Seattle Genetics Inc broke through the $193.28 resistance and climbed 82 cents above it. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is below -100, meaning the market price is unusually low and below its rolling moving average. Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Bollinger Band® analysis indicates that current price action is approaching the upper band at $200.29, thereby suggesting that Seagen is becoming overvalued. On the other hand, note that 'Bullish Harami' is a candlestick chart indicator used for detecting reversals in an existing bear trend. It is generally indicated by a small price increase that's contained within a broader downward price movement and is commonly associated with a bearish trend coming to an end.
Examining the technical analysis landscape, Seagen is likely to reverse course and start pointing downward in the short term.
