and was the sixth big project won in six months — and this for a company with only about 50.7 million shares in issue.
What appears to be happening is that some investors, apparently completely unaware of the big orders that the company is winning, are continuing to sell onto rallies although the current bunching of price and moving averages strongly suggests that this selling will soon be exhausted and when it is the stock is likely to make big gains.
On the 3-year chart, we can see that the base pattern that has built out since late last year was preceded by a savage bear market that erased most of the stock’s value.
We, therefore, stay long, and Crown is rated a Strong Speculative Buy here.
