Bottom line
LYB Technical Analysis Summary
LYB (LyondellBasell Industries) shows a mixed technical picture with divergent signals across timeframes. The daily chart is constructive with price at 58.32 above SMA20 (57.09) and SMA200 (56.30), supported by a strong 5-day bounce of +10.10% from the 51.98 support area. The daily MACD histogram has turned positive at 0.69, indicating the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, a potential early reversal signal. However the weekly chart remains bearish with price at 56.35 below SMA20 (67.10) and SMA200 (68.98), RSI at 43.93, and MACD histogram deeply negative at -2.51. Key resistance sits at 64.93 (20-day high); a sustained break above this level would be needed to confirm a trend reversal. Support rests at 51.98 (20-day low), with a breakdown below that level suggesting renewed downside risk.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 58.32 is above SMA20 (57.09) and SMA200 (56.30) but below SMA50 (64.70). The SMA50 at 64.70 sits well above price, reflecting the steep decline from earlier levels. However price has bounced sharply from the 51.98 low area over the past 5 sessions (+10.10%), recovering above the SMA200 and SMA20.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 47.88 is slightly below the neutral 50 level but recovering from deeply oversold territory. MACD at -2.55 is still negative but the line has crossed above the signal line (-3.24), and the histogram at 0.69 is positive, signaling a potential shift in momentum direction.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.17 (3.72% of price) reflects above-average daily swings. Bollinger Bands (49.89 to 64.28) are wide, with price recovering from the lower band toward the middle band, consistent with the recent sharp bounce.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 5,943,900 is 102.3% of the 20-day average (5,811,880), indicating normal participation levels during the recent bounce.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows early signs of a potential reversal. The sharp bounce from 51.98 support, the move above SMA200 and SMA20, and the positive MACD histogram are encouraging. However price must break above the 20-day high at 64.93 to confirm a more sustained reversal. RSI needs to reclaim the 50 level to confirm momentum shift.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish. Price at 56.35 is below SMA20 (67.10) and SMA200 (68.98), though above SMA50 (55.33). The SMA200 at 68.98 is still above current price, indicating the long-term trend is not yet bullish. SMA20 is converging lower toward SMA50, suggesting ongoing weakness.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 43.93 is below the neutral 50 level, indicating weak momentum. MACD at 0.29 is barely positive but remains below the signal line at 2.81, with the histogram at -2.51 deeply negative. No crossover signal has materialized on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.02 (10.69% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with the volatile price action over the past year. Bollinger Bands (52.13 to 82.06) show price near the lower band, indicating continued downside pressure.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 31,890,000 is 94.1% of the 20-week average (33,874,175).
Assessment
The weekly timeframe remains in a bearish structure. Price is below key moving averages, RSI is below 50, and the MACD histogram is deeply negative. The weekly picture needs to see a sustained move above SMA50 (55.33 - already achieved in the latest week) and then SMA20 (67.10) before a broader recovery can be confirmed.
