What does it mean?
- 8-week price move: -2.95%. Weekly return volatility: 1.67%. Close is 4.74% below the prior-window 8-week high. and 0.77% above the prior-window 8-week low. Volume trend: rising. Latest week’s volume is 0.52σ from its 8-week average. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume): 0.69. Price/volume correlation (returns vs volume change): 0.61. 26-week move: -3.13%. 52-week move: -0.37%. Price sits 0.04% above its medium-term baseline, and the distance is widening. Moving-average stack is weak (short below intermediate below long). A short-term average has just crossed below the intermediate average.
- How to read this — Price slope is downward, indicating persistent supply pressure. Low weekly volatility favours steadier follow-through. Volume trend diverges from price — watch for fatigue or rotation. Returns are positively correlated with volume — strength tends to arrive on higher activity. Weak MA stack argues for caution; rallies can fail near the 8–13 week region. Fresh short-term downside crossover weakens near-term tone. Price sits below key averages, keeping pressure on the tape.
- Down-slope argues for patience; rallies can fade sooner unless participation improves. Because liquidity isn’t confirming, prefer evidence of fresh demand before chasing moves.
