Novavax Daily Chart Analysis

• Shares look to have fallen slightly below the support in what traders call a pennant pattern. If this support line begins to hold as resistance, the stock could be ready for a further bearish push.
• The stock trades below both the 50-day moving average (green) and the 200-day moving average (blue). This indicates the sentiment is bearish and each of these moving averages may hold as an area of resistance in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been falling the past few days and now sits at 42. This shows an increase in the number of sellers in the stock and shows sellers have overtaken control of the stock once again.
