Bottom line
VST Technical Analysis Summary
VST has pulled back sharply from its 52-week high of 218.91 and now trades at 140.58. The daily chart has turned bearish in the short term, with price below the SMA20 (155.31), SMA50 (155.88), and SMA200 (162.49). Daily RSI at 38.96 is approaching oversold, and the daily MACD histogram is negative at -1.86. The weekly chart shows a correction within a longer-term uptrend: price at 148.19 is below the weekly SMA20 (154.62) and SMA50 (168.67) but well above the SMA200 (100.10), and the weekly MACD histogram is positive at 0.77, suggesting the decline is decelerating. Key support is the 20-day low at 140.17, with deeper support at the 52-week low of 132.47. Resistance sits at the SMA20 and SMA50 cluster around 155.31 to 155.88, followed by the 60-day high at 171.35. Volume is above average on the latest session, consistent with active selling during the pullback.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 140.58 is below the SMA20 (155.31), the SMA50 (155.88), and the SMA200 (162.49). All three averages stack above price in a bearish alignment after the sharp decline from the 52-week high of 218.91, and the 52-week position at 9.38% shows price trading near the bottom of its yearly range.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.96 is below the 50 midline and approaching oversold, though it has not reached the 30 threshold. MACD at -3.04 is below the signal at -1.18 with a negative histogram of -1.86, confirming that downward momentum is still in force.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 7.92 (5.64% of price) reflects wide daily ranges during the sell-off. Bollinger Bands (140.00 to 170.61) are wide, and price at 140.58 is pressing against the lower band, consistent with the sharp decline.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 6,075,000 is 130.9% of the 20-period average (4,642,060), showing elevated participation during the latest down session.
Assessment
The daily chart shows an active downtrend. Price has fallen from the 52-week high of 218.91 to 140.58 and now trades below all three major moving averages with RSI at 38.96 and a negative MACD histogram. Price is pressing on the lower Bollinger band and sits just above the 20-day low at 140.17. Volume is running above average, suggesting the sell-off is being met with active participation. A sustained break below 140.17 would open the way toward the 60-day and 52-week low at 132.47, while a reclaim of the SMA20 and SMA50 cluster near 155.31 to 155.88 would be needed to repair the short-term structure.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 148.19 is below the SMA20 (154.62) and the SMA50 (168.67) but above the SMA200 (100.10). After an enormous multi-year advance, the weekly chart is correcting, though price staying well above the SMA200 keeps the longer-term uptrend structure intact.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 44.97 is below the 50 midline but not oversold. MACD at -2.45 is above the signal at -3.21 with a positive histogram of 0.77, a sign that the pace of the weekly decline is decelerating even though the MACD line itself remains negative.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 16.85 (11.37% of price) reflects very large weekly swings, consistent with the sharp correction from the 52-week high. Bollinger Bands (140.78 to 168.45) are wide and price is trading in the lower portion of the band.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest weekly volume of 24,251,700 is 112.5% of the 20-week average (21,554,930), showing modestly elevated participation during the correction week.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a correction inside a powerful long-term uptrend. The stock still trades near 9.6 times its level of five years ago and remains well above the weekly SMA200 at 100.10, but price has broken below the weekly SMA20 (154.62) and SMA50 (168.67) after the pullback from the 52-week high of 218.91. Weekly RSI at 44.97 and a positive MACD histogram of 0.77 suggest the decline is decelerating rather than accelerating. The immediate support is the 20-week low at 132.47, which also matches the 52-week low. A reclaim of the weekly SMA20 near 154.62 would be the first sign of stabilization.
