Price at 297.48 holds above SMA20 (286.79), SMA50 (277.46), and SMA200 (256.72) with a bullish moving average alignment. RSI14 at 66.26 on the daily and 66.46 on the weekly indicates sustained momentum without overbought extremes. The daily MACD histogram at 0.16 is positive but flattening, while the weekly MACD shows a strongly bullish configuration with the histogram at 4.17 expanding. Key resistance sits at 303.35 (20/60-period high), and support at 269.28 (20-day low) and 244.74 (60-day low). A sustained break above 303.35 would confirm the uptrend continuation; a fall below 269.28 would signal weakening.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 297.48 is above SMA20 (286.79), SMA50 (277.46), and SMA200 (256.72) with a bullish alignment (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200). The uptrend from the February 2026 low near 234 has been consistent, with higher highs and higher lows.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 66.26 is above the 50 midline, signaling positive momentum without reaching overbought levels (above 70). MACD at 5.80 is above the signal line at 5.64 with a positive histogram at 0.16, confirming upward momentum although the histogram has flattened recently.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.48 (1.84% of price) reflects typical daily swings of about 5.48 points. Bollinger Bands (268.20 to 305.39) are moderately wide with price near the upper band, consistent with the ongoing uptrend.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 479,800 is 98.6% of the 20-period average (486,595), indicating normal trading participation without unusual accumulation or distribution.
Assessment
The daily timeframe presents a clear bullish bias. Price is above all key moving averages with RSI comfortably in bullish territory. The MACD confirms upward momentum, though the flattening histogram warrants monitoring. ESS is trading at the 91.55% level of its 52-week range, approaching the 303.35 resistance. A breakout above 303.35 would strengthen the bullish outlook.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 293.55 is above SMA20 (263.33), SMA50 (256.43), and SMA200 (237.23). All three moving averages are sloping upward with the SMA20 well above the SMA50, confirming a strong bullish trend on the weekly timeframe.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 66.46 is in bullish territory and trending upward. MACD at 10.48 is well above the signal line at 6.31 with an expanding histogram at 4.17, indicating strengthening bullish momentum on the weekly chart.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 11.43 (3.89% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (225.94 to 300.72) show price testing the upper band at 300.72, consistent with the ongoing rally.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 2,626,200 is 112.8% of the 20-week average (2,328,210), suggesting increased participation supporting the upward move.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms the bullish picture with price above all key SMAs and strong MACD momentum. The expanding MACD histogram is a particularly constructive signal. Price is approaching the upper Bollinger Band and the 303.35 resistance zone. Volume confirmation adds credibility to the trend. A weekly close above 303.35 would be a significant bullish milestone.
