Vericel - Chart Of The Day

The Chart of the Day belongs to Vericel (VCEL). I found the biomedical stock by using Barchart to sort today’s New 52 Week High list first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/13 the stock gained 9.53%.
