Danaher Corporation is set to decline as moving averages reverse trend
A study of the share price indicates that lower-term moving averages for 10 and 20 days sank below the 50-day since March. While the price seemed to find momentary support at $260, the continuation of the short-term decline is likely to see the stock falling further.
The potential downward trend is confirmed by the 14-day average of the RSI, which continues its downward trend uninhibited. This analysis considers the moving averages pattern as an early signal for a change in the price trend. Bears may take control in the coming days. At $299.66, the stock is most certainly a strong sell.
Summary
Danaher Corporation is a high-growth large capitalization firm. The company is expected to face a slowdown in revenues as coronavirus becomes endemic and testing falls. We think that the fair value is about $215, and investors should sell.
