Yesterday, Allied Energy Corporation (OTCMKTS:AGYP), hit a high of $0.65 and closed just off the high at $0.6295 for an intraday price gain of 21.06%. AGYP traded 794,430 shares, almost twice its average daily volume of 428,172.
This was an extremely big day in what has been an impressive month for the company. Investors could’ve potentially net up to 150% in profits from AGYP’s 26 cent low June 7th.
Thursday was crucial for the stock’s bullish momentum because AGYP was able to break through another major resistance point at 51 cents. This is the third major resistance point the company has breached in the past 5 sessions. Now AGYP is on the verge of busting the top off of their chart into blue sky breakout territory if it can break the next major resistance at $0.66. It may or may not happen before the holiday weekend.
One reason AGYP may be on the verge of a breakout is the short volume.
449,560 of AGYP’s nearly 800 thousand shares traded Wednesday were reported as short.
Tuesday, 528,378 of 708,126 shares traded in AGYP were short and 667,979 of over 1 million shares traded Monday were reported short.
Thursday’s short volume was 479,377.
(All short reports according to Finra)
This kind of setup is ripe for a short squeeze.
Especially considering the company has been consistently releasing positive updates via Twitter.
