KAT Exploration, Inc. is possibly setting up for a very important breakout above the recent trading range.  I was looking at KATX very critically over recent weeks and wanted to be sure that it would not break below 5.5 cents.  It has not broken this support and is an internal sign of strength.

The overall structure of KAT Exploration, Inc. is looking quite bullish and I am upgrading the penny stock rating on KATX to a 1 (our highest rating level). Why?

Well because KATX has now shown us that it is unwilling to break down below 5.5 cents and it wants to maintain the current strong longer term trading range and is now at the top of the trading range for the THIRD TIME.

Usually a stock or index will succeed on its third attempt at breakout out.  Usually, not always. But I like the recent three day move and I also like today’s intra day reversal.  The candlestick looks great.

It is also nice to see KATX performing so well given the recent overall market weakness and the general sloppy trading and weakness in the gold price.  This is a very good sign.

KAT Exploration, Inc meets most of the criteria I look for in a superb penny stock trading setup.  It reminds me of the setup that Sarissa Resources had over a year ago.

I like the fact that KATX has a lot of SIDEWAYS CAUSE and has not broken down.  KATX is a great example of the type of penny stock we like to identify here!  If you ever see a penny stock with a similar setup to this one please do tell us about it so we can share it with our readers!

If KATX is able to hold and maintain a full price candlestick above .092 (possibly next week ?) then it has a clear path to about .17 cents.  There is almost no resistance all the way up to that point and it could be reached in short order.

Certainly a huge gold price breakout would help things along as well, but for now KAT Exploration, Inc seems to be doing quite well on its own too.

According to bloomberg.com KATX currently has a market cap near the 37 million dollar range.  This is a bit of a concern as it become increasingly rare to see ANY penny stock trade above a 100 million dollar market cap.

Assuming KATX is able to successfully trade to the .17 range, then the next level of resistance is the .45 range. 

For KATX to get to .45 range it is going to have to once again form another sideways base of many months duration.

If things get wild enough in the gold market and the gold price is able to get a super spike going then I think it could be reasonable to see KATX eventually reach the above mentioned targets.  A lot of the next moves do depend on the gold price in my opinion!

You might notice that I have not even mentioned any fundamentals about this penny stock.  The only thing I need to know is that it is a gold stock and that the gold market so far is still in  bullish stance.  The chart itself right now is speaking enough to me that it is all I really need to know for now.

The strength of KAT Exploration stock in the last few days despite overall market weakness is a great example of how many times you will see penny stocks trade completely independent of other market indices.  It is almost unbelievable how they do it.  But in a certain sense they become safe havens to the rest of the market.  But for this to happen the stock must have some very strong hands, a very good story and some committed shareholders.

KAT Exploration, Inc the gold mining penny stock that has been range bound for quote some time now today had what I consider to be a possible key reversal for the stock near the .06 level.

KATX has been range bound for a while and what I am so far please to see is the the stock has NOT violated the .05 level on the downside.  This is very important and a key consideration for this penny stock in my opinion.

Why?

Because breaking down below .05 would show that sellers have enough strength to break the recent trading range and destroy the changes of a continuation uptrend.

Today was a key reversal in terms of the daily candlestick and could be a sign that KATX wants now to trade back to the top of the recent range which would be the .09 level.  That is the most important near term consideration for this penny stock.  If it can get to .09 again then it may have a chance for a successful breakout above the .09 level because usually stocks succeed on their breakout attempts with the third try.

KATX or Kat Exploration looks like a nicely performing stock chart.  It has had an unbelievable run since .005 and amazingly could possible run even higher as long as key support levels are not violated.

It is all too rare to see a penny stock perform in a clean fashion with a clear uptrend like some big board stocks.  And yet KATX seems to be doing just that.

The condition right now is for KATX to continue to get nice price reactions and support off of the .05 level.  If KATX can maintain its composure above .05 and then eventually get above .07 again, it could be ready for another big run.

It is also interesting that the gold price at this point still looks constructive.  As far as the GLD ETF I am waiting and looking for full price bar action above the 114 level for gold to get another massive up leg going.  It really needs to get above those levels for confirmation of new uptrend.

If that happens, then we could be setting up for another parabolic type move in the gold price and that could potentially help KATX to get another leg higher going.

But for now, first things first.  KATX must hold .05 and perhaps build a bit more sideways cause.  Lets see how well it behaves in the weeks ahead…
