Though in the midst of a 14 day uptrend, gaining a total of 11.08%, ($2.22), Yesterday's session suggests run might be coming to an end — the kidney dialysis specialist has recovered almost all of its session losses after dipping down to $21.22 yesterday.
Amid the market gloom, United States JOLTs Job Openings (Feb) released yesterday at 14:00 UTC with a figure of 9.93 million, while the previous figure was 10.56 million.

Despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA peaked above its 3 day Simple Moving Average around $21.3 — typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. Fresenius Medical Care could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 33 cents away from $21.13. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. Despite this, Fresenius Medical Care's upper Bollinger Band® is at $21.83 which indicates a further downward move may follow.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, although technical indicators are mixed and pointing in different directions, it seems Fresenius Medical Care is set to appreciate despite today's setback.
