Merck under pressure: the trade holds but confirmation is discouraging

Merck is at week 3 of a buy signal with confirmation just closed bearish — a negative outcome the model reads as an early exit signal. The trade is currently down 2.74% from entry, the dynamic stop sits tight near the entry area, and the setup quality indicator stands at 52 out of 100. The Health Care sector is holding up (+5.84% over the past month), but the picture for this stock is less encouraging.
