Seagen chart analysis: Seattle Genetics Inc is approaching key support, around 35 cents away from $204.65. 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-focused traders would be interested to note that Seagen made an initial breakout above its 10 day Simple Moving Average at $205.25, a potential indicator of a newly emerging bullish phase. According to momentum evaluation, the Relative Strength Index indicates Seagen is currently 'overbought' which suggests new gains will be harder to obtain. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Seagen's upper Bollinger Band® is at $208.45, suggesting that a downward move may follow.
Notwithstanding Seagen's appreciation in recent days, the technical outlook suggests its bullish run is now fading.
