WEEKLY TREND: UP
Fundamental Overview:
- MODERNA RECENT PRICE ACTION: Moderna has lost around 35% over the past month, to test its lowest rate in two and a half months ($296.20). Moderna came under pressure after another company (Merck) released positive data for its pill treatment tests against COVID-19 virus, which looked like a competition to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines.
- EVENTS TO WATCH:
- U.S. FDA FULL APPROVAL: The US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is expected soon (Q4) to grant Moderna a full approval to its COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. It is currently used under Emergency Use Authorization.
- U.S. FDA BOOSTER SHOT APPROVAL: U.S. regulators are expected to decide at a later date on widespread boosters for COVID vaccines by Moderna. Moderna submitted data to the FDA seeking evaluation for its booster shot on September 1.
- COVID-19 VACCINE SALES TO STAY STRONG: Moderna is still expected to rake in around 20 billion dollars of revenue in 2021, and similar numbers in 2022. Just recently they said that made a deal with Peru to supply them with 20 million doses.
- IMMUNITY FROM VACCINE WANES WITH TIME: According to Pfizer and Moderna researches, the immunity after the second dose wanes within a few months, which means that vaccination process should roll over in order to keep the pandemic under control. Therefore, Moderna could be still expected to sell COVID-19 vaccines and to make money from it. In addition, the COVID-19 vaccine is still the best weapon to the fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
Technical Overview:
- LONG TERM UPTREND: Despite the most recent sell-off, Moderna managed to stay above its long term uptrend lines. This could suggest an upward recovery as long as it stays above the two uptrend (black and orange) lines.
- 14-DAY RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI): The 14-Day RSI has fallen below the oversold threshold of 30. This might signal a potential upward correction.
- RESISTANCE AND SUPPORT LEVELS: If Moderna manages to stay above the uptrend lines and speculators gather up to trade on 14-Day RSI oversold signal, then it might be expected the prices to start recovering, targeting Resistance 1 of 340. If, however, the prices fail to stay above the uptrend lines, then it might be expected Moderna to continue falling and target Support 1 of 250.
