Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated Stock Forecast

Green day on Thursday for Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated
(Updated on Sep 12, 2024)

VRTX Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $481.12. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $472.92. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, September 06, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.28%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
