Shell holds above support and keeps its buy signal alive

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Shell shares bounce 2% off their own 20-day moving average, in the 3280 area, and stay boxed into a very tight range: the first support sits a step away, in the 3311 area, and the resistance above, the 7-day high in the 3356 area, is barely 1% off. Weekly technical analysis confirms the buy signal, in its 4th week and already 2.6% in the money, with the setup quality indicator up to 84 out of 100 and the European energy sector in a firmly positive regime.

This week's summary

Shell is in the 5th week of a buy signal, up 5.36% since entry. The stock holds above its 50-week average with structural moving averages aligned: the underlying trend is intact. The pace, though, has turned more cautious, with contracting weekly volumes the only warning sign. Our desk sees a solid trade, not an explosive one: the stop already moved to breakeven zeroes out the risk, but conviction is not yet full.
