Bearish structure holds as range stretches near oversold levels

The intraday range in the latest session widened well beyond the weekly average, between $4.43 and $4.6. Shares of Nuvation Bio remain locked below their MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, sustaining a bearish daily structure. With the current RSI at 33.9 nearing oversold territory, the decline is beginning to look stretched, hinting at potential near-term stabilization. The nearest resistance sits at the MA-20 level of $4.79.

Odds firmly favor downside as traders eye $4.79 resistance

To gauge whether the event gains traction, traders should monitor a potential close above $4.79. Price action in the latest session expanded into a broad intraday span from $4.43 to $4.6. Even with a sustained move higher and a firm trend over the past week, the outlook for the coming trading week suggests less than 20% upside probability and more than 80% downside probability, with an expected trading range between $4.34 and $4.83. A move above $4.79 would indicate buyers are stepping in, while a fall below $4.36 would suggest the move is being faded. On the weekly chart, the longer-term picture stays negative.

Earlier, analysts noted that Nuvation Bio’s technical structure had remained broadly constructive despite a lack of near-term market catalysts. The current expansion of its pivotal trial into major European markets adds strategic scope, with traders now focused on any decisive move beyond $4.79 as a signal for trend reversal.
