Hungarian Equities - Technical Analysis
The BUX index broke its rising market structure last week, suggesting that the prolonged upward wave may have come to an end. MOL has also remained in correction phase since the dividend payment and has now fallen below the 5,000 level, leaving the next significant support considerably lower. Richter found support around 12,180, but no convincing reversal signal has been confirmed yet. Magyar Telekom continues to trade within an increasingly narrow range, with a high-momentum session likely needed to provide short-term direction. Opus remains in a downtrend. Rába is also moving within a broad trading range, although another upward wave could develop later if the necessary technical conditions are met.
The major European equity indices generated sell signals over the past week, and the broader market backdrop continues to deteriorate. In such an environment, momentum-based reversal setups tend to perform poorly. While it is always possible to identify stocks that meet quantitative screening criteria, additional technical factors often make them unsuitable investment candidates. Overall, this is not an ideal market environment for seeking long opportunities. Nevertheless, today's list includes one stock that continues to present a constructive technical picture. Swisscom AG, Switzerland's leading telecommunications and IT services provider, offers an attractive combination of defensive characteristics and a high dividend yield. The company provides mobile, broadband internet, television, and fixed-line services to retail customers, while also maintaining a significant presence in enterprise IT services, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and digital solutions.
Best rated European stocks based on momentum ranking
Compelling technical picture:
Swisscom (daily): The stock has recently turned higher and appears to have established a new upward trend. The 625 equivalent support zone proved to be a key level during the correction and successfully held, resulting in a significantly higher low. Over recent trading sessions, the stock has resumed a trend-like advance, suggesting that further upside potential remains. A minor resistance area can be found near 688, but the broader technical setup points to a potential advance toward the 750 region.
List of stocks with a chance of a turnaround in the coming weeks

The momentum model supports the creation of a technical based stock list that helps to find shorter-term trading opportunities. The model can be used to identify stocks that show reversal signals following more sustained falls/underperformance. We examine one-year, six-month, three-month, one-month and five-day momentum values, which are used to rank the stocks under consideration. The higher a stock is ranked in the order, the better it technically performs relative to the others. The change in the ranking over time is used to determine the life cycle of the stock.
- In the first table, we collect the stocks that show the most attractive picture compared to the others in a given week based on momentum factors, of which those are also presented in a separate chart where a favourable situation can be identified based on additional technical analysis tools.
- In the second table, we list the stocks that are already worthy of being placed in watchlist status. They are not among the best performers, but they have the potential to improve and signal a turnaround in a few days or weeks.
- In the third table, we have also collected the more popular stocks to help identify their position in the momentum order.
The report shows the results of a technical - quantitative based stock screening, which does not examine the fundamental background/value of the companies. For this reason, risk management/position sizing rules should be designed accordingly.
