Trend Downtrend in force
Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) is trading at $45.46. Over the last 128 sessions the trend is **down** with a -7.5% move.
Price is -11.6% from the 6-month high and +8.3% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~20%.
Price is below the 15-day MA ($46.86, -3.0%) and below the 50-day SMA ($48.27).
Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness
Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $45.46, upper $51.67, middle $47.80, lower $43.94. Price is near the lower band — weakness.
Bandwidth is 16.2% of price — expanded (high volatility). Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.
RSI (14) Oversold
RSI(14) is 16.1. A bounce is common from these levels but not guaranteed.
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 $-0.88, signal $-0.59, histogram -0.287.
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 1.10) 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 Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater
Price ($45.46) is -2.2% below the anchored VWAP ($46.50). 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 $45.46. Resistance above: $46.39, $47.11, $49.90. Support below: $43.94.
Watch $46.39 as the first upside level to clear, and $43.94 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
