Technical Outlook for Virgin Galactic Stock Price

The stock is marginally lower for the 3rd day running and is gradually inching towards the support at 26.53, where the 200-day moving average is located. A breakdown of this level sends the stock towards the support at 23.79, with additional downside targets at the 20.00 psychological price level and the 14.99 pivot formed by recent lows in mid-May.
