Bottom line
ABT Technical Analysis Summary
ABT shows a mixed technical picture with short-term strength and long-term weakness. On the daily timeframe, price has recovered above SMA50 (89.20) and is trading at 92.11, but remains well below SMA200 (109.80), reflecting a 29.6% decline over the past year. RSI near 50 on the daily indicates neutral momentum, while the weekly RSI at 41.8 leans bearish. The MACD histogram has turned positive on both timeframes, suggesting downside momentum may be fading. Key support is at 87.07 (20-day low) and 81.97 (52-week low), while resistance sits near SMA20 at 91.94 and the 98.14 area (20-day high). A sustained move above SMA200 would be needed to confirm a long-term trend reversal.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.
Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed with short-term recovery. Price at 92.11 is above SMA50 (89.22) but below SMA20 (91.94) by a small margin and well under SMA200 (109.80). The SMA50 is trending up from a low base, but the SMA200 continues to slope downward, reflecting the broader downtrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 50.47 sits near the midline, showing no clear directional conviction. MACD at 1.26 is above the signal line (1.20) and the histogram at 0.06 is barely positive, indicating marginal bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.36 (2.56% of price) indicates typical daily ranges of about 2.6%. Bollinger Bands (86.61 to 97.26) are narrowing, with price near the middle band after recovering from the lower band.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Latest volume of 11,754,000 is 87.0% of the 20-period average (13,503,135), indicating moderate participation without strong conviction.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a stock that has been in a prolonged downtrend but is attempting to stabilize. Price has bounced from the 52-week low zone and reclaimed the SMA50. The narrowing Bollinger Bands suggest a potential compression and subsequent expansion. A close above SMA20 (91.94) would improve the short-term outlook.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish with no clear reversal. Price at 93.93 is below SMA20 (95.61), SMA50 (112.94), and SMA200 (108.45). All major moving averages are sloping down, confirming a sustained downtrend on the weekly scale.
- Momentum
- Bearish but improving. RSI14 at 41.82 is in the lower half of the neutral range, closer to oversold than overbought. MACD remains negative at -6.23 but the histogram at 1.34 has turned positive, suggesting improving momentum from deeply negative levels.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 5.48 (5.83% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with a stock experiencing significant selling pressure over the past year.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 50,892,400 is 84.7% of the 20-week average (60,070,550), showing reduced participation during the decline.
Assessment
The weekly perspective is clearly bearish. Price remains below all key moving averages in a descending arrangement. The positive development is the MACD histogram turning up, which could signal the early stages of momentum stabilization. However, the SMA200 has crossed below SMA50, a bearish signal, and the stock needs to reclaim at least the SMA20 at 95.61 to begin improving the larger timeframe outlook.
