AbbVie announced that the European Commission has approved its treatment for active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients two years of age and older who have not responded adequately to DMARDs. A new oral solution of RINVOQ was approved for use in pediatric pJIA patients, PR Newswire reported. The approval is based on efficacy and safety results from the SELECT-YOUTH Phase 1 study, according to BioPharmaWatch.

Stock holds bullish structure as overbought readings limit upside

AbbVie stock opened the session with a gap down from $264.53 to $261.58. Price remains above its MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, keeping the daily structure bullish overall. The nearest support is the weekly low at $260.98, and with Stoch RSI in overbought territory, there is limited room for further upside.

High probability favors upside as traders watch $266.46 close

A close above $266.46 would indicate buyers are prepared to push price higher, while a drop below $260.98 would suggest the move is being faded. After opening lower at $261.58 from the previous close of $264.53, shares have partially recovered some ground. Over the next five trading days, the probability of an upside move is more than 80%, while the downside probability is less than 20%, with an expected trading range of $260 to $264.91. The recent move has been contained within a narrow range, but the longer-term weekly chart remains firmly constructive.

Previously it was reported that analysts viewed AbbVie’s ongoing partnerships and innovation pipeline as supporting a consolidation phase just below recent highs. The latest European Commission approval for pediatric arthritis treatment adds further clinical momentum to the bullish technical structure, with the key level to watch now at the recent gap-fill area near $264.
