Before concluding on to Q3 2024 results, let’s look into the technical aspect of the stock. On the 24th Oct 2024 trading session, the PCT stock gave +29.59% returns and took rejection exactly from $14.65 on multiple time frames like 5min, 15min, 1hr, 1 day and 1 week, indicating the strength of the resistance.
Looking at stock on a weekly timeframe, we can see that the price took a reversal from the resistance zone, and RSI indicates the same over-bought scenario. A buying opportunity will trigger once the $15.98 level breaks, and prices come to retest the level. We can plan an entry on healthy buying candles with targets of $23.35 and a stop-loss of $12.

ICLR/USD 15-Minute Chart
Fundamentally, the stock is still not weak. Looking at technical aspects on a weekly time frame, the company has been on an uptrend for a long time. Price broke the support trendline on 9th September, and from then, the price was moving sideways, indicating weak buyers.
On 24th Oct 2024, major selling was triggered, bringing the price to its support level of $221.73. Currently, looking at the price-only selling scenario will trigger two situations.
If the price continues to fall and crosses the 221.73 level, then wait for the level to retest and then make an entry with the target of $185, as RSI is in the oversold situation, and the price can come for SL hunting.
If the price reverses from the 221.73 level, as the RSI will cool off, then wait for the price to break the $221.73 level and if, during that time RSI is between 40-30, then plan an entry with the target of $185.
