The stock trades at 47.82, above SMA20 (46.51) and SMA50 (45.18), though slightly below SMA200 (48.15). RSI14 at 54.22 on the daily indicates neutral bullish momentum.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Moderately bullish. Price at 47.82 is above SMA20 (46.51) and SMA50 (45.18) but slightly below SMA200 (48.15). The stock has been in a recovery phase from mid-2025 lows, with the SMA50 starting to flatten, suggesting a potential transition from downtrend to consolidation.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bullish. RSI14 at 54.22 is above the 50 midline but not yet in strong bullish territory. MACD (0.31) is above zero with the line holding above the signal, though the histogram at -0.04 shows a minor loss of upside momentum in the near term.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.68 (3.51% of price) reflects typical daily movement for a mid-cap industrial stock. Bollinger Bands (43.75 to 49.87) show moderate width with price oscillating near the middle of the range.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Latest volume of 425,800 is 82% of the 20-period average (519,270), indicating normal participation levels without unusual accumulation or distribution.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a cautiously positive bias. Price above the shorter-term moving averages (SMA20 and SMA50) is supportive, but proximity to SMA200 (48.15) is a key level to watch. A sustained move above SMA200 would strengthen the bullish case significantly. The neutral RSI leaves room for further upside without overbought risk.
Weekly (July 7, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Transitional. Price at 47.93 is above SMA20 (45.60) but below SMA50 (49.85) and SMA200 (51.30). The SMA200 is still sloping downward, reflecting the longer-term downtrend from the 2023 highs near 60. However, price recovering above SMA20 is an early positive sign.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 48.75 is just below the 50 midline, reflecting the ongoing transition. MACD at 0.84 with the signal line at 0.91 shows the histogram narrowing, suggesting selling pressure is diminishing. A MACD crossover above the signal line would be a meaningful bullish signal.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 3.55 (7.41% of price) shows typical weekly ranges for this stock. Weekly volatility has been contracting since the early 2026 selloff, which often precedes a directional move.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 2,345,000 is 95% of the 20-week average (2,468,420), indicating consistent but not exceptional participation.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is in a transitional phase. Price has recovered above the SMA20 but remains below SMA50 and SMA200, reflecting that the long-term trend has not yet turned bullish. The narrowing MACD histogram is encouraging, but confirmation of a bullish reversal requires price to reclaim SMA50 near 49.85 and eventually SMA200 at 51.30.
