Trend Downtrend in force

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) is trading at $402.37. Over the last 125 sessions the trend is **down** with a +39.2% move.

Price is -7.8% from the 6-month high and +55.3% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~24%.

Price is below the 15-day MA ($411.17, -2.1%) and below the 50-day SMA ($415.20).

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $402.37, upper $435.51, middle $415.05, lower $394.60. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

Bandwidth is 9.9% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 39.2. 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 $-4.01, signal $-1.79, histogram -2.226.

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 1.06) 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 ($402.37) is +14.3% above the anchored VWAP ($351.92). 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 / 2 support levels

Current price $402.37. Resistance above: $410.64, $416.00, $422.74. Support below: $400.00, $394.60.

Watch $410.64 as the first upside level to clear, and $400.00 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
