The S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 have made new multiyear lows this week. That helps draw attention to the price action in today’s stock, which has been fighting higher all year: Archer Daniels Midland.
The grain processor bottomed in mid-July, followed by a higher low in late September. It also managed to hold its 200-day simple moving average (SMA). (Did you know only 15 percent of the S&P 500’s members were above their 200-day SMAs yesterday, according to TradeStation data?)
It then jumped to begin October and managed to hold the higher level despite the broader market rolling over. That is a potential sign of relative strength.
The current price zone also establishes ADM back above it 50-day SMA, which could suggest the bulls are taking charge.
Finally, this chart includes our 2 MA Ratio custom script. It has the default settings of the 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). Notice how the indicator just turned green, signifying the faster EMA has crossed above the slower EMA.
