Analysis of Sealed Air's recent price action suggests Sealed Air Corp could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 25 cents away from $37.81. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. Trend-focused traders would be interested to note that 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. Asset volatility analysis shows that Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $37.63, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that Sealed Air is trading below its fair value.
Overall, the technical outlook suggests Sealed Air is likely to remain muted for the immediate future, with no clear-cut direction.
