Signal Analysis in Detail

EMA Crossover, Trend Direction

FAVORABLE

Compares a fast moving average to a slow one. When the fast is above the slow, the trend is positive. Period settings are automatically calibrated per asset class.

For Swiss Life Holding AG, the fast moving average is currently above the slow one. By this indicator's definition that corresponds to an uptrend, a description of past price action.

ADX, Trend Strength Filter

33.2

ADX does not measure direction, only how pronounced a trend is, regardless of whether it points up or down. We use it as a filter: only above a certain value does a trend count as strong enough to give other signals more weight. Direction itself comes from the separate ADX Direction signal.

ADX stands at 33.2, a pronounced trend, regardless of its direction.

RSI, Momentum Strength

68.5

The Relative Strength Index measures the ratio of upward to downward price movements over the last 14 trading days (Wilder smoothing) on a scale of 0 to 100. Our neutral zone is 45 to 55, tighter than the classic 30/70 band, outside of it the methodology reads the RSI as overbought or oversold.

RSI stands at 68.5, in the zone this indicator defines as overbought, upward moves clearly outweighed downward moves in recent days. Historically, a high RSI occurred both before consolidations and within longer phases of strength.

MACD, Trend Momentum

-0.1%

MACD measures the gap between two exponentially smoothed averages. Our periods are 12/20/9 instead of the common 12/26/9, and the signal threshold is normalized to 0.3% of the current price rather than the raw MACD value, which keeps the threshold comparable across different price levels.

MACD stands at -0.1%, within the neutral zone around the threshold, no clear momentum in either direction.

-0.3%+0.3%-66MACD -0.1%

Rate of Change, Price Change Over 63 Trading Days

+4.8%

Rate of Change measures the percentage price change over the last 63 trading days, roughly one quarter, a medium-term window, not a short-term daily or weekly read.

Swiss Life Holding AG is +4.8% higher than 63 trading days ago, a positive medium-term price change.

52-Week High, Distance from Yearly High

98.9%

Measures how close the current price is to its highest point over the last 252 trading days, roughly one year. A value near 100% means the price is at or near its yearly high.

Swiss Life Holding AG trades at 98.9% of its 52-week high, near the highest point of the last 252 trading days.

Momentum Oscillator, Speed of Price Movement

+1.6%

Checks whether the recent price movement is accelerating or decelerating. Unlike Rate of Change, this indicator measures the pace of the change, not the change itself.

Swiss Life Holding AG stands at +1.6%, close to this indicator's neutral threshold, without clear acceleration in either direction.

Williams %R, Position in Trading Range

-33.1

Williams %R shows where the current price sits within the high-low range of the last 14 trading days. We read it as contrarian: a favorable signal only fires on a confirmed turn upward out of the oversold zone, not on any low value by itself, an extreme oversold reading alone never produces a cautious signal for us.

Williams %R stands at -33.1, a neutral position. The price is in the middle of the recent trading range, without extremes in either direction.

-80-20-1000Williams %R -33.1

Stochastic %K, Confirmed Reversal Crossover

66.9

The Stochastic oscillator shows where the closing price sits within the recent trading range. A low or high value alone isn't enough for us: a signal only fires once %K and %D are both below 20 (or above 80) and %K is crossing upward (or downward), a confirmed turning point rather than a raw level.

Stochastic %K stands at 66.9, currently without a confirmed crossover in either direction.

Relative Strength, Performance vs Reference Index

0.98

Compares price performance over a medium-term period against a broad stock market index as a reference. A value above 1.0 means stronger performance than the reference index, below 1.0 means weaker.

Swiss Life Holding AG stands at 0.98, below the reference index, price performance over the period was weaker than the reference index's.
