Anthem, Inc. $ANTM flashing a VCP

Anthem, Inc. is a provider of health insurance in the United States and is ranked 23rd on the Fortune 500. Fundamentals are very strong, it has an average YoY revenue growth of +14% for the las three quarters, and the last two quarters had EPS and Margin growth over the hundreds.

IBD is giving NYSE:ANTM a #1 rank in its industry group and a 94 relative strength rating. That is synonymous of good fundamentals accompanied by very good technicals. Relative to the NASDAQ, the index has done three lower lows as NYSE:ANTM has done three higher lows. That is the kind of action a future leader does.

Also, if you compare it against its sector XLV, is doing way better.

For the las 5 weeks, the price has been making a classic VCP with a pivot buy above $472. Today had a bad close but with low volume, that is a good sign. But, as the market is still in a correction, breakouts aren't working very well. Is time to be cautios so, if the breakout happens I'll buy 1/4 of my typical position sizing.
