First Solar stock: signal fires after an 18.5% weekly bounce
Fresh buy signal, up 18.5% in a week
Our view last week
First Solar bounces 4.0% this week, with 71% of volume on the buy side: a sharp change of pace from last week's -4.3%, when 87% of trading sat on the sell side. The underlying picture doesn't turn, though: the ADX keeps sliding to 22.5, the MACD stays below zero with the histogram widening lower, and the CMF slips deeper into negative. Price action shows a pronounced distribution phase: the bounce has the feel of a technical pause, trend losing steam without changing direction.
This week's summary
First Solar bounces off its daily EMA20 and closes the week up 18.5%, with the tech sector in full swing: the XLK ETF gains 7.2% this week. First Solar stock joins this week's fresh buy signals, ranking first among the 20 new US stock Longs, with a Signal Strength of 76 out of 100. The weekly picture stays bullish, though two technical flags — fading body conviction, a pronounced distribution phase — call for reading the bounce with some caution.
