Short-term bearish tilt as price holds above medium-term supports

WM is trading below the MA-20 ($235.29), indicating short-term bearish pressure, but remains above the MA-50 ($225.25) and MA-200 ($223.14), suggesting that medium- and long-term uptrends are still intact. The Ichimoku Kijun ($233.13) is above the current price ($228.20) and marks immediate resistance, with near-term support at the MA-50 ($225.25) and key support at the MA-200 ($223.14), while resistance is set by the Ichimoku Kijun as the nearest level and the MA-20 as key resistance.

Mixed momentum with oversold signals as weekly decline extends

Momentum signals are mixed on D1, with MACD indicating strong bullish divergence, while ADX shows a mild uptrend. RSI (43.08), CCI (–161.25), and Stoch RSI all reveal oversold conditions, indicating a rebound could be due, but the BBP at –4.01 confirms sellers retain short-term control. Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not reinforce the primary trend. WM is trading at $228.20, down from $238.75 at the start of the week, reflecting a 4.42% decline. The price sits at the very bottom of the weekly range, with weekly volatility at 8.20%. The week has been marked by a steady decline from the highs, and downside momentum aligns with the weak close.

Downside risk favored as probability of rebound remains low

The expected range for the coming week is $229.50 to $234.80, contained within the recent volatility band and well above the 52-week low ($194.11) but still far from the 52-week high ($248.10). The probability of a price increase is very low (less than 20%), making a further decline more likely. Baseline scenario: WM trades sideways within the $229.50 to $234.80 range, finding support at recent lows. Bullish scenario: Price breaks above $234.80, challenging the Ichimoku Kijun and MA-20 resistance, possibly extending toward mid-$230s. Bearish scenario: Price falls below $229.50, with risk of testing key supports near $225.25 (MA-50) and $223.14 (MA-200) if seller momentum persists.

Previously it was reported that Waste Management stock exhibited a strong bullish trend, backed by technical indicators and stable demand.
