Biotech HOLDRS Hits Critical Resistance, Says Market Timer Frank Kollar

Jun 26, 2008 (financialwire.net via COMTEX) -- BBH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- June 26, 2008 (FinancialWire) (By Frank Kollar) Shares of the exchange-traded fund Biotech HOLDRS (AMEX: BBH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) have outperformed the stock market over the past several weeks but have now reached a critical resistance level.

At Wednesday's June 25 close, Biotech HOLDRS was just a fraction below the Fib 61.8% retracement-resistance level of its April-May decline. If Biotech HOLDRS closes above this level, at $170.11 a share, it will be a bullish indicator and will point the way higher for this widely traded ETF, likely to an advance that will challenge the March highs at $176.70 a share.
