How Elementis looks technically
Elementis (ELM.L) is trading 9.9% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 49 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 15, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 75, in overbought territory (above 70). It made a new 20-day high about 3 trading days ago. It is 3.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year). Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
