Hecla, keeping hope alive….
A week ago, when HL was in the low $4 range, I noted that it had a very small window of time to get above weekly Ichimoku cloud resistance at $5.25, but that it was looking unlikely due to the size of the move required. (That first window, shown below, opens next week.)
However, this week’s huge 13.7% move higher has gotten price a lot closer to that threshold, but it is going to take something equally as big to get us above $5.25 next week.
If it fails to get through, the next opportunity to break through would come in August 2024.
Weekly stochastics are pointed upwards and are not yet overbought, and the MACD has crossed definitely positive and is still below the zero line, so those are both still tailwinds.
Let’s see what next week brings.
13% ….NOW THATS A WOKE MINER
Since you mentioned HL, let me describe a trade I made this week. After putting some fiat to work in an option play regarding silver, I had a total of $2.67 cents left in my brokerage account. I started looking for a call option trade I could do for one penny since the broker charges 66 cents per contract, I could only do one contract. I came up with the HL 4.50 call expiring yesterday and bought it for a penny ($1 plus the 66 cents) on Tues. Yesterday, I sold it for .34 cents or $34. Too bad I didn’t have a few more bucks left in my account at the time.
