Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Vaxcyte, Inc. stock
Vaxcyte, Inc. finds support from accumulated volume at $75.11 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $4.65 between high and low, or 6.53%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.58%.
The Vaxcyte, Inc. stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $72.98 (-3.28%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 86 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 15 days ago.)
