UNH : Are Bad Days Over ? (Cautious)UNH shares have moved above the 50-period moving average but are trading below the 200-period moving average. For now, since the 200-period moving average is very high, a small trade can be tried by keeping the stop-loss level a little tight. A few weak movements may pull the average down and the price may break the average. Therefore, small position sizes are ideal. NOTE : If we can maintain persistence on 376(Which will take a few days), then we will look at the other gaps. Risk/Reward Ratio : 2.39 Stop-Loss : 274.99 Take- Profit Level : 376.38 Regards.

UnitedHealth (UNH) Shares Plunge Following Earnings ReportUnitedHealth (UNH) Shares Plunge Following Earnings Report Yesterday, prior to the opening of the main trading session, UnitedHealth released its quarterly results along with forward guidance. As a result, UNH shares dropped by over 7%, signalling deep disappointment among market participants. According to media reports: → Earnings per share came in at $4.08, missing analysts’ expectations of $4.48. → Revenue guidance was set at $445.5–448 billion, falling short of the anticipated $449.07 billion. → Concerns were further fuelled by rising costs and declining profitability, which the company attributed to the continued impact of Medicare funding cuts. Consequently, the UNH share price dropped to its lowest level of 2025, last seen on 15 May. Technical Analysis of UNH Stock Chart In our end-of-May analysis, we updated the descending channel on the UNH stock chart and highlighted that following the recovery from the May low (marked by arrow 1), sellers could regain control. Since then: → Throughout June, the share price exhibited signs of supply-demand equilibrium around the psychological $300 level. → However, after an unsuccessful rally that formed peak A (which now resembles a bull trap), the balance shifted in favour of the bears. The price began to slide lower along the median line of the descending channel (illustrated by arrow 2). This pattern was a red flag, particularly against the backdrop of a broadly rising equity market since the beginning of summer. Even if the bulls had hope, yesterday's candle could have completely extinguished it: → The session opened with a wide bearish gap. → During the day, bulls attempted a recovery, but failed — the candlestick closed at the daily low, leaving a long upper wick, a classic sign of selling pressure. In this context, we could assume that: → Bears may seek to extend their advantage and test the year’s low; → The bearish gap area (highlighted in purple), reinforced by the descending channel’s median line, could act as resistance during any potential recovery. At the same time, the $250 psychological level appears to be a strong support zone. This is backed by the 15 May bullish pin bar formed on record trading volumes — a potential sign of institutional interest in accumulating shares of this healthcare giant in anticipation of a long-term recovery.

