Description of Chart:

The FDA's rejection of Fusilev in October led to a steep sell-off in SPPI and a testing of the 200 day support around 4.30
SPPI traded below the 200 day support briefly as the broader market began to pull back immediately following the steep price drop.

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc (SPPI.O) said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a policy ruling to allow reimbursement for the company's cancer drug, Zevalin, effective Jan. 1, 2010.

SPPI is trading up almost 9% as the news has renewed buying interest in the stock.  A close today above the 200 day MA at $4.40 along with the rounded bottom in both the RSI and Stochastic indicators suggest that SPPI is headed higher.  In addition, Apaziquone is currently undergoing phase 3 trials.  Positive results in the near term could help SPPI regain some of the 60% decline the stock has seen since early September.
