Domino's Pizza Enterprises

Domino's Pizza Enterprises closed at $22.20 on October 9, 9.7% below the $24.58 52-week high and 53.2% above the $14.49 52-week low, after setting new 20-session highs on three consecutive days (Oct 7, 8 and 9). The two-year chart is a long decline from the mid-$30s in late 2024 to a low near $13 in October 2025, a sharp recovery to the $24 area in January 2026, a second slide into a $15–$16 base through May–July, and a recovery since then. The short-term structure has turned up — full moving-average ordering and a MACD golden cross both date from Sep 30 — and relative strength against the S&P/ASX 200 is at its highest level of the two-year window. Against that, the move came without a company announcement to explain it, price now sits above the upper Bollinger Band with RSI at 69.5, and OBV has not confirmed the new price high.

Snapshot as of October 9, 2026

① Price & Moving Averages

The two-year frame is dominated by a long decline: from the mid-$30s in late 2024 the share price fell to a low near $13 in October 2025, rebounded sharply to the $24 area by late January 2026 (the $24.58 52-week high was set on Jan 22), then slid again. That second slide included two large single-day drops outside the current window — Feb 25 (−11.1%) and Apr 28 (−10.7%) — and ended in a base around $15–$16 through May to July. SMA60 on the two-year chart only turned back up in the third quarter, and the current price is still well below the levels of early 2026. There are no unfilled gaps on either frame.

On the 90-day frame, a Jul 30 jump (+9.1%) lifted price out of that base, and a range of roughly $18.80–$20.90 followed through August and September, including an Aug 26 drop (−6.4% on about 4.4× volume — the anchor of the 90-day aVWAP at $19.75). The timing of each condition: SMA20 has been above SMA60 since Jul 21; the close moved above both SMA20 and SMA60, and SMA5 crossed above SMA20 to complete the SMA5 > SMA20 > SMA60 ordering, on Sep 30 (+6.32%). The bucket's defining condition — a close above the prior 20-session high — first appeared on Oct 7 (+4.47%) and repeated on Oct 8 (+3.38%) and Oct 9 (+0.91%); the previous 20-session-high close before that was Aug 31.

The Fibonacci swing runs from the $18.87 low (Sep 18) to the $22.20 close (Oct 9): the 23.6% retracement is $21.41, 38.2% is $20.93 and 50% is $20.54. The close is 1.8% above the upper Bollinger Band ($21.81) with band width at 20.16% — price riding outside the band is typical of a sharp short-term advance, and it also means the move is stretched relative to its 20-day average.

② Volume

The tallest bars in the panel are older: Jul 30, Aug 26–27 and Sep 18 (Sep 18 was the S&P/ASX quarterly rebalance trading day, when volume was elevated across the market). The recent advance came on firmer but not extreme participation: Sep 30 traded 1.60× its 20-day average, Oct 7 1.37× and Oct 8 1.85×, and Oct 9 eased to 0.855× (333,297 shares against a 389,737 average).

The market backdrop matters for reading those ratios. Across Oct 5–9 the median stock in the screened ASX universe traded only 0.45–0.81× its own average, a quiet week. Adjusted for that, the breakout bars ran at roughly 1.68× (Oct 7) and 2.34× (Oct 8), and the Oct 9 bar at about 1.16× — above the market's typical participation, though none of these bars approaches the 3× level that would mark an exceptional volume event. These adjustments are approximate, because each 20-day average includes the current day.

③ MACD

The MACD line is 0.5586 against a signal of 0.2770, a histogram of +0.2815. The most recent golden cross printed on Sep 30, close to the zero line, after a September dead cross had pulled the histogram negative and the MACD line back down to roughly zero. Since the cross, the histogram has widened each session and the MACD line has climbed steeply. The August peak in the MACD line sits higher than the current reading, so momentum on this measure has not yet exceeded its summer level even though price has.

④ RSI

RSI(14) is 69.5 (69.5 on the two-year frame as well), just below the 70 line. On the 90-day chart it touched the overbought zone briefly in late July and early August, slipped toward the mid-40s in mid-September, and has risen steadily since Sep 30. No RSI divergence is flagged in the data. A reading near 70 alongside fresh 20-session highs is consistent with a strong short-term advance, but it leaves little headroom before the indicator is formally overbought — a stretched reading is not, by itself, a reversal signal.

⑤ Mansfield Relative Strength

Mansfield RS vs the S&P/ASX 200 is +17.96%, outperforming with a rising slope. A week earlier it was +6.25 and a month earlier +3.03, so it gained 11.71 points on the week and 14.93 points on the month — positive and accelerating on both horizons. The two-year chart puts this in context: RS was deeply negative (near −50) through mid-2025, recovered to around zero by early 2026, dipped below zero again through the first half of 2026, and crossed back above zero in early August. The current reading is the highest in the two-year window, though most of the gain arrived in the last week.

⑥ ATR & ADX

ATR(14) is $0.702, or 3.2% of price, which places the 1×ATR reference at $21.50 and the 2×ATR technical invalidation level at $20.80, 6.3% below the close. ATR jumped after the Jul 30 and Aug 26 bars and has eased gradually since, so the recent advance did not come with a volatility spike. ADX is 21.2 (20.9 on the two-year frame) and has turned up from the mid-teens — inside the 20–25 band where a trend is forming but not yet strong. ADX measures strength, not direction; a move above 25 would indicate the advance is gaining persistence.

⑦ OBV

OBV is tagged early accumulation on both frames — above its MA20 but with a flat slope. It is also where the clearest caution in this chart sits: a bearish OBV divergence is flagged on both frames. On the 90-day frame, the Aug 31 peak came at a price of $20.86 with OBV at 3,327,287, while the Oct 9 peak came at a higher price of $22.20 with OBV at only 1,537,236 (the two-year frame shows the same pattern: −3,111,858 then −4,901,909, a different cumulative baseline). Price has made a higher high that volume flow has not matched.

The OBV-to-MA20 gap is +23.37% on the two-year frame; the 90-day figure of +3,530.63% is not meaningful as a strength gauge because the 90-day MA20 sits close to zero. These percentages measure distance from the moving average, not divergence. A divergence is a possibility of a stalling move, not a confirmed top — it needs price follow-through to matter.

Bull Case vs Bear Case

Scenarios

Key Levels & Volatility References

What to Watch

• OBV versus price. The bearish divergence is the main open question. A new OBV high above the Aug 31 peak would remove it; a price pullback while OBV keeps fading would confirm it.
• The $20.86–$21.41 area. The Aug 31 high and the 23.6%–38.2% retracements form the first support cluster. Closes holding above it would mark the breakout as intact.
• Volume on further gains. Oct 9 eased to 0.855× average. Advances on volume at or above average would show participation continuing beyond the first breakout days.
• ADX above 25. At 21.2 the trend is forming; a rise through 25 would show the advance gaining persistence.
• The $20.80 level. A daily close below the 2×ATR technical invalidation level would undo the post-breakout structure.
