Southwest Gas holds steady at $87.12

Highlights

SWX is facing short- to medium-term selling pressure, trading below key moving averages but holding above longer-term support.
Momentum indicators show weakness and dominance of sellers, though weekly signals suggest low probability of further downside.
SWX is expected to consolidate between $86.71 and $88.42, with a bullish scenario emerging on a break above immediate resistance.

Seller pressure persists as price holds above long-term support

SWX is trading at $87.12, below the MA-20 ($87.86) and MA-50 ($89.60), indicating short- to medium-term seller pressure, while staying above the MA-200 ($84.07), which signals long-term support remains intact. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $87.59 sits above the current price, acting as immediate resistance. Near-term support is seen at the MA-200 ($84.07), with key support at the MA-100 ($87.97). Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun ($87.59) and key resistance by the MA-50 ($89.60).

Weak momentum and steady losses reinforce recent downtrend

Momentum remains weak, with MACD (D1) signaling a strong sell and ADX (D1) neutral at low levels, implying trend softness. RSI (D1) sits at 44.52 in the lower neutral zone, while Stoch RSI and CCI are both neutral, showing no overbought/oversold extremes. BBP (D1) is oversold at 0.06, indicating sellers dominate short-term action. The Awesome Oscillator (D1) is neutral and does not strongly confirm the downtrend. SWX has declined $1.89 (2.11%) from last week's close at $89.01. The price stands in the lower part of the weekly range, with weekly volatility at 3.33%. The tone for the week has been a steady decline from the high, with momentum signals reinforcing this weak performance.

High upside probability as bullish signals limit downside risk

For the coming week, the expected trading range is $86.71 to $88.42, bordering the middle of SWX's 52-week extremes ($72.43–$94.41). Based on W1 indicators—RSI (Buy), MACD (Strong Buy), MA-50 (Buy), and a neutral ADX—there is a very high probability (more than 80%) of a price increase, making further downside less likely. The baseline scenario sees SWX consolidating sideways between support and resistance. A bullish scenario would materialize if the price breaks above the immediate resistance at $87.59, opening targets toward the MA-50 ($89.60). A bearish scenario arises if support at $84.07 fails, with the potential for a test of deeper long-term levels, though this is currently an unlikely outcome.
