On January 28th there was a market correction, which also affected Amgen. Although the correction lasted a couple of days, the share price continued to fall until $232.10. From this point, the stock recovered 2.5% and remains at these levels; however, the recovery channel should continue as there are no clear retracement fundamentals. In terms of technical factors, we can see that the SMA and Williams R% favor a buy decision.
