How United Utilities looks technically
United Utilities (UU.L) is trading 10.7% 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 245 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 10, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 63, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It just made a new 20-day high, its first since 2026-05-11, pushing above its recent trading range. It is 4.0% below its all-time high. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 6% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
