Trend Range-bound / consolidating

ALB (ALB) is trading at $127.00. Over the last 125 sessions the trend is **flat** with a -23.4% move.

Price is -41.1% from the 6-month high and +12.2% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~36%.

Bollinger Bands Near the upper band — momentum hot

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $127.00, upper $128.37, middle $119.75, lower $111.13. Price is near the upper band — momentum hot.

Bandwidth is 14.4% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Overbought

RSI(14) is 70.8. Strong but not yet extreme — approaching the 80 line.

Generally: above 70 = overheated, above 50 = bullish trend, below 50 = bearish trend, below 30 = oversold.

MACD (12, 26, 9) Bullish — fast line above signal

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-4.45, signal $-7.01, histogram +2.564.

The fast line is above the signal line and the histogram is positive — a bullish configuration. Momentum is expanding.

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 1.09) over the recent 19 sessions — no strong conviction either way.

Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.

Smart Money (A/D) Smart money on hold

The A/D line slope is flat and the line is well off highs — institutions are neither aggressively accumulating nor distributing.

A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.

Anchored VWAP Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater

Price ($127.00) is -22.3% below the anchored VWAP ($163.44). Period buyers are underwater — overhead supply tends to cap rallies.

Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.

Key Levels 3 resistance / 3 support levels

Current price $127.00. Resistance above: $128.37, $130.61, $134.40. Support below: $124.58, $119.75, $116.90.

Watch $128.37 as the first upside level to clear, and $124.58 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
