Moderna Share Price Outlook

The Tuesday price candle bounced off the support provided by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level (traced from a swing low of 13 May to the 10 August swing high). This candle has met resistance at the 400.00 psychological resistance. Ahead, 412.32 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement level) and the 440.00 (5 August high) resistance. 

On the flip side, a decline below 361.52 allows 342.93 to become a new target. Below this level, 320.47 (27 July low and 50% Fibonacci retracement level) and 279.41 are additional targets to the south.
