LIN technical analysis

NEUTRAL — price is below EMA20 but above EMA50 and EMA200, so weekly trend structure is mixed despite a bullish stack; confidence: high.

Price vs each weekly EMA

• – Latest weekly close: 483.73
• – vs EMA20 486.86: price is below by -0.64%
• – vs EMA50 482.48: price is above by 0.26%
• – vs EMA200 428.67: price is above by 12.84%

EMA stack

• – The stack is bullish: 20 > 50 > 200
• – That describes the weekly trend structure, not entry timing.

Golden / death cross

• – Last EMA50/EMA200 cross: none within the computable window
• – Nothing was found for a dated golden or death cross in the reported window.

What would change this read

• – A weekly close back above EMA20 486.86 would remove the current below-EMA20 condition.
• – A move below EMA50 482.48 would flip price back under the middle weekly EMA.
• – A breakdown below EMA200 428.67 would violate the long-term weekly support reference.

• – MACD vs signal line: MACD is -4.07 and signal is -1.25, so MACD is below the signal line in a bearish posture. The last signal-line crossover was bearish on 2026-07-20, which was 12 weeks ago.
• – Histogram: The histogram is -2.81, so it is negative. The 4-bar change is 3.8144, which means negative momentum is decelerating over that 4-bar window.
• – Zero line: MACD is below zero. The last zero-line cross was bearish on 2026-09-07, which was 5 weeks ago. This is separate from the signal-line crossover: the signal-line cross is the shorter-horizon momentum signal, while the zero-line cross marks the broader shift below zero.
• – Divergence checks: Nothing was found for bearish divergence. Nothing was found for bullish divergence.

What would change this read:

• – A move in MACD from -4.0652 to above the signal at -1.251 would change the MACD-versus-signal posture.
• – A move in MACD from -4.0652 to above 0 would remove the below-zero condition.
• – A bullish divergence would require a new confirmed price/MACD pivot relationship different from the current checks: 2026-06-29 close 546.64/macd 16.8443 -> 2026-08-24 close 489.51/macd 2.7136 and 2026-07-27 close 478.38/macd 10.1909 -> 2026-09-14 close 460.4/macd -3.8684.

• – Current RSI and state: The current weekly RSI(14) is 48.61, so it is neither overbought nor oversold; it is neutral.
• – Direction over the last four weeks: RSI was 39.89 four bars ago and is now 48.61, so the weekly RSI has been rising over the last four weeks.
• – Most recent 70/30 band event: The most recent band event was falling back below 70 on 2026-03-02, which was 32 bars ago.
• – Divergence checks: No bearish divergence was found on the last two price pivots, and no bullish divergence was found on the last two price pivots.

What would change this read

• – A move to RSI 70 or higher would change the overbought/neutral framing.
• – A move to RSI 30 or lower would change the oversold/neutral framing.
• – A drop back to the prior RSI reading of 39.89 would reverse the current four-week rising direction.

• – ATR value and % of price: ATR(14) is 19.84, which is 4.1% of the latest weekly close of 483.73. That means the stock’s typical weekly movement is about 4.1% of price.
• – Volatility versus eight weeks ago: ATR is lower than 23.79 eight bars ago, so volatility is contracting.
• – 1x and 2x ATR bands: The 1x ATR band from 463.89 to 503.57 describes a normal weekly range around the close. The 2x ATR band from 444.05 to 523.41 describes a wider expected weekly range. These are expected range boundaries, not price forecasts.

What would change this read

• – A move in ATR(14) back above 23.79 would show volatility expanding versus eight bars ago.
• – A weekly close outside 463.89 to 503.57 would mean price moved beyond the 1x ATR expected weekly range.
• – A weekly close outside 444.05 to 523.41 would mean price moved beyond the 2x ATR expected weekly range.

• – 52-week high and low: The 52-week high is 548.20, set on 2026-07-06. The 52-week low is 387.78, set on 2025-12-08.
• – Distance from each extreme: Weekly close 483.73 is 11.76% below the 52-week high and 24.74% above the 52-week low.
• – What the range position says: At 59.8% of the 52-week range, LIN sits above the midpoint of 467.99, meaning the weekly close is in the upper-middle of its longer-term cycle rather than near either boundary.

What would change this read

• – A move back to the 52-week high of 548.20 would shift the weekly position closer to the top of the range.
• – A move down toward the 52-week low of 387.78 would pull the weekly position back toward the bottom of the range.
• – A change in the distance metrics from -11.76% from the high or 24.74% above the low would materially alter the range read.
