Relative Strength Pharma Name Setting up Bull Flag Near Highs

VRNA pulled back into the 8 EMA Thursday but a bounce from here can likely breakout to new highs over 70 and possibly further if markets get some stability into next week. VRNA still has the 400 near-the-money April $65 puts short puts in OI that sold to open at 5.10 on 2/21 as well as 500 January $65 calls bought at $11.90.
