BioLargo Inc. (BLGO:OTCQB) was recommended at a good point early in February as it went on to about double in price by the end of the month as it moved to complete a parabolic slingshot uptrend that we can see delineated on the 6-month chart below.
By the end of this move, it had become extremely overbought, with volume building up to climactic levels. This situation naturally called for a lengthy period of consolidation or reaction before another significant upleg could take hold.
We have seen a large bull Flag / Pennant forming that has corrected the price back to the support at the parabola and in the vicinity of its rising 50-day moving average and, in the process, completely unwound its earlier heavily overbought condition. The way that volume has died back on this reaction is bullish as it indicates that speculative froth has cleared, paving the way for renewed advance, and it is thus most encouraging to see that the Accumulation line has remained strong during the reaction and is even making new highs which is a reliable indication that another sizeable upleg can be expected soon. With the price now cornered between the rising parabola and the descending upper rail of the Flag / Pennant channel, an upside breakout looks set to occur soon.
Note that interesting long-term charts for BioLargo's stock may be viewed in the original article.
While BioLargo is advancing its business on many fronts, as set out in the original article, there have been a number of developments since then. In addition to some high-level management appointments, the company revealed that it had Achieved 108% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth in 2023.
As President and CEO Dennis Calvart said, "Almost cash-flow positive in the fourth quarter of 2023, we continue to focus our business on leveraging our intellectual property and partnering with great companies to scale up sales and distribution while preserving capital and human resources."
In addition, just a few days ago, the news appeared that BioLargo PFAS Removal Technology Meets New US Drinking Water Standards. The full significance of this is grasped when you understand that until now drinking water providers were subject to a patchwork of regulations cobbled together in a piecemeal fashion by State and local regulators.
Now, however, they will be governed in a uniform manner by Federal Law understood to be coming into effect this month. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) estimates compliance with the new rules will cost approximately $1.5 billion annually; spending in other industry segments is not included in that estimate (e.g., treatment of groundwater, wastewater, industrial wastewater, or landfill leachate).
As BioLargo's Tonya Chandler explains, "These long-awaited drinking water regulations are a big win for our technology. Our AEC has an edge over the competition, as it can meet these new standards for all PFAS contaminants and generates far less PFAS-laden waste requiring disposal." With respect to this, an interesting report about BioLargo has been put out by Oak Ridge Financial on the 17th of this month.
