Twist Bioscience reports that a smart drug can shrink tumors by 30%, according to The Guardian.

The drug works by stripping cancer cells of an 'invisibility cloak'. These findings come from a trial reported in The Guardian.

Highlights

  • TWST remains in an established uptrend, currently trading above key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages.
  • Indicators signal bullish momentum is moderating as overbought readings and profit-taking drive recent price pullback.
  • TWST is expected to consolidate between $66.00 and $72.00 this week, with downside risk limited by strong support levels.

Upward bias sustained as price holds above multi-timeframe supports

TWST is trading at $68.17, above the MA-20 ($62.17), MA-50 ($58.23), and MA-200 ($41.37), which indicates that the price remains in an upward structure across short, medium, and long-term trends. The Ichimoku Kijun is at $64.27, currently acting as immediate support, while near-term support is set by the MA-20 ($62.17) and key support by the MA-50 ($58.23); near-term resistance is found at the MA-10 ($69.37) and key resistance at the MA-5 ($71.12).

Profit-taking triggers pullback as bullish momentum shows early fatigue

MACD and ADX on D1 both point to ongoing bullish momentum, though HMA signals strong sell, suggesting short-term trend exhaustion. RSI and CCI indicate continued buying interest but BBP (Bull/Bear Power) is overbought at 5.99, signaling buyer dominance may be stretched and a potential for a pullback. Stoch RSI is neutral on D1 while being overbought on the weekly view, underscoring mixed momentum. In today's session, TWST has declined 2.69% as profit-taking weighs on price. Over the past week, the stock has slipped $1.05 (1.37%) from a previous close of $69.22. The price is now positioned at the very bottom of the weekly range, and weekly volatility stands at 21.18%. The tone for the week has been a steady retreat from the recent high, reflecting pressure after a period of strong gains.

Consolidation likely as technical signals favor stabilization over breakdown

For the upcoming week, the expected trading range is $66.00 to $72.00, adjusted to reflect the current price and recent weekly volatility. This keeps TWST well above its 52-week low of $23.30 but below the 52-week high of $80.50, anchoring it in the upper half of its yearly range. Based on W1 signals (RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50), there is a very high probability (more than 80%) of price stabilization or a move higher next week, with the likelihood of a meaningful decline being very low. The baseline scenario sees TWST consolidating between $66.00 and $72.00 as momentum resets after recent gains. A bullish move could develop if price clears $72.00, potentially re-testing higher resistance levels, while a break below $66.00 would open scope for a pullback towards the MA-20 and MA-50 support zone.
