Trend Range-bound / consolidating

IQV (IQV) is trading at $258.21. Over the last 127 sessions the trend is **flat** with a +51.2% move.

Price is -6.1% from the 6-month high and +64.8% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~23%.

Price is below the 15-day MA ($267.57, -3.5%) and above the 50-day SMA ($254.80).

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $258.21, upper $276.49, middle $265.72, lower $254.95. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

Bandwidth is 8.1% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 30.4. Momentum has faded; the bullish case needs rebuilding.

Generally: above 70 = overheated, above 50 = bullish trend, below 50 = bearish trend, below 30 = oversold.

MACD (12, 26, 9) Bearish — momentum slowing

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $2.52, signal $5.00, histogram -2.473.

The fast line has crossed below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Price may still be rising overall, but momentum is weakening — often seen before a correction, a sideways consolidation, or a final push higher.

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 0.97) over the recent 19 sessions — no strong conviction either way.

Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.

Smart Money (A/D) Smart money distributing

The A/D line is falling and well off highs. If smart money were exiting you would expect lower highs and volume spikes on down days — distribution pressure is building.

A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.

Anchored VWAP Above anchored VWAP — period buyers in profit

Price ($258.21) is +24.0% above the anchored VWAP ($208.19). Buyers who entered at the period's volume-weighted average are in profit and less likely to panic-sell.

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.

Key Levels 3 resistance / 3 support levels

Current price $258.21. Resistance above: $261.87, $265.25, $269.45. Support below: $256.02, $252.53, $233.76.

Watch $261.87 as the first upside level to clear, and $256.02 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
