 LFMD Opportunistic Pullback Levels

Using the rifle charts on the weekly and daily time frames provides a near-term view of the landscape for LFMD stock. The weekly rifle chart peaked out at the $32.85 Fibonacci (fib) level in early February 2021 and has been selling off ever since. The weekly 5-period moving average (MA) has been sloping down at $22.93 as the weekly 15-period MA was able to hold support at $14.71. The weekly stochastic crossed down. This sets up a weekly make or break that will either result in a breakdown if the weekly 5-period MA crosses over the 15-period MA down driven by the falling weekly stochastic oscillation towards the 20-band. The bullish case would be a pup breakout as shares rise back up through the weekly 5-period MA powered by a weekly stochastic cross-up. The daily rifle chart downtrend has stalled as the daily 5-period MA is rising at $17.02 powered by the daily stochastic cross up and mini pup attempt through the 20-band. The daily market structure low (MSL) buy triggered above $16.90. However, the weekly market structure high (MSH) sell triggered under $19.00. The daily rifle chart has a make or break as well, but it’s the inverse version of the weekly rifle chart make or break since the daily has a stalled downtrend versus the weekly with a stalled uptrend. Prudent investors can monitor for opportunistic pullback entry levels at the $16.90 daily MSL trigger, $16.19 fib, $15.08 fib, $14.08 fib, $13.51 fib, and the $12.51 fib. Keep an eye on peer telemedicine stock TDOC as they move together. Upside trajectories range from the $22.13 fib on up to $29.85 with best-case upside at the daily upper BBS near the $36.03 fib.