My UNH Thesis: Betting on a Healthcare Giant's Come BackThe healthcare sector has been in decline, which creates interesting opportunities. I recently talked about a few pharma plays - Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer. Here's why I'm investing in NYSE:UNH : UnitedHealth Group (UNH) has tanked ~50% in the past year, but the July 29 (VERY SOON) earnings could flip the script. As a historically dominant player, UNH is now undervalued amid sector weakness, offering massive upside if regulatory fears ease. Here's my full bull case. 👇 FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS Why the Sell-Off? A Perfect Storm of Bad News UNH crushed the market for 15 straight years (2009-2023) with positive returns, predictable EPS growth, and 134% gains over the last decade. But 2024 brought chaos: Feb: Massive cyber attack caused a one-time EPS hit (non-recurring). Ongoing: DOJ antitrust probe, criminal fraud investigation, rising Medicare costs, and Optum losses. April: Disastrous Q1 earnings miss + lowered guidance. Leadership drama: CEO death. This erased gains (down 7% over 5 years), amplified by healthcare sector outflows—the biggest since 2020. But is this overblown? Signs point to yes. The markets almost always overreact to bad news. Bullish Signals: Insiders Betting Big The tide is turning: Insider Buying Boom: $32M+ in 2024 (vs. $6.6M in 2019), including new CEO/CFO—highest in 15 years. Congress Buying: Q2 2024 saw net purchases for the first time in 5 years (vs. historical selling). DOJ Shift: Probe refocusing on pharmacy benefits (PBM) unit, dropping acquisition/monopoly scrutiny—implies no major findings. Great news! Sector Tailwinds: Healthcare is one of 3 S&P sectors below historical valuations. Super investors (usually tech-obsessed) are piling in, despite the sector's -10% YTD vs. S&P's +13%. Plus, UNH's dividend yield is at a record ~3% (vs. 1.5% avg), with 16%+ historical growth and 100%+ free cash flow conversion. Rare combo of yield + growth! Valuation: Screaming Buy? UNH trades at PE ~11.9 (vs. 10-year avg 23)—a steal. Analysts project 16.7% EPS CAGR through 2029. Conservative Scenario: 16.5% EPS growth + PE to 16.5 = $780/share by 2030 (173% total return, 18% CAGR ex-dividends). Optimistic: PE back to 23 = $1,084/share (280% return). Models confirm: DCF (8% FCF growth): ~$484/share (70% upside). DDM (7% div growth): ~$607/share (112% upside). Blended Fair Value: ~$545/share (75-90% upside from ~$300). Buy below $436 for 20% safety margin. Still, there is fear of DOJ uncertainty—investors hate unpredictability and that's why the stock is so low. Key Catalyst: July 29 Earnings This could be UNH's "most important report ever." Watch for: Regulatory/legal updates (DOJ progress). Full-year guidance revisions. Metrics like medical loss ratio and PBM performance. Positive news = potential rocket 🚀. Expectations are low (20 bearish EPS revisions vs. 0 bullish), so a beat could spark volatility... upward. Risks: Not Without Bumps Regulatory escalation (e.g., PBM issues) could tank it further. Short-term headwinds: Medicare costs, sector selling. Mitigants: DOJ de-risking, strong FCF buffer, insider confidence. Enter cautiously—size positions small. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS I also did a little technical analysis: UNH price is at a resistance level My EVaR indicator tells me we are in a low-risk area RSI says the stock is oversold I added the different price targets for better visualization THE PLAN My plan: Later today, I will allocate 1% to 1.5% of my portfolio to the stock. If it drops, I will continue to DCA. The stock is already really beaten down, and I think a company this large cannot drop much more. Quick note: I'm just sharing my journey - not financial advice! 😊

$UNH – Macro Outlook UpdateBack in April, I suggested the long-term uptrend from 2008 may have topped, shifting into a multi-year correction toward the 260–150 support zone. The decline unfolded faster than expected, with news-driven selling hitting the upper edge of that macro support — followed by a strong rebound. Apr mind tradingview.sweetlogin.com Currently, price is consolidating constructively. As long as 282 holds, I favor a continuation higher into the 360–430 resistance zone where we’ll reassess the broader structure.

UNH How Far Down Are We Going $32 ? Based on the current class action lawsuit sentiment is negative and if it continues we can see levels of 258 being hit again. However if we break that level down then 163-150 level can possibly get hit followed by the 32-49 dollar range. However despite all the negative news which does affect the market, if for whatever reasons we can break the high of 326 be prepared for a run up to 535 low probability but it is possible.

$UNH contrarian idea ..Hello, this seems to be the "BUY THE DIP!" name definitely on the retail side. A guy once told me, if everyone is talking about getting into something, buying something, it might be a good time to sell and get out of that something. Example: I have been buying Bitcoin for five years, the price has risen and now everybody is talking about Bitcoin, that might be a clear indicator to sell some of that position and take profits; contrarian. So, something is telling me this name isn't ready to just ride to the upside like everybody is imagining. A big zone is down around $200, a 7 year demand. This name is in turmoil, randomness happens. I believe the name would have kept going down if the insider buy did not come in and bring some momentum. I can see this name retracing back to $275 and below. Will be interesting to see. On watch is $275p 6/20. WSL

