DENVER, Colo., Feb 21, 2024 (www.247marketnews.com)- Iovance Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: IOVA ) continues to press forward on the strength of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approving its AMTAGVI (lifileucel) suspension for intravenous infusion, on Friday afternoon, which we covered when IOVA is trading at $9.6056.
IOVA is trading at $14.59, up $2.56 (+21.28%), on trading volume of 25.6M shares and this morning it hit a high of $15.025.
Its 52-week range is now $3.21 to $15.025, after hitting new 52-week highs Friday afternoon, yesterday, and today. IOVA looks like it wants to take a shot of its April 2022 levels, but will need this strong volume to continue.
