How Vesuvius looks technically
Vesuvius (VSVS.L) is trading 10.9% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 121 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 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 25, in oversold territory (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 6 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 4 trading days ago. It is 26.9% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
