Airbus Stock Rebounds by 2.57% but Its RSI Indicates Extreme Overselling
Airbus shares saw a significant rise this Monday midday, amidst a sharp rebound in European markets following the announcement of a de-escalation between Washington and Tehran. The stock is up 2.57% at €165.06, after closing at €160.92 on Friday. This surge comes as the stock shows a nearly 16% decline over three months.
Market Reversal Following US-Iran Detente
This Monday, Airbus's stock benefits from the sudden easing of tensions between the United States and Iran, after Donald Trump described the ongoing discussions with Tehran as 'very successful', leading to a postponement of the initially planned military strikes. This announcement caused a sharp turnaround in the Paris markets: the CAC 40, which was down more than 2% in the morning due to geopolitical fears, is now up 0.61% at 7,712.03 points during the session. The SBF 120 follows the same trend, up 0.63% at 5,844.02 points.
In the industrial sector, other stocks are also benefiting from the movement. Safran is up by 1.56% while Schneider Electric is up by 2.91%. However, for Airbus, today's recovery does not offset the recent erosion of the stock, which is still down 1.97% over the last seven days. The general assembly scheduled for April 14 and the publication of first-quarter results on April 28 will be the next major milestones for the aerospace group.
Technical Perspective: Airbus's RSI at Extreme Lows
From a technical standpoint, Airbus's Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 20, a level that usually indicates a marked overselling condition. This indicator, which oscillates between 0 and 100, signals excessive selling pressure when it falls below the 30 threshold. Concurrently, the current price of €165.06 is significantly below the 50-day moving average, set at €190.45, confirming a medium-term downtrend. Last Friday's close at €160.92 precisely matches the support level identified by graphical analysis.
Monday's rebound brings the stock above this level, but the gap with the technical resistance, located at €200.65, remains considerable. The 200-day moving average, at €190.75, converges with the 50-day average, highlighting the magnitude of the drop suffered over the past three months. Over a year, Airbus's performance remains almost neutral, at -0.22%, after a strong correction during the first quarter of 2026.
