Trend Downtrend in force

UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) is trading at $403.97. Over the last 125 sessions the trend is **down** with a +46.5% move.

Price is -7.4% from the 6-month high and +56.0% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~26%.

Price is below the 15-day MA ($418.67, -3.5%) and below the 50-day SMA ($412.73).

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $403.97, upper $437.03, middle $420.11, lower $403.20. 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 36.7. 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 $-1.88, signal $1.32, histogram -3.196.

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 0.89) 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 ($403.97) is +16.3% above the anchored VWAP ($347.43). 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 $403.97. Resistance above: $406.20, $414.16, $422.74. Support below: $403.20, $397.80.

Watch $406.20 as the first upside level to clear, and $403.20 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
