After strong earnings and a guidance upgrade, I've just been waiting for an entry point on UNH .

Today we are oversold on the hourly RSI and stochastic , and I'm seeing a little bullish divergence coming in on the hourly MACD histogram. We've got support at 254.44 from the 20-day moving average, though there's not a lot of volume located here on the volume profile . I've taken a small long position here, and I'll buy more if we get down closer to 250, where there's more volume and also support from the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
