Novavax, Inc., a small-cap player in the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector, has recently undergone an evaluation revision reflecting its current market dynamics. The stock is currently priced at $7.44, down from a previous close of $7.59. Over the past year, Novavax has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week high of $11.55 and a low of $5.01.
The technical summary indicates mixed signals across various indicators. The MACD shows a mildly bearish trend on a weekly basis, while the monthly perspective leans mildly bullish. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) presents no clear signals for both weekly and monthly evaluations. Bollinger Bands and KST metrics indicate bearish tendencies, particularly on the weekly timeframe.
