The biggest problem facing the world right now is the coronavirus crisis. While it is tragic what is happening, there's a huge opportunity for investors that can invest in the companies that will solve this crisis. There are two segments for investors to focus on - those companies working on a vaccine and ones companies working on testing for coronavirus. One stock which we've identified that has enormous potential in the testing phase is Predictive Technology Group (OTCMKTS:PRED).What's most exciting about OTCMKTS:PRED is that the company is focused on a COVID-19 antibody test. A major answer to the question of when — and how — Americans can return to public places like work and school depends on an antibody test, a blood test that determines whether someone has ever been infected with the coronavirus. People who are believed to be immune may be able to safely return to work. It would be especially important to know which health care workers are protected from getting infected and could continue to care for sick people. The White House is even thinking of issuing “certificates of immunity,” which could be issued to people who had previously been infected.This is where OTCMKTS:PRED comes in. But first, let's discuss what Predictive Technology Group does for those that aren't familiar with the company.

OTCMKTS:PRED Technicals

OTCMKTS:PRED faces immediate resistance at the $1.50 level. A push through there and next target is $2 a share. Above $2 and we expect to see a spike like last summer and hit new 52-week highs above $6.91 fairly quickly.On the downside, immediate support is at $.95 a share, followed by the $.70 level. We believe the lows are in as the bears had their opportunity to push the stock down and couldn't. The bulls did a lot of accumulation below the $.50 level. Most of these bulls are long-term holders and believers in OTCMKTS:PRED. OTCMKTS:PRED Daily Chart
