This cannabis stock has tumbled in 2019, so our chartist looks for a positive catalyst.

Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB) 

The inset on the chart below highlights something fascinating with recent price movements for Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB). At time of writing, the share price is at $2.52 and the downtrend is at $2.40.

For the last couple of sessions, the price has mirrored the 'blue' downtrend and, despite the visuals, has closed above the immediate trend. This gives slight hope "something" is due to happen.

We'd regard movement now above $2.64 as capable of provoking an initial $2.88. If exceeded, secondary calculates at $3.27.

The important detail about the secondary is it risks being fairly game changing. In the event the price manages above $3.27 on an initial surge, ongoing recovery to $4.64 and beyond is expected.

All this hope is based on the price visually managing to avoid our big picture bottom target of $1.98. The share bounced, just above this target level and implies some hope for the future.

The detail of it actually trading above the immediate trend, again implies some hope.

Perhaps worth watching in the days ahead.
