Bottom line
LYB Technical Analysis Summary
LYB (LyondellBasell Industries) shows a mixed technical picture with early recovery signals on the daily timeframe. The daily chart is constructive with price at 60.62 above SMA20 (59.03) and SMA200 (57.35), a MACD histogram that has turned positive at 0.45, and RSI at 53.03 above the neutral 50 level. The stock has bounced about +14.44% over the past 20 sessions from the 51.98 support area. However, the weekly chart remains mixed to bearish with price at 62.08 below SMA20 (66.46) and SMA200 (69.00), a weekly MACD histogram still negative at -1.42, and weekly RSI at 50.99. Key resistance sits at 64.98 (20-day high) with the SMA50 at 60.77 acting as nearby overhead; a sustained break above 64.98 would strengthen the reversal case. Support rests at 52.93 (20-day low) and 51.98 (60-day low); a breakdown below 51.98 would signal renewed downside risk.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed to constructive. Price at 60.62 is above the SMA20 (59.03) and SMA200 (57.35) but just below the SMA50 (60.77). The strong bounce from the 51.98 area, up about +14.44% over the past 20 sessions, has lifted price back above the SMA20 and SMA200.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 53.03 is back above the neutral 50 level. MACD at 0.31 has crossed above the signal line at -0.15, and the histogram at 0.45 is positive, pointing to a shift toward bullish momentum on the daily timeframe.
- Volatility
- Moderately elevated. ATR14 at 2.24 (3.69% of price) reflects above-average daily swings. Bollinger Bands (54.60 to 63.47) are reasonably wide, with price sitting in the upper half of the bands.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 6,072,700 is 120.3% of the 20-day average (5,046,060), indicating active participation during the recent recovery.
Assessment
The daily timeframe is showing early recovery signals. Price has rebounded roughly +14.44% over the past 20 sessions from the 51.98 low, reclaimed the SMA20 (59.03) and SMA200 (57.35), and the MACD histogram is positive at 0.45. The main obstacle is the SMA50 at 60.77, which price is testing. A sustained move above the 20-day high at 64.98 would give more confidence in a broader reversal, while RSI holding above 50 supports the improving momentum.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 62.08 is above the SMA50 (56.07) but below the SMA20 (66.46) and SMA200 (69.00). The SMA200 remains well above price, so the long-term trend has not turned bullish. The recent bounce from the 51.98 area has been strong (+11.39% over the past 5 weeks), but price still needs to clear the SMA20 to improve the structure.
- Momentum
- Neutral with a bearish tilt. RSI14 at 50.99 is right at the neutral 50 level. MACD at 0.02 is still below the signal line at 1.44, and the histogram at -1.42 remains negative, indicating the weekly momentum has not yet confirmed a bullish shift.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 5.87 (9.45% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (51.58 to 81.35) are wide, and price has recovered from the lower band toward the middle band, consistent with the recent rebound.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest weekly volume of 24,971,000 is 84.4% of the 20-week average (29,586,445), suggesting the rebound has come on lighter participation.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is mixed. Price at 62.08 has reclaimed the SMA50 (56.07) after the recent bounce, but remains below the SMA20 (66.46) and SMA200 (69.00), and the weekly MACD histogram is still negative at -1.42. The recovery needs a sustained push above the SMA20 (66.46) to shift the longer-term structure. Until then, the weekly view stays corrective within a wider downtrend.
