Trend Downtrend in force
CRH (CRH) is trading at $81.94. Over the last 127 sessions the trend is **down** with a -22.9% move.
Price is -30.9% from the 6-month high and +0.3% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~25%.
Price is below the 15-day MA ($84.89, -3.5%) and below the 50-day SMA ($92.46).
Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness
Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $81.94, upper $91.11, middle $85.92, lower $80.74. Price is near the lower band — weakness.
Bandwidth is 12.1% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.
RSI (14) Weakening
RSI(14) is 28.6. Nearing the 30 oversold line.
Generally: above 70 = overheated, above 50 = bullish trend, below 50 = bearish trend, below 30 = oversold.
MACD (12, 26, 9) Bearish — momentum slowing
MACD (12, 26, 9): line $-3.08, signal $-2.98, histogram -0.109.
The fast line has crossed below the signal line and the histogram is negative. Price may still be rising overall, but momentum is weakening — often seen before a correction, a sideways consolidation, or a final push higher.
Volume Analysis Balanced volume
Up-day and down-day volume are roughly even (ratio 1.18) over the recent 19 sessions — no strong conviction either way.
Rule of thumb: price up on high volume = accumulation; price down on high volume = distribution. Low-volume pullbacks after a rally are usually profit-taking, not panic.
Smart Money (A/D) Smart money on hold
The A/D line slope is flat and the line is well off highs — institutions are neither aggressively accumulating nor distributing.
A/D combines price position within the day's range with volume: rising = net buying pressure, falling = net selling pressure. It often leads price at turning points.
Anchored VWAP Below anchored VWAP — period buyers underwater
Price ($81.94) is -19.6% below the anchored VWAP ($101.86). Period buyers are underwater — overhead supply tends to cap rallies.
Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average from the start of the scraped series — a proxy for the period's average institutional cost basis.
Key Levels 3 resistance / 1 support levels
Current price $81.94. Resistance above: $85.15, $86.46, $88.68. Support below: $80.74.
Watch $85.15 as the first upside level to clear, and $80.74 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
