Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Neutral to slightly bearish. Price at 24.92 sits just below SMA20 (25.09, -0.68%) and SMA50 (25.05, -0.52%). FCNCN is a 6.625% non-cumulative perpetual preferred that trades near its $25.00 liquidation preference, and the moving averages are tightly clustered around the current price. SMA200 is not available because the preferred listed in January 2026 and has only 129 completed daily bars.
- Momentum
- Slightly bearish. RSI14 at 44.56 is below the 50 midline, indicating modest negative momentum without reaching oversold conditions. MACD line at -0.08 is below the signal line at -0.04 with a negative histogram of -0.04, reflecting weak downward pressure consistent with a preferred trading slightly below par.
- Volatility
- Low. ATR14 at 0.17 (0.69% of price) reflects the tight daily ranges typical of a fixed-income preferred trading near its $25.00 liquidation preference. Bollinger Bands (24.69 to 25.49) are narrow and price is trading in the lower half, near the lower band.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 16,700 shares is about 67% of the 20-period average (24,880), indicating reduced participation in this moderately traded preferred issue.
Assessment
The daily chart shows FCNCN trading slightly below its short-term moving averages but holding in a tight band near the $25.00 liquidation preference. RSI below 50 and a negative MACD histogram point to a mildly soft tone, while the low ATR and narrow Bollinger Bands limit expected daily movement. The 20-day range is 24.80 to 25.46 and the 60-day range is 24.41 to 25.64. For a non-cumulative preferred, yield, call risk, and credit considerations dominate price behavior more than equity-style trend signals.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Neutral. Weekly price at 24.82 is marginally above SMA20 (24.70, +0.49%). SMA50 and SMA200 are not available because FCNCN has only 27 completed weekly bars since its January 2026 listing. The preferred has oscillated in a range from about 23.17 to 25.64 over its short weekly history.
- Momentum
- Neutral. Weekly RSI14 at 51.76 sits near the 50 midline, indicating no strong directional bias. Weekly MACD is not available because the configuration requires 35 weekly bars and FCNCN has 27.
- Volatility
- Low. Weekly ATR14 at 0.38 (1.52% of price) reflects modest weekly swings for a fixed-income preferred. Weekly Bollinger Bands (23.76 to 25.64) are narrow and price is in the upper half.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 120,100 is about 56% of the 20-week average (214,345), consistent with the lower liquidity profile of a preferred issue.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows FCNCN holding above its 20-week SMA with a neutral RSI near 50, reflecting a steady, range-bound preferred trading near its $25.00 liquidation preference. The short listing history limits longer-term analysis. Weekly support is at 23.17 (20-week low) and resistance at 25.64 (20-week high). The preferred trades on yield and credit considerations, so technical signals should be read with that context.
