Usiminas drops 7.9% and slips below its 50-week average

October 16, 2026

Our view last week

The test we flagged a week ago came back negative: Usiminas climbed to its 20-week average, in the 7.6 area, and was turned away firmly, ending the week down 2.4%. Usiminas stock still holds above its 50-week average, which survived a direct touch. The weekly technical analysis leaves the question open: the MACD is still below its Signal line and price action reads as a distribution phase. For swing trading, the game is played between those two levels.

This week's summary

Usiminas stock drops 7.9% in a full distribution phase and slips below its 50-week average, which held a week ago. Price closed below the first stop level (SL1) flagged in last week's card (6.82 area): for anyone following that level the trade is closed. The close and the Inversion Point, in the 6.8 area, have already crossed with no change of sign declared: one to watch in the coming sessions.
