12/26/20234 min read

Diving into this week's watchlist featuring five penny stocks, our emphasis is on identifying resistance level breakouts and anticipating future catalysts. Stay ahead of potential upward movements and pinpoint strategic entry points in the market. Avoid the pitfalls of chasing a possible bottom; instead, wait for confirmation through a breakout.

Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: CYTO) - Last week, the company's stock closed down 13% at $2.85. The recent investor update highlighted milestones post the Bentrio® business spin-off. Completed on Nov 21, 2023, the partial spin-off sold a 51% stake in Altamira Medica AG for $2.3 million. Medica anticipates sales growth from 2024 with the launch of Bentrio in multiple countries. Nuance Pharma aims for market approval in China and South Korea in the coming year. Medica will supply Bentrio initially and may receive up to $3 million in development milestones and up to $19.5 million in commercial milestones. Nuance will pay royalties once local production begins. Pharma Nordic plans to launch in Scandinavia in Q1 2024, with discussions ongoing for distribution in the US, Europe, and other markets. We will continue to watch for updates and monitor resistance at $3.47 or consolidation in this range.
