13-Mar-07. Osteotech barely budged in the market freefall at the end of February and got a boost from its earnings report a week later.

  • Price momentum (PPO) — has fallen off since hitting another new 52-week high
  • Trend (ADX) — still strong with buying pressure (+DI) and selling pressure (-DI) evenly balanced
  • Money flow (CMF) — strong inflow has subsided a bit since new high
  • Relative strength (RSI) — drew back to neutral, but is strengthening again
  • Volume — much higher daily volumes since early February

Based on technical analysis, MarketEdge calls OSTE a "strong buy" in a "strong upward trend."
