Tier Analysis

RSI < 25 — Extreme Oversold: None.

RSI 25–40 — Approaching Oversold / Watch Zone:

  • LYB (34.9): Most depressed name — RSI 34.9, -6.6% vs SMA20, -14.7% 30D, -25.4% from 52wk high. Commodity polyolefin/refining exposure; golden cross still technically active but price rolling over. Approaching entry zone but not yet confirmed bottom. Watch for RSI < 30.
  • DOW (36.8): Similar commodity-chemicals setup — RSI 36.8, -4.5% vs SMA20, -13.7% 30D, -22.9% from 52wk high. Golden cross active; weak-down trend. Both DOW/LYB in macro-demand compression from slowing manufacturing. Not falling-knife territory yet but approaching.

RSI 40–55 — Neutral / Basing:

  • APD (43.1): Industrial gases — RSI 43.1, slightly below SMA20 (-0.9%), -4.4% 30D, -8.9% from high. Basing regime. Cleaner than DOW/LYB; -8.9% from 52wk high is not a severe discount. Golden cross active. Watch for RSI dip into 35–38 for better entry.
  • DD (51.8): Near-neutral RSI, +0.9% vs SMA20, flat 30D (-1.2%). Strong-up trend with golden cross; 1Y alpha of +49%. Quietly holding while peers weaken. Best setup of the mid-RSI group.

RSI 55–70 — Extended / Hold or Caution:

  • LIN (57.4): Sector's highest-quality chart — strong-up, golden cross, -1.5% from 52wk high, +96.6% 5Y. RSI 57.4 is reasonable for a quality hold. No add needed at current level; thesis intact.
  • ECL (63.9): Water/hygiene compounder — +9.9% 30D, +6.6% vs SMA20, RSI 63.9. Death cross active technically but price above all moving averages. -11.5% from high. Hold.
  • PPG (65.5): Strongest recent momentum in group — +16.4% 30D, +16.9% 3M, RSI 65.5, +7.1% vs SMA20. Golden cross, strong-up trend. Extended; don't add here.
  • SHW (59.7): RSI 59.7 but in a downtrend regime (SHW200 $333 vs current $322) — death cross, -15% from 52wk high, negative 1Y alpha (-30%). RSI is misleading here; structural trend is down. Caution.

DD $48.04 Hold / add dip to $45 51.8 -1.2% 🔍 Watch Quietly strong 1Y (+76.7%); best mid-RSI setup; hold or add dip

HOLD — Quality Compounders

AVOID — Overextended or Broken

Stock Current Zone RSI 30D% Action Notes

Action Matrix

Action Stocks Why
🔒 HOLD LIN, ECL Quality compounders; hold; no add at current RSI
🔍 WATCH DOW, LYB RSI 35–37, approaching oversold; set alert for RSI < 30 before entry
🔍 WATCH DD, APD Mid-RSI basing; DD has 1Y alpha edge; APD needs deeper dip
⚠️ AVOID PPG RSI 65.5, +16% 30D — extended; wait for pullback
⚠️ CAUTION SHW RSI 59 but structural downtrend; don't let RSI mislead

What Changed

  • DOW/LYB -13 to -15% 30D — commodity chemicals bear case deepening; both approaching but not yet at RSI < 30 entry trigger
  • PPG +16% 30D — strongest performer, RSI 65.5; most surprising mover in a bifurcated sector
  • LIN holding near 52wk high (-1.5%) — quality advantage confirmed; only name in sector within 2% of highs
  • SHW RSI 59.7 but downtrend intact — RSI misleads on a name with death cross and negative 1Y alpha; structure matters more
  • DD 1Y alpha +49% — quiet outperformer in the group; basing at mid-RSI while commodity peers roll over
