Sell signal · week 3 · New York Stock Exchange
MP Materials drops 3.8% and loses its 100-week average, with a fresh 30-day low
Our view last week
MP Materials closed the week with a 3.3% bounce, but beneath the surface the price action tells another story: sellers still lead the weekly bar and the distribution phase carries on. The sell signal that fired seven days ago has lost its push, though, with no new lows. Technical analysis of MP Materials stock counsels caution among US mining stocks: price stays below the 50-week average and the quality band flags trading as not recommended.
This week's summary
MP Materials wiped out last week's bounce: the stock fell 3.8%, printed a fresh 30-day low in the 44.5 area and now sits below its 100-week average. Yet the weekly bar closed in the upper half of its range, after 5 straight closes in the lower half. Technical analysis of MP Materials stock shows the sell signal back to making lower lows, but the price action argues for caution: among US stocks, and for swing trading, our model still rates new positions as not recommended.
