Universal Health Services Inc (UHS) is not an optimal buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this moment. While the company has shown strong financial performance in its latest quarter and has a bullish technical trend, the overbought RSI, insider selling, and mixed analyst sentiment suggest caution. Additionally, there are no strong proprietary trading signals or significant positive catalysts to justify immediate action.
The stock is in a bullish trend with MACD positively expanding and moving averages showing upward momentum (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). However, RSI is at 83.596, indicating the stock is overbought. Key resistance levels are at R1: 236.262 and R2: 247.253, while support levels are at S1: 200.683 and S2: 189.692.
