Trend Downtrend in force

ESS (ESS) is trading at $285.29. Over the last 125 sessions the trend is **down** with a +10.7% move.

Price is -4.4% from the 6-month high and +19.1% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~22%.

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $285.29, upper $300.93, middle $291.29, lower $281.65. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

Bandwidth is 6.6% of price — contracted (low volatility, breakout pending). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 37.7. Momentum has faded; the bullish case needs rebuilding.

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

MACD (12, 26, 9) Bearish — momentum slowing

MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-0.80, signal $0.46, histogram -1.262.

The fast line has crossed below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Price may still be rising overall, but momentum is weakening — often seen before a correction, a sideways consolidation, or a final push higher.

Volume Analysis Balanced volume

Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 1.28) 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 Above anchored VWAP — period buyers in profit

Price ($285.29) is +6.1% above the anchored VWAP ($268.84). Buyers who entered at the period's volume-weighted average are in profit and less likely to panic-sell.

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 / 2 support levels

Current price $285.29. Resistance above: $286.21, $293.86, $297.89. Support below: $279.32, $271.66.

Watch $286.21 as the first upside level to clear, and $279.32 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
