Trend Downtrend in force
IP (IP) is trading at $31.97. Over the last 127 sessions the trend is **down** with a -8.5% move.
Price is -27.5% from the 6-month high and +8.8% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~33%.
Price is below the 15-day MA ($34.11, -6.3%) and below the 50-day SMA ($38.07).
Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness
Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $31.97, upper $36.69, middle $34.29, lower $31.88. Price is near the lower band — weakness.
Bandwidth is 14.0% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.
RSI (14) Below 50
RSI(14) is 31.4. Momentum has faded; the bullish case needs rebuilding.
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 $-1.43, signal $-1.28, histogram -0.152.
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 Accumulation — buyers in control
Over the recent 19 sessions, average up-day volume is 1.37× down-day volume. Price rises on heavier volume than it falls on — a sign buyers are more committed than sellers.
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 distributing
The A/D line is falling and well off highs. If smart money were exiting you would expect lower highs and volume spikes on down days — distribution pressure is building.
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 ($31.97) is -10.7% below the anchored VWAP ($35.79). 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 $31.97. Resistance above: $32.98, $34.60, $36.28. Support below: $31.88.
Watch $32.98 as the first upside level to clear, and $31.88 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
