SES stock rebounds over 2.5%, despite RSI in oversold territory at 25
The Luxembourg-based satellite operator is recovering ground on Monday, posting one of the strongest rallies on the index while the European market remains nearly stable. This rebound occurs in a deteriorated technical context, following several weeks of selling pressure that has significantly eroded the stock value over three months.
An intraday rebound that places the stock among the strongest gainers on the SBF 120
SES stock is up 2.64% to €4.90 during the session, compared to the previous close (Friday, September 4) at €4.774. This rebound places the stock among the strongest gainers on the SBF 120, in a nearly flat market: the CAC 40 is up 0.13% and the SBF 120 up 0.09% during the session. The stock is holding up particularly well given that the past week remains slightly in the red (-0.97% over seven days), and that the quarterly pressure remains crushing: the decline has reached nearly 41% over three months, highlighting the magnitude of accumulated losses.
An RSI in pronounced oversold territory, below three widely-spaced moving averages
The technical configuration remains deteriorated despite today's rebound. The price of €4.90 is well below the three moving averages: the 20-day MA at €5.13 (gap of -4.48%), the 50-day MA at €6.32 (-22.47%) and the 200-day MA at €6.56 (-25.30%). These gaps illustrate the magnitude of the downtrend established since spring, a period when the stock had already flirted with lows in extreme oversold territory at the end of August.
The RSI at 25 remains in marked oversold conditions, a level that reflects exhausted selling but does not in itself constitute a reversal signal as long as the price does not break back above its moving averages. The first resistance level to watch is at €7.24, representing an increase of nearly 48% from the current price, which illustrates the scale of the ground to be covered to recover positive momentum. The support at €4.63 remains the key level not to break to the downside to consolidate this rebound.
