End of Week Charts — Dry Bulk
Saturday, 8 August 2026 · First edition · Chart-monitoring only — not investment advice
The first full Dry Bulk edition of End of Week Charts, covering all 13 tracked names — thirteen first-ever entries. Diana Shipping opens the sector at a perfect 100/100, the only fully-confirmed read across trend, momentum, trend strength, and volatility. Safe Bulkers is the only other name to clear the ADX 25 trend-strength threshold. Star Bulk, Genco, Navios Partners, Seanergy, Breakwave’s freight-futures ETF, and CMB.TECH all open Green or Yellow on intact trend and constructive-to-mixed momentum. Castor Maritime is the one split read in the batch — price sits just under both moving averages even as momentum has turned up sharply. EuroDry posts the sector’s most volatile single session, up roughly 14% on the day, which costs it the volatility category despite a strongly bullish trend and momentum picture. Costamare Bulkers opens as the weakest name at 30/Red after a roughly 4% decline pushed it back below its own 50-day average with momentum already broken down. No LNG comparison yet — that sector's first edition is scheduled for a coming Saturday.
