- Price action honing in on likely support at $204.84
- Bollinger analysis indicates upper Band® is at $206.37
Stable at $205.55 and still trending upwards, Yesterday's session put the brakes on the ongoing uptrend — without a clear direction, Seagen closed at $205.55 while ranging between $205 and $206.38.
The stock has been trending positively for about 4 months. The biotechnology company has gained 59.97% since its lowest print of $108.81 earlier this year.
Chart analysis suggests Seattle Genetics Inc is approaching key support, around 71 cents away from $204.84. Dipping below could indicate further losses are ahead while a failure to break below this level is likely to be seen positively by market bulls. Trend and momentum analysis indicates that the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is above +100, meaning the market price is unusually high compared to the rolling average. Momentum evaluation shows that according to technical analysis of Seagen's Relative Strength Index (RSI), the market is currently overbought. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Seagen's upper Bollinger Band® is at $206.37, suggesting that a downward move may follow.
Notwithstanding Seagen's appreciation in recent days, the technical outlook suggests its bullish run is now fading.
