Today, the price of acetone continues to fluctuate. The mean difference indicator has issued a warning signal for stagnation, indicating a short-term bearish trend. From the perspective of the price cycle, the 60-day cycle is at a high level, while the 1-year and 3-month cycles are at a moderate level. The short-term upward space is limited, and there is a need to be cautious about the risk of a high-level correction. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the price changes of upstream propylene, pure benzene, and downstream bisphenol A, which may affect the acetone market.

I. Table of Mean Difference Changes
Difference Type Today's Value (2026-08-10) Yesterday's Value (2026-08-09) Direction of Change
5-day average difference (D5) 43.75 27.50 +
10-day average difference (D10) 37.50 40.00 -
20-day average difference (D20) 42.50 27.50 +
II. Signal Status Determination
The current combination of average difference change symbols is (+, -, +), which belongs to a stagflation warning (bearish) signal.
III. Conclusion on Trend Direction
The price trend is volatile (leaning bearish). Reason: The directions of change in the three moving averages are not entirely consistent with the previous day. Specifically, the 5-day moving average and the 20-day moving average are trending upward, while the 10-day moving average is trending downward. This pattern aligns with the volatile, bearish characteristics typically associated with a stagflation warning. As a result, short-term upward price momentum has weakened, and downward correction pressure is building.
IV. Positional Spatial Reference
The price positions in the 5-tier structure for different cycles are as follows: the 1-year cycle is at the median, the 3-month cycle is at the median, and the 60-day cycle is at a high level. The high level of the 60-day cycle suggests that the short-term upside is limited, and with the warning signal of stagnation, attention should be paid to the risk of a pullback from the high level. Meanwhile, the median status of the 1-year and 3-month cycles indicates that there is still some room for price fluctuation in the medium term, and further judgment should be made in conjunction with the trends of upstream and downstream products.
