The technical indicators and recent price performance suggest a neutral to bearish trend, while the financial performance and insider activity raise concerns. Analysts have mixed views, with recent downgrades and limited near-term catalysts. While the company has long-term potential in oncology, the lack of immediate growth drivers and negative sentiment from insider sales make it prudent to hold off on investing right now.
The MACD is negatively expanding (-1.186), RSI is neutral at 35.321, and moving averages are converging, indicating no strong trend. The stock is trading near its support level (S1: 105.925), with resistance at 110.336. Overall, the technical indicators suggest a neutral to bearish trend.
