4dmedical

4dmedical closed at $4.05, 46.4% below its $7.55 52-week high and 189.3% above the $1.40 low. On the two-year chart the stock advanced from a sub-$1 base in mid-2025 to a peak in April 2026, fell back sharply in May, and has since moved sideways in a broad range of roughly $3 to $4.70 — so the larger picture is a range, not an advance. Inside that range, a September 8 to September 18 swing from $3.35 to $4.31 put the SMA5 > SMA20 > SMA60 ordering in place on September 30, and the past week has been a pullback from the $4.36 close of October 1 back to the 20-day line. Friday's close re-took both SMA20 and SMA60 on quiet volume, while a fresh MACD dead cross, a bearish RSI divergence and an ADX of 16.0 temper the read; on the other side, OBV shows a bullish divergence at the pullback low.

Snapshot as of October 9, 2026

① Price & Moving Averages

The two-year chart sets the frame: after the April 2026 peak and the May drop, price has spent five months inside a broad range of roughly $3 to $4.70, and the SMA60 at $3.794 has flattened rather than rising. Within that, the 90-day view shows a September 8 low at $3.35, a jump to $4.31 on September 18, and a higher close of $4.36 on October 1. That swing produced the SMA20 > SMA60 crossover and the full SMA5 > SMA20 > SMA60 ordering on September 30.

The pullback since October 1 took price back below the 23.6% retracement of the Sep 8–Sep 18 swing ($4.08) and to $3.95 on October 8, just above the 38.2% level ($3.94). Friday's $4.05 close re-established price above both SMA20 and SMA60. The 50% retracement ($3.83) coincides almost exactly with the 90-day anchored VWAP ($3.830), and an unfilled gap from September 18 sits at $3.80–$3.89 — a layered support zone under the 20-day line. On the two-year Fibonacci (Apr 10 high $6.80 to Apr 30 low $4.01), the 23.6% retracement at $4.67 is the first overhead reference beyond the recent highs.

One piece of context on the September 18 bar: it fell on the S&P/ASX September quarterly rebalance trading day, when market-wide volume was elevated (universe median about 2.28× normal). 4DX was already an ASX 200 member before that date, and on a market-adjusted basis the bar's volume was about 1.46× rather than the raw 3.25×. The twenty-day-high break and the swing high that anchor this pullback both date from that bar.

② Volume

Friday's 2,471,014 shares were 0.62× the 20-day average of 3,963,793. The whole ASX was quiet in the week (universe median volume ratios of 0.45× to 0.81×), so adjusted for that the bar was about 0.84× typical participation — at or below normal, not heavy. The 20-day average itself has drifted lower through September and October.

The higher-participation bars of the swing came on September 30 (+4.17%, about 1.34× market-adjusted) and October 1 (+2.59%, about 2.19×). The October 5 drop of 6.22% was on 0.74× raw volume, about 1.63× market-adjusted — noticeable, but well short of a heavy-volume break. No public catalyst was identified for these bars. The pullback days since then have been on lighter volume, which is consistent with a pause rather than distribution, but the recovery bar on Friday has not yet drawn volume either.

③ MACD

MACD crossed above its signal line on September 15 from below zero, rose above zero, and peaked in early October. On October 8 it crossed back below the signal line: the current values are 0.0879 for MACD, 0.1038 for the signal and −0.0159 for the histogram. Both lines remain above zero, so this is a loss of momentum within a positive reading rather than a shift to negative territory. A pullback that resolves upward would normally show the histogram shrinking back toward zero first; a widening negative histogram would point to a deeper retracement.

④ RSI

RSI(14) is 53.0, back near the midline after peaking in the low 60s. A bearish divergence is flagged: price closed at $4.31 with RSI 63.92 on September 18, then at a higher $4.36 with RSI 62.96 on October 1. The gap between the two RSI readings is small, and the pullback since then has already worked off some of the momentum it described. A divergence is a possibility of a top, not a confirmation; it would gain weight if price closed below the 20-day line and the September lows came into play, and it would lose relevance on a new closing high above $4.36 with RSI above 63.92.

⑤ Mansfield Relative Strength

Mansfield RS versus the S&P/ASX 200 reads +11.9%, above zero with a rising slope tag. Against the prior week (+21.55) it has given back 9.69 points — positive but slowing — while against a month ago (−2.92) it is 14.77 points higher, having crossed back above zero during the September swing. On the two-year chart RS has compressed steadily from the very high readings of late 2025 to near zero over the summer, so the current reading is modest outperformance rather than leadership.

⑥ ATR & ADX

ATR(14) is $0.230, or 5.7% of price — a wide daily range for a stock at this level, though ATR has been trending lower since the summer. That puts the 1×ATR reference at $3.82 and the 2×ATR technical invalidation level at $3.59, 11.4% under the close. ADX is 16.0 (15.7 on the two-year frame), below the 20 threshold: the market is not in a directional regime, and the moving-average ordering is forming inside a range rather than confirming a trend.

⑦ OBV

On the 90-day frame OBV is tagged accumulation — above its MA20 with a rising slope — and a bullish OBV divergence is flagged: price made a lower close of $3.95 on October 8 against $3.99 on September 28, while OBV made a higher reading (−2,585,170 versus −4,275,394). On the two-year frame OBV is tagged early accumulation, 0.41% above its MA20 with a flat slope. The two oscillators therefore point in opposite directions — RSI bearish on the highs, OBV bullish on the pullback low — and neither is confirmed by price yet. The 90-day OBV-to-MA20 gap of 88.94% reflects an MA20 close to zero and is not a measure of strength.

Bull Case vs Bear Case

Scenarios

Key Levels & Volatility References

What to Watch

• The $4.01 SMA20. Friday's close re-took it by four cents. Closes that hold above it keep the pullback shallow; a slip back under it puts the $3.80–$3.89 support layer in play.
• The MACD histogram. At −0.0159 after the Oct 8 dead cross. A narrowing toward zero would suggest the pullback is ending; a widening would argue for a deeper retracement.
• The two divergences. A close above $4.36 with RSI over 63.92 would erase the bearish RSI divergence; a close below $3.95 would undo the bullish OBV divergence.
• Volume on up days. The recovery bar came on below-typical volume. A rise through $4.08 on above-average participation would carry more weight.
• ADX through 20. At 16.0 there is no directional regime; a turn up would indicate the moving-average ordering is becoming a trend.
