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.
