TECHNICAL RATING
TECHNICAL SCORE
Bearish
18 / 100
Summary
Price sits well below the key averages: about 19.9% under the 20-day, 19.5% under the 50-day and 14.5% under the 200-day, and the 50/200 relationship is a Golden cross. Momentum is bearish with MACD below its signal and RSI at 26.1, so momentum is confirming the downtrend rather than diverging. The stock remains inside its Bollinger bands, which means there is room within the recent range, while volume is running below its 20-day average, reducing conviction behind any moves. The clearest change in the outlook would be a sustained reclaim of the 20-day moving average or a MACD cross back above its signal, likely accompanied by higher-than-normal volume.

Rating ruleFormula: the Technical Score is a weighted composite of eight inputs. Trend inputs — price vs. the 20-day (10%), 50-day (15%), and 200-day (25%) moving averages, and the 50/200 Golden or Death cross state (10%) — carry roughly 60% of the weight. Momentum inputs — MACD (12/26/9) vs. its signal line (15%) and RSI (14) state (10%) — carry 25%. Bollinger-band position (5%) and volume vs. the 20-day average (10%) round out the remainder. Each input contributes +1, 0, or -1, weights are re-normalized when a component is unavailable, and the weighted sum is thresholded at +/-0.45 to Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish.
