BUY now (tactical entry): SHC is trading near key support (~18.03) after a pullback, while fundamentals and Wall Street sentiment have recently improved materially (multiple Outperform/Overweight calls with $24 targets). Despite short-term bearish momentum (negative MACD) and elevated put open interest (defensive positioning), the setup favors an oversold bounce and re-rating potential. For an impatient buyer, the risk/reward is attractive at ~18.13 with nearby support and clear upside back toward ~19.20 then ~19.56.
Price/Trend: SHC at 18.125 (-1.09%) is sitting just above S1 support (18.026) and below the pivot (18.613), indicating it’s currently in the lower end of its near-term range. Momentum: MACD histogram is negative (-0.171) and expanding lower -> bearish momentum still active. RSI: RSI_6 at 25.593 implies short-term oversold conditions (bounce-prone), even though the provided label says “neutral.” Moving Averages: Converging moving averages suggest consolidation; the next directional break likely matters. Key levels: Support 18.03 then 17.66; resistance 18.61 (pivot) then 19.20 (R1) and 19.56 (R2).
