How Wetherspoons looks technically
Wetherspoons (JDW.L) is trading 20.1% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 3 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 11, 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 73, in overbought territory (above 70). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It just made a new 20-day high, pushing above its recent trading range. It is trading right at its highest price of the past year (its 52-week high). Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
