Technical Indicators

0 Buy3 Neutral5 Sell

CBT is trading at 73.79 and exhibits a bearish veneer as the stock remains below its short- and medium-term averages while the ADX above 30 indicates a meaningful trend bias to the downside. Momentum is muted to negative with the CCI deeply negative and MACD slightly below zero, while RSI sits in the lower range without being oversold. On-balance volume is negative and pivots place the price just under the classical pivot, suggesting sellers are marginally in control amid low ATR volatility. Technical takeaway: Strong Sell — trend and volume favor the downside.
