Harmony Biosciences (HRMY) specializes in developing and delivering treatments for rare neurological diseases that others often overlook. A worthy cause. A sell-side firm raised their fundamental rating on the company Friday to "buy" with a $61 price target. Let's check out the charts and indicators.

In the daily bar chart of HRMY, below, we can see a sideways to higher market. The shares made lows in January and May and then a higher low in September is trying to gain traction. The 50-day moving average line has been oscillating higher the past year and the 200-day moving average line shows a rise.
