NVAX is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($8.81) and 200-day ($8.35) moving averages. An RSI of 62.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +26.3% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 1.5%). The current 23.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
