This is an emergency "heads up." Take a look at the chart below:

"Stocks Under $10" stalwart Rocket Lab RKLB is testing its own 50-day SMA from above for the third day in a row. The stock did this in August as well and passed that test. ​Coming out of the cup-with-handle bullish pattern, the stock rallied sharply and then put in a bull flag pattern of continuance. That means that if the stock passes this test, it likely continues on in rally mode.

That said, this is not a profitable company just yet. Should that 50-day line crack with a daily MACD that is getting messy (nine-day EMA is negative, 12-day EMA is below the 26-day EMA), then the pros will reduce long-side exposure and so will I. 

In the meantime, I am adding at that line in case it holds. In addition, the stock really has no level in between the 50-day SMA and the 200-day SMA should this happen. Like I said, I am adding for now, but with an itchy trigger finger.

At the time of publication, Guilfoyle was long RKLB equity.
