Trend Downtrend in force

MDT (MDT) is trading at $86.38. Over the last 127 sessions the trend is **down** with a +0.1% move.

Price is -8.3% from the 6-month high and +17.1% from the low. Annualised volatility (30-day) is ~20%.

Price is below the 15-day MA ($89.49, -3.5%) and below the 50-day SMA ($89.98).

Bollinger Bands Near the lower band — weakness

Bollinger Bands (20, 2): price is at $86.38, upper $95.24, middle $90.15, lower $85.06. Price is near the lower band — weakness.

Bandwidth is 11.3% of price — moderate. Width contraction often precedes a directional breakout; expansion confirms one underway.

RSI (14) Oversold

RSI(14) is 14.0. A bounce is common from these levels but not guaranteed.

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 $-1.13, signal $-0.45, histogram -0.674.

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 1.01) 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 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 Above anchored VWAP — period buyers in profit

Price ($86.38) is +2.6% above the anchored VWAP ($84.22). Buyers who entered at the period's volume-weighted average are in profit and less likely to panic-sell.

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 $86.38. Resistance above: $86.84, $88.99, $91.12. Support below: $85.06.

Watch $86.84 as the first upside level to clear, and $85.06 as the first downside level to hold. A clean break of either often determines the next leg.
