Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what RSG's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. RSG trades near $204.36, below its 50-day average ($207.71) and 200-day average ($216.15). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 55 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. RSG's is $4.11 (~2.0% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month RSG found buyers near $197.62 (support) and sellers near $214.32 (resistance); its 52-week range is $196.41–$251.17. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.3× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

The case for RSG:
- Strong return on equity (18.1%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~4.7%) funds buybacks and dividends.
