Market Trend Overview for JBL
One model, two time views: what the market looks like right now, and where the larger trend is heading over time.
This model looks at how prices behave over time to describe the current market environment. It focuses on whether price is moving steadily, stalling, or losing momentum, and checks both short-term and weekly trends for confirmation. The goal is not to predict exact prices, but to help understand when conditions are supportive, risky, or unclear.
Current Market Context (Short-Term)

Why the market looks this way?
Prices have moved back and forth over recent sessions without making steady progress. Trend signals have changed frequently, which suggests the market is stuck in a range. In this environment, chasing moves in either direction is less reliable.
Longer-Term Market Trend (Mid to Long Term)
Shows the bigger market trend, how strong it is, and where risks may start to build over the next few weeks or months. — Updated as of 2026-02-06 (ET)
As of 2026-02-06, JBL is moving sideways with low volatility. Over the longer term, the trend remains bullish.
JBL last closed at 258.25. The price is about 3.4 ATR above its recent average price (240.45), and the market is currently in a sideways market with low volatility.
Price is moving in a tight range. This often leads to a stronger move once the range breaks, increasing one-sided risk.
Trend score: 40 out of 100. Overall alignment is unclear. The market is currently in a sideways phase with tightening price movement. The longer-term trend is still positive, but short-term signals are not yet confirming it.
Price is far from its recent average (about 3.4 ATR away). Chasing the move at this level carries a higher risk of a pullback.
A key downside level is near 210.24. If price falls below this area, the current upward trend would likely weaken or break.
On 2026-01-30, trend conditions deteriorated, suggesting that moves in the prior direction became less dependable.
