HCA Support and Resistance Levels

Price is being turned away at a ceiling near $421.86 and starting to slide. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $391.80 — about 2.2% away.

  • Traders commonly watch $391.80 as a target (its 61.8% retracement) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
  • That floor is the first place the slide might steady — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
  • There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $421.86 ceiling just now, when price was turned away there, but price has already pulled lower. What's left is the slide playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $387.63, resistance near $414.73. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
