Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ:HALO) shares have crossed bullishly above their 10-day moving average of $5.78 on a volume of 5.3 million shares. This may provide swing traders with an opportunity for a long position, as such a crossover often suggests higher prices in the near term.

There is potential upside of 28.4% for shares of Halozyme Therapeutics based on a current price of $7.01 and an average consensus analyst price target of $9.00. The stock should find resistance at its 200-day moving average (MA) of $7.81, as well as support at its 50-day MA of $5.73.

Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. develops and commercializes recombinant human enzymes for the infertility, ophthalmology, and oncology communities.
