Trading mostly sideways for a month. The past 6 months have been positive for the biotechnology company as it appreciated 65.78%, having traded as low as $117.37.
Trend analysis indicates that despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, Seattle Genetics Inc peaked above its 21 day Simple Moving Average around $195.62 — typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. Seagen is currently flirting with an active Fibonacci support level around $194.75. Asset volatility analysis shows that Seagen's upper Bollinger Band® is at $200.74 which indicates a further downward move may follow. Support/Resistance levels obtained from chart analysis indicate that Seagen could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 3 cents away from $194.72. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
With market volatility ebbing, the current technical outlook indicates Seagen will remain range-bound for the immediate future.
