In late May Insmed Inc. INSM surged on a late-stage win for its lung disease therapy. Insmed is a New jersey-based biopharmaceutical company that focuses on developing and commercializing inhaled therapies for patients with serious lung diseases.

Let's check out the charts and indicators.

The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has surged higher. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator has turned higher and is in a very positive move above the zero line.

The weekly trading volume has been quietly increasing. The weekly OBV line shows gains the past two years. The MACD oscillator is in a bullish alignment above the zero line.

In this weekly Point and Figure chart of INSM, below, I can see a price target in the $130 area just like the daily chart above.

Bottom-line strategy: Traders could use a dip into the $60-$55 area, if available, to do some buying of INSM. Risk to $53. The $130 area is my price target.
