Investor Sentiment Shifts as Market Reacts to New Appointment
Pfizer Inc. PFE experienced a drop in shares on Thursday following President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Investors are worried about Kennedy’s past criticisms of vaccines and vaccinations.
Despite the decline, some analysts believe this situation may create a buying opportunity. Consequently, our team of expert traders has identified Pfizer as our Stock of the Day.
On Wall Street, many trading strategies operate on the idea of reversion to the mean. This concept suggests that if a stock moves too far in one direction, it is likely to rebound back toward its average value.
Typically, stocks remain within a defined trading range. However, emotional trading can lead to significant swings, pushing share prices outside their normal bounds.
When stocks stray from this range, potential profit opportunities may arise, as a return to the mean becomes possible.

In trading terms, when a stock is under its average range, it is considered “oversold.” Many traders speculate that it may soon bounce back, signaling a possible price increase.
As buyers enter the market, this could create upward pressure on the stock price, reinforcing the idea of a rebound.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator at the bottom of the chart shows that Pfizer is currently in an oversold condition, with the blue line crossing below the red line.
Moreover, another factor contributing to a potential rebound includes the stock’s decline to a support level that was established in April. Historically, stocks often find support at these previously established levels, and rallies can occur from this point.
Investors who sold shares at this support level in April may regret their decision if prices rise again. Many choose to buy back shares at the same price they sold, thus providing new support.
The combination of oversold conditions and testing historical support increases the likelihood of a rebound for Pfizer.
