For Seventrader (m)an assessment of Merck from a trader's perspective

$MRK (-4.98%)
@7Trader My assessment for Sunday 😉


As a trader, there is currently no clear trend for me, so I would not consider Merck for a trade at the moment.


Why "in a nutshell"?


  • The current price is in a "low volume zone" (white arrow on the left), i.e. even a small volume can have a strong influence on the price - both negative and positive.


  • The price is approximately in the middle of standard deviation 1 and 2 of the VWAP


  • The next zone with high "volume on price" is significantly lower - up to the volume peak -11%.5 (white parallel channel)


  • The current trend after SMA is negative


Taking all these points into account, I currently see more risk of prices falling further than opportunities for prices to rise.


As I said, chart analysis does not provide 100% certainty, it is more about recognizing the opportunities and risks and then entering a trade or not depending on the risk appetite 🤷‍♂️

PS: I have not looked at the fundamental figures at all, this is a purely technical chart analysis.

I now hold 100 shares, but if they fall another 11%, that would be such a juicy dividend for such a pharma giant that I would double my position.

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer and presentation. Merck & Co remains high on my watch list, but waiting a little won't be a mistake.
