Read in the glossary
ADX Trend Strength33.2Positive

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

Read in the glossary
Regression Intercept1.04Cautious

Fits a straight line through the closing prices of a fixed window and compares its level today with its level a few days earlier. A rising line describes an uptrend.

Momentum3/5 positive
RSI (14)63.5Positive

RSI stands at 63.5, 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.

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.

Read in the glossary
MACD+0.7%Positive

MACD stands at +0.7%, above the positive threshold, momentum over recent weeks is upward.

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.

Rate of Change-10.5%Cautious

United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock is -10.5% lower than 63 trading days ago, a negative medium-term price change.

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.

Read in the glossary
52-Week High85.8%Mixed

United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock trades at 85.8% of its 52-week high, neither near the high nor far from it.

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.

Read in the glossary
Momentum Oscillator+6.4%Positive

United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock shows an accelerating upward move at +6.4%, recent price gains are larger than before.

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.

Read in the glossary
Oscillators0/2 positive
Williams %R-9.2Cautious

Williams %R stands at -9.2, the price sits near the upper end of the 14-day trading range.

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.

Read in the glossary
Stochastic %K90.8Cautious

Stochastic %K stands at 90.8, a confirmed downward crossover out of the overbought zone.

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.
