Trend Strong uptrend in force

NSC (NSC) is trading at $340.48. Over the last 125 sessions the trend is **up** with a +11.4% move.

Price is -2.9% from the 6-month high and +22.4% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~23%.

Bollinger Bands Inside the bands — range-bound

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $340.48, upper $350.06, middle $337.38, lower $324.69. Price is inside the bands — range-bound.

Bandwidth is 7.5% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Healthy pullback

RSI(14) is 55.0. 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 $5.18, signal $5.75, histogram -0.570.

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 1.11) 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 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 ($340.48) is +9.5% above the anchored VWAP ($310.81). 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 / 3 support levels

Current price $340.48. Resistance above: $342.53, $350.06, $358.60. Support below: $337.38, $328.78, $323.41.

Watch $342.53 as the first upside level to clear, and $337.38 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
