Note: Price above both SMAs ($5.83 50-day, $4.51 250-day) for a full trend score. Momentum just turned bullish — MACD crossed back above signal by a thin margin, ROC +6.01 confirms. ADX at 22.13 is the closest any tanker name gets to the 25 trend-strength threshold this week, worth watching. Volatility has structurally stepped up this year (ATR near 0.26 vs a low-0.10s base) but isn't flagged as a fresh spike.

Nordic American Tankers' daily chart shows price back above both the 50-day ($5.83) and 250-day ($4.51) moving averages after a thin MACD crossover confirms the recovery, with ROC at +6.01 backing the move. The standout here is ADX at 22.13 — the closest any name in the tanker complex gets to the 25 trend-strength threshold this week, worth watching closely for a genuine breakout signal if it clears that level. Volatility has structurally stepped up this year, with ATR running near 0.26 versus a low-0.10s base earlier in the cycle, though it isn't registering as a fresh spike right now. Of the names in this batch, NAT is the one closest to actually confirming a real trend, not just a directional drift.
