GeneDx Holdings Corp's stock fell by 6.88% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA, reflecting a challenging trading environment. Amid a broader market downturn, with the Nasdaq-100 down 2.17% and the S&P 500 down 2.09%, GeneDx's decline appears to be part of a sector rotation rather than a specific company issue. The overall market sentiment has shifted negatively, impacting many stocks in the biotech sector.
