Bottom line
WST Technical Analysis Summary
The WST technical analysis at the August 5, 2026 cutoff shows a long-term uptrend with a short-term pullback from the late-July high of 385.75. The daily close at 351.02 remains above SMA20 (349.64), SMA50 (340.18), and SMA200 (285.76), keeping the daily average structure in a bullish alignment. Momentum has cooled after the rally: daily RSI14 at 55.01 is back near neutral and the daily MACD histogram is negative at -0.85, while the weekly MACD histogram is positive at 1.85. Weekly momentum stays constructive with price well above all key weekly averages. Key support is at 325.06 (20-day low) and 295.71 (60-day low), with resistance at the recent high of 385.75. A sustained close above 385.75 would confirm renewed strength, while a break below the 20-day low at 325.06 would point to a deeper pullback.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 351.02 is above SMA20 (349.64), SMA50 (340.18), and SMA200 (285.76), with the averages in a bullish order. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, confirming the long-term uptrend, though price is pressing on the 20-day average after the pullback.
- Momentum
- Neutral to cooling. RSI14 at 55.01 is above neutral but well below the 70 overbought threshold. The MACD line at 0.52 remains above zero but has fallen below the signal at 1.36, with a negative histogram at -0.85, indicating that upward momentum is fading after the late-July peak.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 9.85 (2.81% of price) reflects active daily ranges during the pullback. Bollinger Bands (329.38 to 369.90) are wide, and the close sits just above the middle band, consistent with a consolidation phase after the recent swing.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 499,400 is 61.3% of the 20-period average (815,045), showing lighter participation during the recent pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a pullback within an uptrend. Price is still above all key SMAs in a bullish order, but RSI has cooled to 55.01 and the negative MACD histogram points to a pause after the move to 385.75. The SMA20 at 349.64 and the 20-day low at 325.06 are the immediate downside references, while a reclaim of the recent high at 385.75 would signal renewed strength.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed but constructive. The completed weekly close at 340.96 is above SMA20 (310.21) and SMA200 (301.21) and well above SMA50 (280.32). The weekly averages are improving, with SMA20 now above SMA200, but SMA50 still trails the SMA200, so the longer-term alignment is recovering rather than fully re-aligned.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 59.93 is in bullish territory below the 70 overbought threshold. The MACD line at 22.57 is above the signal at 20.71 with a positive histogram at 1.85, confirming positive intermediate-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 22.34 (6.55% of price) reflects the large weekly swings around the recent high. Bollinger Bands (234.48 to 385.95) are wide, reflecting the sharp rally off the 52-week low.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 5,015,400 is 121.3% of the 20-week average (4,134,810), showing solid participation during the advance.
Assessment
The weekly chart remains constructive. Price closed the week of July 27, 2026 at 340.96, well above all key weekly averages, with a positive weekly MACD histogram and RSI at 59.93. The main caveat is that the weekly SMA50 has not yet crossed above the SMA200, so the longer-term structure is still maturing. The 234.25 20-week low and the 205.99 60-week low are the downside references, and the recent high at 385.75 is the upside reference.
