While AbbVie is stuck in a stagnating trend, Novartis appears to have a stronger bullish momentum. 
Let's break down the charts.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">AbbVie: Caught In Neutral Gear</h1>
AbbVie's technical setup presents mixed signals. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-758712" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131850/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.40.39-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
AbbVie stock is trading above its short-term moving averages, with the eight-day ($173.14) and 20-day ($175.20) SMAs (simple moving averages) flashing bullish indicators. However, longer-term trends tell a different story — AbbVie stock is aligned closely against its 50-day ($175.33) SMA and below its 200-day ($178.77) SMA, suggesting lingering downside pressure. The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator at a negative 0.89 reinforces this bearish bias, while the RSI (relative strength index) at 50.39 indicates neutral momentum.
Overall, AbbVie is struggling for direction, with slight selling pressure keeping a lid on any breakout potential. A strong earnings beat could push the stock past key resistance levels, but the current setup suggests AbbVie is vulnerable to further consolidation.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Novartis: Riding A Bullish Wave</h1>
Novartis, on the other hand, is trending decisively higher. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="626" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-758716" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" /></a></figure>
Novartis is trading above its short-term and mid-range moving averages, with the eight-day ($101.27), 20-day ($99.57), and 50-day ($100.44) SMAs all acting as support. The MACD at 0.68 points to bullish momentum, while the RSI at 63.61 shows strength without being overbought.
However, the stock remains below its 200-day SMA ($106.77), leaving some room for caution.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Implications</h1>
Heading into earnings, Novartis holds the technical advantage, displaying a stronger bullish structure and upward momentum. AbbVie, meanwhile, remains stuck in a range, needing a catalyst to break higher. 
Investors should watch key resistance levels — AbbVie above $177 and Novartis above $106 — for signs of further movement post-earnings.

AbbVie Vs. Novartis: Which Has The Technical Edge Before Q4 Earnings?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's pick for health secretary, addressed a wide range of medical-related topics on Wednesday during a confirmation hearing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43306674/trumps-hhs-pick-robert-kennedy-jr-begins-senate-confirmation-hearings">the Senate Finance Committee.</a>
While Kennedy&#8217;s tone in each back-and-forth varied, depending on the senator, it was evident that Kennedy&#8217;s role in the new administration would have a tremendous impact on both pharma and insurance stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Drug Price Negotiation</h3>
During one exchange about the high cost of drugs with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Kennedy said: "Senator, my understanding is that the White House issued an executive order, I believe today, supporting the drug negotiations under the I.R.A. President Trump was very aggressive during his first term about negotiating drug prices."
In reality, Trump has not signed an executive order on the topic since he was sworn into office. A Wednesday news <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cms-statement-lowering-cost-prescription-drugs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release</a> from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that lowering the cost of prescription drugs for Americans &#8220;a top priority&#8221; for the Trump administration and that he would work to improve the transparency of the negotiation process.
Perhaps Kennedy was recalling Trump&#8217;s first term. In 2020, then-45th President Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/20/09/17482940/trump-signs-executive-order-to-lower-us-drug-prices-after-negotiations-with-drugmakers-fail">signed an executive order</a> on U.S. Medicare drug prices intending to reduce costs. Industry leaders, including Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla, criticized the move. Pfizer was seeking regulatory approval to expand its late-stage vaccine trial at the time.
If Trump signs such an order, it would be a rare show of support from his camp for a Biden-era initiative. In addition to Pfizer, it would also impact major companies like Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), Novartis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) and AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>).
Last month, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43062779/popular-ozempic-wegovy-selected-for-next-round-of-medicare-drug-price-negotiations">identified the next 15 drugs</a> as subject to negotiation. The list included Ozempic and Wegovy — two expensive drugs for diabetes and obesity owned by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurance Providers</h3>
According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/29/us/rfk-jr-health-senate-hearing">New York Times</a>, Kennedy wasn&#8217;t exactly familiar with Medicare and Medicaid, but expressed support for Medicare Advantage, where private insurers provide coverage for elderly Americans.
Kennedy also called out what he considered to be &#8220;rapacious behavior by insurance companies." He even suggested he would support some of the efforts undertaken during the Biden administration to crack down on abusive tactics like denying care and overcharging the government.
Traders would be wise to keep an eye on how insurance stocks — especially those tied to Medicaid and Medicare providers — react if Kennedy is sworn in. The major players in this space include: 
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), the largest Medicare Advantage insurer in the U.S.; Centene Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>); Elevance Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>), one of the largest Medicaid managed care organizations; Humana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>); CVS Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>); Molina Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>); and Cigna (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>).
What&#8217;s Next: Kennedy seeks to be Secretary of Health and Human Services — a position that would put him in charge of the health of the American people.
The title also puts him in charge of the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He will appear before the Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions on Thursday.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On AbbVie Through 15 Analysts

