Shell's buy signal holds, but caution creeps in
Our view last week
Shell stock triggers a new Buy signal in a breakout week: technical analysis shows the price up 6.5%, clearing its 7-day high and bouncing 4% off its own 50-day moving average. Just a week ago the 13-week Sell signal was losing steam, with buyers suddenly back in control; that shift has now turned into a fresh long entry. Setup quality stays ordinary, 52 out of 100, and in this weekly technical analysis Shell ranks 4th among the 6 fresh European Longs.
This week's summary
Clearing its 7-day high and stringing together a fourth week of higher lows from 2860 toward 3110: that's how the week closes, up 2.1%, in the confirmation week of the buy signal that fired on Shell seven days ago. The stock is holding the signal, but our model spots early weakness beneath the surface — a distribution phase underway and an unconvincing last candle — and this weekly technical analysis recommends a cautious trim to lock in part of the gain.
