Trend Downtrend in force

HSY (HSY) is trading at $161.70. Over the last 128 sessions the trend is **down** with a -22.2% move.

Price is -23.3% from the 6-month high and +2.6% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~16%.

Bollinger Bands Inside the bands — range-bound

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $161.70, upper $176.84, middle $166.83, lower $156.81. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

Bandwidth is 12.0% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Below 50

RSI(14) is 31.3. 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 $-4.48, signal $-4.15, histogram -0.327.

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 Accumulation — buyers in control

Over the recent 19 sessions, average up-day volume is 1.56× down-day volume. Price rises on heavier volume than it falls on — a sign buyers are more committed than sellers.

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 Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater

Price ($161.70) is -11.0% below the anchored VWAP ($181.63). 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 / 1 support levels

Current price $161.70. Resistance above: $169.57, $173.30, $176.84. Support below: $156.16.

Watch $169.57 as the first upside level to clear, and $156.16 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