Citigroup analyst Geoff Meacham maintains AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $215 to $205.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on AbbVie, Lowers Price Target to $205

AbbVie Inc.

Wall Street estimates adjusted EPS of $2.10 and quarterly sales of $14.83 billion, as per data from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Goldman Sachs sees AbbVie shares as &#8220;attractive at current levels&#8221; but notes that a high-profile catalyst is needed to reignite investor interest after the disappointing results of emraclidine&#8217;s two <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41915173/abbvies-schizophrenia-failure-disappoints-but-analysts-show-confidence-in-immunology-portfolio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">failed Phase 2 trials</a>.

Despite this, the company sees potential in exploring emraclidine as an adjunctive treatment, given its favorable tolerability profile. However, accounting rules required AbbVie to record an impairment charge of about $3.5 billion. 
Wall Street analysts have removed potential revenue from emraclidine in forecasts, viewing any future progress as a bonus—assuming the costs of continuing development are reasonable compared to other investment options.
The company has demonstrated strong execution in its core immunology business, effectively managing Humira&#8217;s loss of exclusivity (LOE) in 2023. Despite a 10% decline in 2023, the franchise is expected to recover, with a 2% overall growth projection for 2024 and stable U.S. performance. 
Growth is forecasted to accelerate to 7% in 2025, with double-digit expansion of 10-11% expected in 2026 and 2027.
Goldman Sachs raised the price forecast from $205 to $208, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Buy rating</a>, reflecting confidence in the upside potential from key Immunology growth drivers, Skyrizi/Rinvoq.
Goldman Sachs writes the key updates are focused on the revenue outlook for major immunology products. For 2025 and 2026, analyst Chris Shibutani has increased Skyrizi forecasts by 1.4% and 3.1%, respectively, driven by strong performance and potential in treating inflammatory bowel diseases. 
Rinvoq forecasts also see a slight boost of 0.4% for both years. The analyst is closely watching Phase 3 trial results for additional uses, such as alopecia areata and vitiligo, expected in 2025 to guide long-term growth projections.
Price Action: ABBV stock is up 3.5% at $176.32 at last check Monday.

That's President-elect Donald Trump's problem now. 
According to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-trump-executive-order-1e95d9836bf6f8c0c245ed1c3234d968">Associated Press</a>, Biden has no intention of enforcing the ban, which takes effect on his last full day in office, Jan. 19, and one day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42995328/trump-inauguration-from-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-to-barack-obama-george-bush-and-bill-clinton-who-all-will-attend">before Trump&#8217;s inauguration</a>.
With a deadline looming, the app's fate lands in the hands of the so-called People's Bid for TikTok—backed by none other than Kevin O'Leary of &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; and billionaire Frank McCourt. Apparently, TikTok's U.S. assets are still up for grabs, but no word yet on the price tag or whether a deal can realistically get done <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">in a few days</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Joann Inc. is stitching together a bankruptcy plan for the second time within 12 months. The Ohio-based fabric and crafts retailer is seeking a buyer for its portfolio of some 800 stores. 
Gordon Brothers Retail Partners emerged as the &#8220;stalking horse&#8221; bidder, but Joann remains hopeful for better offers—perhaps from someone who knows how to thread the needle.
Previously, the 82-year-old retailer was under the stewardship of private equity firm Leonard Green &amp; Partners, which acquired it via a $1.6 billion leveraged buyout in 2011. The firm buried the company under a pile of debt (<a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/03/18/brick-and-mortar-meltdown-fells-another-retailer-joann-inc-files-for-bankruptcy-3-years-after-ipo/">reportedly</a> $921 million in long-term debt as of Oct. 31, 2020) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/03/20048728/ipo-preview-roblox-coupang-joann-lead-busy-week-of-offerings">sent it public in 2021</a>. 
Joann went private again in <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joann-bankruptcy-chapter-11-filing-75093d4032907c59a45e472dd4e23229">March</a> 2024 while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company managed to reduce its $1 billion total debt by about $500 million at the time.
Despite efforts to save itself last year, Joann is joining the growing quilt of recent retail casualties: Party City, Big Lots, LL Flooring, The Body Shop and The Container Store <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42710619/deal-dispatch-party-city-wraps-big-lots-goes-bust-container-store-continues">to name a few</a>.

