How Johnson Matthey looks technically
Johnson Matthey (JMAT.L) is trading 4.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 40 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 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 53, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 19 trading days ago. It is 18.7% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
