Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 19.22 is above SMA20 (18.14), SMA50 (17.30), and SMA200 (16.15), with the moving averages arranged in a bullish stack. Price is trading near the top of its 20-day and 60-day ranges, close to the 52-week high at 19.42.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 63.85 is in bullish territory, above the 50 midline and below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD line at 0.48 is above the signal line at 0.39, with a positive histogram at 0.10, confirming steady upside momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.46 (2.39% of price) reflects controlled daily swings for a large-cap bank ADR. Bollinger Bands (16.94 to 19.33) are moderately wide, with price near the upper band as the uptrend extends.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 4,089,400 is 94.1% of the 20-period average (4,345,355), indicating consistent participation without a volume surge on the latest session.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a firm bullish structure with price above all key SMAs and positive momentum on both RSI and MACD. Price is testing the 52-week high at 19.42 after a 20-period gain of 9.77%. A decisive close above 19.42 would extend the uptrend, while a loss of SMA20 at 18.14 would signal near-term weakness.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 18.94 is above SMA20 (16.37), SMA50 (15.72), and SMA200 (9.39), with all major moving averages in a bullish alignment and the SMA200 sloping upward, confirming a maturing long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 67.91 is in strong bullish territory but below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD line at 0.76 is above the signal line at 0.51 with a positive histogram at 0.25, confirming expanding upside momentum at the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.01 (5.34% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges, consistent with a stock trading near its highs in a strong uptrend.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest weekly volume of 27,000,500 is 128.8% of the 20-week average (20,963,115), showing increased participation as price advances.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms a strong long-term uptrend. Price is above all key SMAs with bullish alignment, RSI at 67.91 provides room before overbought conditions, and the MACD histogram is positive and expanding. The 52-week position of 94.13% and the 252-period return of +313.03% reflect a sustained advance. A weekly close above the 52-week high near 19.31 would confirm continued strength.