Deal Dispatch: Biden Punts TikTok Ban To Trump, Plus Another Legacy Retailer Goes Bankrupt

On Friday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled the selection of 15 additional drugs covered under Medicare Part D for price negotiations, building on efforts to reduce <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40534249/novo-nordisks-ozempic-might-be-among-2027-medicare-price-negotiation-targets" rel="noreferrer noopener">prescription drug costs</a>.
These negotiations, mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act, will take place in 2025, with the new prices slated to take effect in 2027.
The selected drugs, used to treat conditions like cancer, diabetes, and asthma, represented approximately $41 billion in Medicare Part D costs between November 2023 and October 2024, accounting for 14% of the program's total expenses.
Under the finalized <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/hhs-announces-15-additional-drugs-selected-medicare-drug-price-negotiations-continued-effort-lower" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidance</a> for the second negotiation cycle, drug manufacturers have until February 28, 2025, to decide on their participation.
The selected drug list for the second cycle of negotiations is:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Novo Nordisk's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) diabetes and weight loss drugs, Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy.</li>
<li>Pfizer Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) Ibrance for breast cancer and Xtandi for prostate cancer.</li>
<li>GSK Plc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treatment Trelegy Ellipta and Breo Ellipta.</li>
<li>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) Huntington's disease and Tardive dyskinesia drug Austedo, Austedo XR.</li>
<li>Abbvie Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) irritable bowel syndrome treatment Linzess and depression drug Vraylar.</li>
<li>Bristol-Myers Squibb Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Pomalyst for a type of blood cancer.</li>
<li>Boehringer Ingelheim's lung disease drug Ofev and diabetes med Tradjenta.</li>
<li>AstraZeneca Plc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) cancer drug Calquence</li>
<li>Salix Pharmaceuticals' irritable bowel syndrome drug Xifaxan</li>
<li>Merck &amp; Co Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) diabetes drug Janumet; Janumet XR.</li>
<li>Amgen Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>) psoriasis drug Otezla</li>
</ul>
CMS will evaluate factors such as the drug's clinical benefit, its role in addressing unmet medical needs, and its impact on specific populations, alongside considerations for research, production, and distribution costs.
The first negotiation cycle in 2023 resulted in agreements for price reductions on 10 drugs, with discounts ranging from 38% to 79% off list prices.
The new prices, effective January 2026, are expected to save $6 billion in prescription drug costs annually and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare beneficiaries by an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41166018/medicare-drug-price-negotiation-program-gets-final-guidance-for-second-cycle-1-5b-savings-expecte" rel="noreferrer noopener">estimated $1.5 billion</a>.
Looking ahead, CMS plans to expand the program, selecting up to 15 additional drugs for the third cycle and 20 more in subsequent cycles. The Inflation Reduction Act also introduces an out-of-pocket cap of $2,000 for Medicare Part D enrollees starting in 2025. Approximately 11 million beneficiaries are expected to benefit from the cap, saving a projected $7.2 billion annually.

