Trend: EMA 20 / 50 / 200

Neutral, high confidence Week of October 2, 2026

NEUTRAL — weekly price is above EMA20 and EMA50 but below EMA200, with a mixed/transitioning stack; confidence high.

  • – Price vs EMA20: The latest weekly close is 214.06, which is above EMA20 at 204.80 by 4.52%.
  • – Price vs EMA50: The latest weekly close is 214.06, which is above EMA50 at 203.46 by 5.21%.
  • – Price vs EMA200: The latest weekly close is 214.06, which is below EMA200 at 217.36 by -1.52%.
  • – EMA stack: mixed / transitioning. This describes trend structure, not entry timing.
  • – Cross: a death cross on EMA50/EMA200 occurred on 2025-03-24, 80 bars ago.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly close above EMA200 at "217.36" would remove the current below-EMA200 condition.
  • – A loss of the EMA20 relationship at "204.8" would end the current above-EMA20 condition.
  • – A loss of the EMA50 relationship at "203.46" would end the current above-EMA50 condition.

Momentum: MACD (12, 26, 9)

Bullish, high confidence Week of October 2, 2026

BULLISH — MACD 5.33 is above signal 3.06 and above zero, with a bullish signal-line crossover on 2026-06-22; confidence: high.

MACD vs signal line

MACD is 5.33 versus signal 3.06, so MACD is above its signal line in a bullish posture. The last signal-line crossover was bullish on 2026-06-22, which was 15 bars ago.

Histogram

The histogram is positive at 2.27. Its 4-bar change is -0.2942, so momentum is decelerating over that lookback even while staying positive.

Zero line

MACD is above zero. The last zero-line cross was bullish on 2026-08-17, which was 7 bars ago. This is a separate signal from the signal-line crossover and has a different horizon.

Divergence checks

  • – Bearish divergence check: none. The reported pivot sequence was 2026-08-17 close 218.85 / macd 1.8981 -> 2026-09-21 close 224.49 / macd 4.9989.
  • – Bullish divergence check: none. The reported pivot sequence was 2026-07-20 close 191.5 / macd -2.5387 -> 2026-09-07 close 200.14 / macd 3.0163.

What would change this read

  • – A move that takes MACD below 3.0649 would remove the current MACD-above-signal posture.
  • – A move that takes MACD below zero would end the above-zero weekly MACD condition.
  • – A new divergence report different from none in either the bearish or bullish check would change the divergence read.

Strength: RSI (14)

Neutral, high confidence Week of October 2, 2026

NEUTRAL — weekly RSI(14) is 55.68, which is neutral and rising; confidence: high.

  • – Current weekly RSI(14) is 55.68.
  • – That is neutral, not overbought and not oversold.
  • – RSI 4 bars ago was 50.70.
  • – The current reading is higher, so the weekly RSI has been rising over the last four weeks.
  • – The most recent band event was recovered above 30 on 2026-05-18.
  • – That occurred 20 bars ago.
  • – Bearish divergence: found.
  • – Last two price pivots were 2026-08-17 close 218.85 / RSI 62.05 -> 2026-09-21 close 224.49 / RSI 61.52.
  • – This is a bearish divergence because price made a higher high while RSI made a lower high.
  • – Bullish divergence: nothing was found.
  • – The check reported none: 2026-07-20 close 191.50 / RSI 48.81 -> 2026-09-07 close 200.14 / RSI 50.70 did not qualify as bullish divergence.
  • – A weekly RSI move to "70" or higher would shift the indicator into overbought territory.
  • – A weekly RSI move to "30" or lower would shift the indicator into oversold territory.
  • – A weekly RSI back below "50.7" would reverse the current rising 4-bar direction.

Volatility: ATR (14)

Volatility contracting, high confidence Week of September 25, 2026

CONTRACTING, volatility is contracting compared to 8 weeks ago, high confidence.

The current weekly ATR(14) for DHR is 13.06, representing 5.82% of the latest weekly close of 224.49. This value indicates the average weekly trading range DHR has experienced over the past 14 weeks.

Compared to eight weeks ago, when the ATR was 14.44, current volatility is contracting. This suggests that the average weekly price movement has decreased over this period.

The 1x ATR band suggests that a normal weekly trading range for DHR would be between 211.43 and 237.55. Extending this, the 2x ATR band indicates that a wider, yet still plausible, weekly range could be observed between 198.37 and 250.61. These bands define expected weekly price movement, not a forecast of future price direction.

What would change this read

A change in the weekly ATR(14) above 14.44 would signal expanding volatility. Conversely, a further contraction of the weekly ATR(14) significantly below 13.06 would indicate even lower expected weekly price movement. A substantial shift in the latest weekly close from 224.49 would also alter the percentage of price represented by the ATR.

52-week range

Neutral, high confidence Week of October 2, 2026

NEUTRAL — DHR is in the upper half of its 52-week weekly range but still below the high, with price 11.84% off the peak and 33.01% above the low; confidence medium.

  • – 52-week high: 242.80 set on 2026-01-19
  • – 52-week low: 160.93 set on 2026-05-11
  • – Latest weekly close is 11.84% below the 52-week high.
  • – Latest weekly close is 33.01% above the 52-week low.
  • – The midpoint of the 52-week range is 201.86, and the latest weekly close of 214.06 is above that midpoint.
  • – Position in the 52-week range is 64.9% on a scale where 0% is the low and 100% is the high.
  • – That places DHR in the upper-middle part of its weekly 52-week range, closer to the high than the low, which indicates a recovery phase rather than a full-range breakout or a weak-range অবস্থান.
  • – A move toward the 52-week high at 242.80 would push the stock closer to the top of the range.
  • – A drop back toward the 52-week low at 160.93 would materially weaken the range position.
  • – A move back below the midpoint of 201.86 would shift the weekly read from upper-half positioning toward the lower half of the range.
