Highlights

BBVA trades at €18.13, above MA-20 (€16.99), MA-50 (€16.45), and MA-200 (€13.95), indicating a strong bullish technical outlook across all timeframes.
BBVA reported higher quarterly net profit and revenue, unveiled an increased dividend and new share buyback, and received regulatory approval for its Sabadell takeover.
Momentum indicators like MACD, ADX, and RSI confirm bullish strength with a greater than 80% probability of further price gains toward the €18.50–€19.00 range, though intraday oscillators signal overbought risk.

Shareholder returns and M&A drive sentiment after robust earnings

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria recently reported growth in net profit and revenue for the latest quarter, marking a solid financial performance. The company announced an increase in shareholder remuneration through a new share buyback program and a higher dividend payout. BBVA also received regulatory approval for its takeover offer for Sabadell, and updated investors on its ongoing investment in digital banking and fintech partnerships.

Overbought intraday as bullish momentum tests upper boundaries

Momentum indicators show a positive backdrop: MACD and ADX both confirm upward strength on daily and weekly timeframes. RSI sits at 60.03 (D1) and 73.85 (W1), indicating the uptrend still has room but is nearing overbought territory. The Stoch RSI and CCI reflect intraday overbought conditions, which alongside the high BBP (0.67), highlight buyers dominating the day. The Awesome Oscillator also supports continued bullish momentum. Today, BBVA gapped up at the open (€17.80 vs. previous close of €17.47), and the current price is at the top end of today’s range (€17.72 — €18.12), signaling strong upward pressure and heightened intraday volatility. There is clear strength toward the highs, though oscillators suggest a risk of a near-term pause or pullback due to stretched short-term conditions.

High breakout odds as consolidation faces overbought risks

For the coming week, the expected trading range is €17.60 to €19.00, keeping within the typical volatility band for a blue-chip bank stock. Based on overwhelmingly positive readings for RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50 (all “Buy” on weekly charts), the probability of an additional price increase is very high (more than 80%), while a decline is much less likely. The baseline scenario sees BBVA consolidating sideways around €18.10 — €18.50. A bullish scenario would see a sustained breakout above €19.00, while a bearish scenario would trigger if the price falls below strong support at €17.60. Overall, momentum remains robust, but short-term overbought signals call for vigilance against a possible brief pullback.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees BBVA’s technical outlook remain firmly bullish, with strong indicator momentum and price action above key averages. However, he warns that recent overbought conditions and elevated volatility warrant caution, especially after a strong gap up. Kharitonov underscores that solid fundamentals and positive sentiment support the trend, yet the risk of a short-term pause has grown. "Base case is sideways-to-higher near €18.10 — €18.50, but until €17.60 is broken, I remain defensive and alert for a pullback."
