How Sainsbury's looks technically
Sainsbury's (SBRY.L) is trading 8.0% 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 29 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 65, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 7 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 2 trading days ago. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
