Money flow is negative, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached its maximum level of over-buying. Of course, that’s not a buy signal; the cloud is also red, and the MACD is still rolling over. A pull-up may happen at any time, and that would be a great place to get short.

If you are a short seller, consider a short opportunity in the $17-$19 range, with a target of $11 but a stop at $22. Don’t hang in long to avoid getting caught in a short-squeeze.

Veeva Systems

Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE:VEEV), a cloud-based software supplier for the life sciences industry, is another high-valued stock that has plummeted. The stock has lost more than 30% of its value since peaking at around $340 and is expected to fall considerably worse.

Money flow is low, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is oversold, but neither of these factors indicates a buy signal. The cloud is also red, with a bearish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indication.

Currently, the stock has broken its support level, and the downtrend is still continuing. Investors should watch out for a drop to around $195 (some long-term support), but they should also keep a stop-loss around $245.
