Technical Indicators

1 Buy3 Neutral4 Sell

NXST shows a bearish technical mix driven by a strong directional trend and weak volume despite short-term support, with price trading near $161 while below most medium- and long-term moving averages. ADX reading above 40 indicates a firm trend, and momentum measures are negative, reinforced by a soft MACD and a declining OBV that signals distribution. Volatility is moderate with an ATR near 3.5%, and the classic pivot sits close to the current price, offering little directional refuge. Technical takeaway: Sell — trend and volume favor the downside.