On Monday, Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) agreed to acquire Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITCI#NASDAQ">ITCI</a>) for $132.00 per share in cash for a total equity value of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42940221/johnson-johnson-strengthens-neuroscience-leadership-with-acquisition-of-intra-cellular-therapies-i" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $14.6 billion</a>.
Intra-Cellular Therapies is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

With this agreement, Johnson &amp; Johnson adds Intra-Cellular Therapies&#8217; Caplyta&nbsp;(lumateperone), a once-daily oral therapy approved to treat adults with schizophrenia, as well as depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression), as a monotherapy and adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate.
The acquisition also includes ITI-1284, a promising Phase 2 compound being studied in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease-related psychosis and agitation, as well as a clinical-stage pipeline that further complements and strengthens Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s current areas of focus.
In December 2024, Intra-Cellular Therapies submitted a marketing application to the FDA for Caplyta&nbsp;as an adjunctive treatment for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).
In two global Phase 3 studies, Caplyta, as an adjunctive treatment to antidepressants, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in depressive symptoms, as measured by both clinician-rated and patient-reported outcomes.
If approved, Caplyta&nbsp;has the potential to be the first treatment approved for MDD and depressive symptoms associated with bipolar I and II in more than 15 years.
Additional Phase 3 trials are underway with Caplyta in bipolar I disorder with manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features (bipolar mania).
Johnson &amp; Johnson expects to fund the transaction through cash on hand and debt.

In November, AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) released data from its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41881546/abbvie-9billion-schizophrenia-studies-bristol-myers-stock-surges" rel="noreferrer noopener">emraclidine for schizophrenia</a>.
The patients experienced an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
AbbVie added emraclidine via the approximately $8.7 billion acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics.
Price Action: JNJ stock is up 0.86% at $143.28, and ITCI stock is up 34.5% at $127.62 at the last check on Monday.

애브비(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>)와 노바티스 AG(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>)가 금요일 시장 개장 전 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4분기 실적</a>을 발표할 준비를 하면서 투자자들은 두 제약 대기업 주가의 기술적 분석에 주목하고 있다.
애브비는 정체된 추세에 갇혀 있는 반면, 노바티스는 더 강한 상승 모멘텀을 보이고 있다.
차트를 분석해 보겠다.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">애브비: 중립 상태에 갇힘</h1>
애브비의 기술적 구성은 혼재된 신호를 나타다.

<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">차트는 Benzinga Pro를 사용하여 생성되었습니다.</a>
애브비 주식은 단기 이동 평균선 위에서 거래되고 있으며, 8일 ($173.14) 및 20일 ($175.20) 단순 이동 평균(SMA)이 상승 신호를 보이고 있다. 그러나 장기 추세는 다른 이야기를 하고 있다. 애브비 주식은 50일 ($175.33) SMA와 밀접하게 정렬되어 있고 200일 ($178.77) SMA 아래에 있어 하방 압박이 지속되고 있음을 나타낸다. 이동 평균 수렴 발산(MACD) 지표가 -0.89로 음수를 나타내면서 이 약세 편향을 강화하고, 상대 강도 지수(RSI)가 50.39로 중립적 모멘텀을 시사한다.
전반적으로 애브비는 방향을 잡기 위해 고군분투하고 있으며, 약간의 매도 압박이 돌파 가능성을 억제하고 있다. 강력한 실적이 예상된다면 주가는 주요 저항선 수준을 넘어설 수 있지만, 현재 상황은 애브비가 추가적인 보합에 취약하다는 것을 시사한다.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">노바티스: 상승 모멘텀을 타고 상승 중</h1>
반면, 노바티스는 확실히 상승하고 있다.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent013025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-758716" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png" sizes="(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM.png 626w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/30131921/Screenshot-2025-01-30-at-11.49.01-PM-300x235.png 300w" alt="" width="626" height="490" /></a></figure>
노바티스는 단기 및 중기 이동 평균선 위에서 거래되고 있으며, 8일 ($101.27), 20일 ($99.57) 및 50일 ($100.44) SMA가 모두 지지 역할을 하고 있다. MACD가 0.68로 상승 모멘텀을 나타내고, RSI가 63.61로 과매수 되지 않은 강세를 보여준다.
그러나 주가는 200일 SMA ($106.77) 아래에 있어 주의가 필요하다.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">투자자에게 주는 시사점</h1>
실적 발표를 앞두고 노바티스는 기술적 우위를 보유하고 있으며, 더 강한 상승 구조와 상승 모멘텀을 보여준다. 반면 애브비는 범위에 갇혀 있으며 상승을 위한 촉매가 필요하다.
투자자들은 중요한 저항선 수준을 주의 깊게 지켜봐야 한다. 애브비는 $177 이상, 노바티스는 $106 이상에서 실적 발표 후 추가 움직임의 징후를 확인해야 한다.