UNH: Why I Believe This Is a Dead Cat Bounce(Late posting)We’ve seen a quite the abounce in the market as of lately, but I believe it’s not a real recovery. To me, this looks like a classic dead cat bounce; a quick move up that happens during a downtrend before prices drop again. I’ll explain why I think this is the case, kind of a simple one. First of all, the grand picture in the economy still looks fairly negative, especially respecting the TRUMP TARIFF new. Inflation hasn’t fully gone away, interest rates are still high, and consumer confidence is weak. There’s no major change in the news or the fundamentals that would support a strong comeback. It feels like people are just hoping things will improve, but the facts don’t really support that yet. Second, the volume on this bounce has been low. In trading, volume tells you how strong a move is. If the price goes up but not many people are trading, it usually means there’s not much real buying happening. This bounce seems to be driven more by short sellers covering their positions, not by confident investors jumping in. Third, we’re hitting key resistance levels—areas where the price dropped before—and we’re starting to see signs of rejection again. These levels are often hard to break through unless the market has strong momentum, and right now it doesn’t look like that’s the case. Fourth, if you look at indicators like the RSI and MACD, they show that the price is already overbought. That means the recent move up may have gone too far, too fast. These kinds of readings usually lead to a pullback, especially when the bigger trend is still down. Finally, the overall structure of the chart hasn’t changed. We’re still making lower highs and lower lows, which is what a downtrend looks like. Just because we’ve had a few green candles doesn’t mean the trend has reversed. Until we see the market start building a base and making new highs with strong support, I don’t think this bounce will last. I n my opinion, this is one of those moments where people might get too excited too quickly. A lot of traders jump in thinking the bottom is in, only to get caught when the price turns back down. That’s why I’m staying cautious and watching for signs that the bounce is failing. I could be wrong, but right now, this feels more like a trap than a turning point.

$UNH still looks very uglyI'm still bearish on NYSE:UNH until 335-340 area gets taken out. The chart is so ugly. We've seen many "too big to fail" companies die out eventually. Will NYSE:UNH survive all this bad publicity? Insider action, options flow suggest this isn't going "parabolic" anytime soon lol sorry bulls The technicals just don't align YET to the upside. This is still so far from major moving averages on the higher time frames... the volume dried out after those huge moves and consumers hate them right now lol.. this is feeling like NYSE:GME apes versus wall street bullies. Except its NYSE:UNH versus the insured consumers finance.yahoo.com 20EMA on the daily = 342 still not even close Also FYI - NYSE:UNH is not the type of stock that goes parabolic, nothing sexy on the options flow either Below 290, I've got 275, 260, and 210 gap down. Good luck bulls and bears

UnitedHealth (UNH) Share Price ReboundsUnitedHealth (UNH) Share Price Rebounds A month ago, in our analysis of the UNH chart, we: → highlighted that UnitedHealth shares had lost nearly 23% in value; → drew a descending channel and suggested that bearish pressure could continue, threatening the support level around $450, which had held since early 2022. Since then, UNH’s stock price decisively broke below that level (as marked by the arrow), falling to around $250 — its lowest point since spring 2020 — before staging a sharp rebound. This steep price movement was driven by a series of fundamental developments, including: → the resignation of the CEO and news of a Department of Justice investigation into potential Medicare fraud; → UnitedHealth withdrawing its earnings guidance for the coming year; → political debates over the Medicaid programme as part of the 2025 budget negotiations; → President Trump’s directive to cut prescription drug prices. Recent news that the new CEO and several top executives have bought tens of millions of dollars’ worth of UNH shares appears to have renewed investor confidence — the share price rose above the $300 mark yesterday. Technical Analysis of UNH Share Chart These latest developments justify an update to the descending channel configuration. Of particular note is the gradual decline with limited volatility — a sign that the price is moving along the channel's median line (highlighted on the chart). In this setup: → the bounce from the $250 level points to the lower boundary of the channel; → traders may consider a scenario where the current recovery pushes UnitedHealth stock towards the median, after which supply pressure may return and offset the recent dominance of demand. It’s also possible that the key psychological level of $300 could now act as support. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.
