Daily (August 6, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 49.64 sits just below the converged SMA20 (50.38) and SMA50 (50.38), while holding well above SMA200 (41.47). The two short-term moving averages have flattened around 50.38, reflecting the consolidation that followed the decline from the 52-week high of 57.49. A reclaim of the 50.40 area would signal renewed short-term strength, while the SMA200 at 41.47 remains the key longer-term support.
- Momentum
- Neutral to soft. RSI14 at 48.85 is just below the 50 midline, indicating balanced momentum after the pullback. The MACD line at 0.33 is below the signal line at 0.53 with a slightly negative histogram of -0.20, showing that upward momentum has cooled. The MACD line remains above zero, so the correction has not yet turned structurally bearish.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.70 (3.42% of price) reflects average daily swings for an emerging-market energy ADR. Bollinger Bands run from 47.74 to 53.02, and price sits near the middle band, consistent with a consolidation phase after the recent range-bound action.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest daily volume of 648,183 is 57.5% of the 20-period average of 1,127,824, indicating reduced participation on the latest completed session. Volume during the corrective phase has generally been lighter than during the earlier advance.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a corrective consolidation within a longer-term uptrend. Price is below the short-term moving averages but above the SMA200, and the flat SMA20/SMA50 pairing around 50.38 points to a market digesting recent gains. RSI near 50 and a slightly negative MACD histogram suggest momentum is neutral while the trend decides its next direction. A close back above 50.40 with stronger volume would confirm a resumption, while a break below 47.00 would signal a deeper pullback.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 52.54 for the week of July 27 is above SMA20 (47.00), SMA50 (38.90), and SMA200 (25.46), with all three moving averages rising. The SMA20 is well above the SMA50, and the SMA200 has climbed from single digits to 25.46, reflecting the strong multi-year advance. The early August pullback follows a move to the 52-week high of 57.49.
- Momentum
- Bullish but flattening. Weekly RSI14 at 62.46 remains in bullish territory and below overbought. The MACD line at 3.31 is essentially flat against the signal line at 3.30, with a histogram of 0.01, indicating that the powerful momentum of the past year has decelerated into a less directional phase.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 4.31 (8.19% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges typical of an energy ADR in an emerging market. Bollinger Bands run from 38.17 to 55.82, and price is below the upper band after the recent pullback, leaving room for further upside as well as deeper swings.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest weekly volume of 4,684,200 is 45.8% of the 20-week average of 10,227,305, showing lighter participation during the latest completed week.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms a strong multi-year uptrend. The stock has rallied from the 52-week low of 22.82 and remains near the upper portion of its range. RSI at 62.46 is constructive but no longer stretched, and the flat MACD histogram suggests the trend is consolidating rather than accelerating. The weekly picture supports the daily view that the recent pullback is a pause within an ongoing uptrend, with the 20-week low at 37.18 and the SMA50 at 38.90 acting as the main support zone on deeper corrections.

Scenarios
YPF Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
Price closes back above the converged SMA20/SMA50 area at 50.40 and then breaks above the 20-period high at 53.57 with above-average volume. RSI moving back above 55 and the daily MACD crossing above its signal line would confirm renewed momentum.
Invalidation
Price fails to hold the 20-period low at 47.00 and closes below it on expanding volume, breaking the consolidation structure.
What to watch
Daily closes above 50.40 and 53.57; RSI above 55; MACD histogram turning positive; volume expanding on up days.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price continues to oscillate between the 20-period low at 47.00 and the 20-period high at 53.57 while the SMA20 and SMA50 stay flat around 50.38. Reduced volume and RSI hovering near 50 would confirm a consolidation phase after the decline from 57.49.
Invalidation
A decisive close above 53.57, or a close below the 60-period low at 43.21, would end the range.
What to watch
RSI staying between 45 and 60; MACD histogram hovering near zero; volume below average; Bollinger Bands remaining flat.
Bearish
Trigger
Price breaks below the 20-period low at 47.00 and then the 60-period low at 43.21. A move toward the SMA200 at 41.47 would be the next measured target, with further downside if that level fails.
Invalidation
Price reclaims 47.00 and then the 50.40 moving-average area on strong volume, restoring the uptrend.
What to watch
Consecutive closes below 47.00; RSI dropping below 40; MACD histogram deepening; volume expanding on down days.
