Technical Analysis (COST)
Trend Identification
EMA
Exponential Moving Average
Current price (952.52) is below both Short MA (954.66) and Long MA (989.65). This indicates strong bearish momentum. Short MA (954.66) is below Long MA (989.65), a bearish crossover ('Death Cross' if it's a significant period). This indicates a downward trend. MAs (954.66, 989.65, 974.49) show mixed alignment, suggesting market indecision or range-bound activity. Consider short positions. Use the MAs as dynamic resistance levels.
MACD
Moving Average Convergence Divergence
MACD line is above the Signal line (bullish crossover). This indicates upward momentum. Histogram (0.7500) is positive and expanding, confirming bullish momentum. Both MACD and Signal lines are below the zero line, reinforcing bearish momentum (bearish territory). A bullish crossover below the zero line can indicate a reversal from a prior downtrend. Consider this as a potential early buy signal.
ADX
Average Directional Index
ADX (27.63) indicates a strong trend is present. -DI (21.15) is above +DI (16.55), suggesting a bearish directional bias. This combination points to a strong downward trend. Consider taking short positions, as the strong downward trend is confirmed.

OBV (2025-08-26)
On-Balance Volume
