MRK — Merck & Co., Inc.

Last scan (Sept. 15, 2026): price $144.85, RSI 52.00, relative volume 0.67x, MACD ⚪ No, score 35.59.

It's in a bullish underlying trend (above its 200-day average), with an RSI of 52.0 in a neutral zone. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. Relative volume of 0.67x is below normal — little interest today. The analysts' average target price implies a modest +5.6% upside. With a PEG of 2.63, the price already bakes in high growth expectations.
