What does it mean?
- 8-week price move: -0.23%. Weekly return volatility: 1.48%. Close is 0.83% below the prior-window 8-week high. and 1.03% above the prior-window 8-week low. Volume trend: rising. Latest week’s volume is -0.11σ from its 8-week average. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume): -0.64. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume change): -0.11. 26-week move: 1.91%. 52-week move: -13.67%. Price sits 0.03% below its medium-term baseline, and the distance is widening. A short-term average has just crossed above the intermediate average.
- How to read this — Price slope is upward, indicating persistent buying over the window. Low weekly volatility favours steadier follow-through. Volume and price are moving in the same direction — a constructive confirmation. Returns are negatively correlated with volume — strength may come on lighter activity. Fresh short-term crossover improves near-term tone.
- Up-slope supports buying interest; pullbacks may be contained if activity stays firm.
