Trend Range-bound / consolidating

HCA (HCA) is trading at $436.92. Over the last 128 sessions the trend is **flat** with a -9.7% move.

Bollinger Bands Near the upper band — momentum hot

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $436.92, upper $439.35, middle $428.95, lower $418.55. Price is near the upper band — momentum hot.

Bandwidth is 4.8% of price — contracted (low volatility, breakout pending). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Healthy pullback

RSI(14) is 56.5. Above 50 — bullish momentum intact, no exhaustion.

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 $4.48, signal $4.70, histogram -0.220.

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 Distribution — sellers in control

Down-day volume exceeds up-day volume (ratio 0.74). Price falls on heavier volume than it rises on — sellers are more aggressive than buyers.

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 distributing

The A/D line is falling and well off highs. If smart money were exiting you would expect lower highs and volume spikes on down days — distribution pressure is building.

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 ($436.92) is +6.6% above the anchored VWAP ($409.80). 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 2 resistance / 3 support levels

Current price $436.92. Resistance above: $439.35, $446.36. Support below: $433.83, $428.95, $423.43.

Watch $439.35 as the first upside level to clear, and $433.83 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
