CVS Corp (CVS.US) Close: 73.72

The healthcare company CVS Corporation has recently broken down from a rising trend channel and has given a sell signal from a double top formation. The stock price also broke below its earlier support of 74.70 dollars. This level should now act as a short term resistance.
Next level of support is nowhere near before 68.70 dollars or equivalent to 6.8 % lower than its last closing price. Hence a good risk-reward ratio.
The volume balance indicator is very negative which indicates that prices have fallen on high volume but react upwards on a low volume. This supports the sinking price. The stock is overall assessed as technically negative for the short term.
CVS Corporation has a monthly average volatility of 11.09 percent and has a turnover of over 600 million USD.
