MRK Support and Resistance Levels

Price is being turned away at a ceiling near $130.59 and starting to slide. On the weekly chart, the next floor below sits near $120.00 — about 6% away.

Traders commonly watch $120.00 as a target (its 23.6% 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 yet — the spot to watch is right at the $130.59 ceiling, where price is testing it now, not out here in the slide. Chasing once price pulls away tends to be worse odds.
