Bottom line
WST Technical Analysis Summary
WST (West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.) displays a strong bullish technical picture across both daily and weekly timeframes. Price at 357.65 trades well above all key moving averages (SMA20, SMA50, SMA200) on both timeframes, with the SMA200 sloping upward confirming the long-term uptrend. RSI near 63 on the daily chart shows bullish momentum without reaching overbought territory above 70. The MACD is positive on both daily and weekly, signaling steady upside momentum. Key support rests at the 20-day low of 347.85 and the 50-day SMA at 328.18. Resistance is at the 52-week high of 367.66. A breakout above 367.66 would open the path to new highs; a breakdown below SMA20 at 347.85 would suggest short-term weakness.
