Novo Nordisk Stock Strongly Bearish Ahead of Q4 Earnings

The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $85.04 and 20-day SMA of $83.69 both signal bearish conditions, indicating that Novo Nordisk stock has struggled to regain upward traction.

Additionally, the stock’s position well below its 50-day SMA of $94.26 and 200-day SMA of $120.12 reinforces the broader downtrend.

Momentum indicators further support the bearish outlook. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is at a negative 2.60, signaling continued weakness, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 41.89, hovering just above oversold territory.

Investors should monitor whether Novo Nordisk stock finds support at current levels or risks further downside. A sustained move above the 20-day SMA could hint at a potential trend reversal, while continued weakness may lead to further selling pressure.
