$ONDS continues to remain a generational buy as it nears the 200DMA.

The last time I’ve seen a setup like this was $ASTS at $35 a few months back which shortly after ran 250%+

$20 is the first target for $ONDS followed by $32+ by EOY."

A hold here for another day or so and I will be adding

A quick correction after a run up to $120 is very bullish. If this is the bottom a new impulsive wave count will form.

This new wave could take $ASTS to $200+"

Retail Mourinho short term price target: $150.

But first $70, then a casual 100% run.
