123.6 is our pivot point.
Our preference
The downside prevails as long as 123.6 is resistance.
Alternative scenario
The upside breakout of 123.6 would call for 131 and 135.5.
Comment
The RSI is below 30. It could either mean that the stock is in a lasting downtrend or just oversold and therefore bound to retrace (look for bullish divergence in this case). The MACD is negative and below its signal line. The configuration is negative. Moreover, the stock is trading under both its 20 and 50 day moving average (respectively at 125.044 and 127.5804). Finally, Merck & Co is trading below its lower daily Bollinger band (standing at 117.21).
