Theriva Biologics Inc's stock fell by 5.07% as it crossed below its 5-day SMA, reflecting a challenging trading environment.
The decline in Theriva's stock price is attributed to sector rotation, as investors shifted their focus to other sectors despite the slight uptick in the S&P 500. This movement indicates a reallocation of capital away from biotech stocks, impacting Theriva's performance negatively.
Investors may need to reassess their positions in Theriva Biologics, especially in light of the current market dynamics that favor other sectors over biotech.
