Shorter-term moving averages, such as the 50-day line, have also tended to track above the 200-day line in recent weeks, a configuration technicians often describe as supportive for the prevailing trend. Recent daily ranges have narrowed compared with earlier in the year, indicating somewhat softer volatility.
