A quick look at yesterday: the Canadian cannabis producer found support around the 56 cents level, after closing Wednesday at 59.36 cents and dropping by 5.66% yesterday.
United States Pending Home Sales improved upon its previous reading of -5.2% with a new data release of 0%.
This down-slide takes place despite the positive US macroeconomics indicators data that was published earlier — data for United States GDP released yesterday at 12:30 UTC is better than expected with 1.3, but worse than previous figure of 2.6. United States Initial Jobless Claims beat the 250,000 projections, with 229,000.
The MACD index is indicating that momentum is shifting from bullish to bearish following a negative crossover. When the MACD falls below the signal line, it is typically considered to be a bearish development favoring short positions. Aurora Cannabis formed a session range of 55.15 cents to 59.99 cents leaving buyers and sellers highly concentrated around an active Fibonacci support level of 56.4 cents. In contrast, Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at 54.2184 cents, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that Aurora Cannabis is trading below its fair value. Although Aurora Cannabis is down today and was as low as 55.15 cents, it seems to be recovering slightly and climbing away from the 54.0967 cents support line and is now 2 cents above it.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems that although indicators are mixed and some are pointing in different directions further drawbacks may be next for Aurora Cannabis.
