Bottom line
YPF Technical Analysis Summary
YPF (YPF Sociedad Anónima) shows a bullish trend on the daily timeframe with price at 45.82 trading above SMA20 (43.15), SMA50 (40.78), and SMA200 (32.46). The weekly trend is strongly bullish with price at 46.11 above all key moving averages, supported by a 234.18% return over 252 weeks. RSI14 at 59.81 (daily) is in bullish territory above the 50 midline but not yet overbought, while weekly RSI at 65.87 is approaching overbought. MACD on the daily is positive with a bullish MACD line at 0.91 above the signal line at 0.62, though the histogram has narrowed to 0.29, suggesting momentum may be slowing. The stock has appreciated 184.38% from the 52-week low of 16.12 and is currently at 86.83% of its 52-week range. Volume on the latest daily bar is 224.4% of the 20-period average, indicating strong participation during the recent advance. The key level to watch is the SMA20 at 43.15 as near-term support; a close below this level would be the first sign of short-term weakness.

The SMA200 is sloping upward at 32.46, confirming a strong long-term uptrend. Price is trading near the upper end of the recent range.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 59.81 is above the 50 midline, indicating bullish momentum. MACD at 0.91 is above the signal line at 0.62 with a positive histogram of 0.29, though the narrowing histogram suggests momentum may be decelerating from the previous surge. The MACD line remains well above zero, confirming bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.47 (5.39% of price) reflects above-average daily swings, typical for an emerging-market energy stock. Bollinger Bands (38.44 to 48.10) are wide with price trading near the upper band, consistent with the strong uptrend.

Assessment
The daily chart shows a well-established uptrend with price above all key moving averages. The bullish alignment of SMAs supports the positive trend. RSI at 59.81 suggests room for further upside before reaching overbought levels. The narrowing MACD histogram warrants monitoring for potential trend deceleration. The elevated volume on the rally confirms strong buying interest.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend

All moving averages are sloping upward, with the SMA200 at 16.82 reflecting the powerful long-term uptrend from the pandemic-era lows.

The MACD histogram has been positive and expanding, indicating sustained upward momentum.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 4.11 (8.91% of price) reflects above-average weekly ranges, consistent with the strong uptrend and emerging-market energy sector volatility. Bollinger Bands (30.68 to 46.91) are wide, with price near the upper band, indicating strong trending conditions.

Assessment
The weekly chart confirms a powerful long-term uptrend. The stock has rallied significantly from the 16.12 low and is now trading near 46.11. RSI at 65.87 is bullish but approaching levels that have preceded consolidations in the past. The bullish MACD with expanding histogram supports the trend. The key question is whether the stock can sustain this momentum or is due for a consolidation phase given the magnitude of the move.
