The Closelooknet read
Nova Ltd (NASDAQ: NVMI) ranks 11th of the 86 stocks in our chip section on one-month move, with a fall of 11.68%, while its peers in testing and metrology fell much further. Yet our money-flow reading (a gauge of net buying pressure) stands at -44.1, labelled cold, and has dropped 31.7 points over 21 sessions. Our momentum score is 12 of 100 and the composite is 43. Friday's data shows a one-day jump of 11.73% to $313.18, which sits against that weak flow. What we watch: whether the stock holds above its 52-week low close of $275.78 and the flow reading stops falling, or whether it slips back under it.
