Herbalife Ltd (NYSE:HLF) is a leading global nutrition company. Recently, the stock has tried to recapture its 50-day moving average but has failed on multiple attempts over the past month. When a stock trades below a key moving average it will generally be viewed as a negative in the chart. Today, HLF stock is trading around the $68.00 level which is just above the important 200-day moving average at $67.45. A failure to hold this key area will indicate further weakness in the equity and a potential decline down into the $61.00 level. The $61.00 area is where there should be solid institutional support. This level is where the stock was supported in August 2017. Often, prior support levels will be defended when retested.
