Ecolab climbs 1.8% but the candle sends a warning: sellers take back the stage
Our view last week
Ecolab stock climbs 2% this week, with buyers back in control of daily volume after last week's pullback. The price is knocking on its 7-day high, in the 286.6 area, with the weekly MACD above its Signal line for 9 weeks running. This week's technical analysis shows Ecolab's buy signal in its 9th week, running at +4.65% since entry.
This week's summary
Ecolab closes the week up 1.8% and is back knocking on its recent highs, but the last session leaves a warning: sellers took control, and buyer dominance collapsed. The buy signal, now in its 10th week, is flagged by our model as losing steam. The weekly structure still holds up well and the Materials sector stays in a strength phase; profit stands at 6.55% and the stop has already moved to breakeven.
