Up Approx. 11%, (Nasdaq: MDCX) May Have Broken Through Key Psychological Resistance


August 18th

Dear Reader,


Medicus Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDCX) is smack dab front and center on our radar this morning.


Off to a strong green start and up approx. 11%, MDCX has broken through psychological resistance at the $2.00 level early Monday.


If support starts to build now at that $2.00 level, it may act as the building blocks for an extended vertical trend.


Don't forget. MarketBeat is also reporting at least 2 separate analyst targets to be suggesting triple-digit upside potential for MDCX from current chart levels.


And with a low float under 3Mn shares, volatility potential should be on watch daily.


Take a moment to review my initial (Nasdaq: MDCX) report below and consider this biotech profile for your watchlist.

-----


In today’s fast-changing life sciences sector, a few companies stand out for advancing novel therapies that tackle serious unmet medical needs.


One such company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is developing a dissolvable microneedle patch to deliver chemotherapy directly to tumors, aiming to change treatment for skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma.


Now in clinical trials in both the U.S. and United Arab Emirates, this method could challenge traditional cancer care by offering less invasive, more patient-friendly options than surgery or systemic treatment.


The company is also broadening its scope via strategic acquisitions, including a late-stage UK biotech focused on next-generation therapies for advanced prostate disease.


These moves reflect a wider ambition to influence multiple therapeutic areas, especially those needing safer, more effective solutions.


By drawing on a thesis-driven approach and deep industry ties, the company is working to speed the development and commercialization of groundbreaking treatments.


With the global biotech market rapidly expanding, such advances warrant attention for their potential to reshape standards of care in both human and veterinary medicine.


Plus, with a low float of fewer than 3Mn sharestwo analyst targets suggesting significant upside potential, and a definitive agreement in place working towards a momentous acquisition, there's little doubt why I've got my radar fixated on this new Nasdaq profile.



*Medicus Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: MDCX)*


Medicus Pharma Ltd. is a biotech/life sciences company focused on accelerating the clinical development programs of novel and disruptive therapeutics assets. The company is actively engaged in multiple countriesspread over three continents.


And based on several potential catalysts, (Nasdaq: MDCX) has pushed its way to the top of my watchlist. Take a look:


No. 1 - A Low Float Could Create The Environment For Heightened Volatility.


No. 2 - Medicus Signs MOU With Helix Nanotechnologies Inc. To Combine Key Company Platforms.


No. 3 - A Pair Of Analyst Targets Suggest Major Upside Potential (Triple-Digit!).


No. 4 - Medicus Seeks FDA Consent To Fast Track Clinical Development Program With Submission Of Type C Meeting Request.


No. 5 - A Definitive Agreement Moves Medicus Pharma A Step Closer To A Game-Changing Acquisition.


But more on those in a second...

No. 1 MDCX Potential Catalyst - A Low Float Could Create The Environment For Heightened Volatility.


According to info from the Finviz websiteMDCX has a fairly low float.
