Bottom line
ABT Technical Analysis Summary
ABT closed at 107.12 on August 3, 2026, reclaiming the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages after a sharp rebound from the July lows. The stock is up 12.8% over the past 20 sessions and 25.0% over the past 60 sessions, though it remains 13.2% lower year over year and well below the 52-week high of 134.38. Daily RSI at 69.28 is approaching overbought, and the weekly MACD histogram has turned positive, suggesting momentum is improving on both timeframes. Key support is at 87.64 (20-day low) and 81.39 (52-week low), while resistance sits near the 20-day high at 110.04 and the 60-week high at 135.31. A sustained move above 110.04 would open the door toward the 52-week high zone.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish short-term structure. Price at 107.12 is above SMA20 (99.46), SMA50 (93.22), and SMA200 (106.85). The SMA20 has turned up sharply, and the SMA50 is starting to lift, though the SMA200 remains above the SMA50, so the longer-term moving averages have not yet realigned into a full bullish stack.
- Momentum
- Bullish but stretched. RSI14 at 69.28 is near the overbought threshold of 70. MACD at 4.08 is above the signal line (3.47) and the histogram at 0.62 is positive, confirming upside momentum, though the recent run suggests some near-term exhaustion risk.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 3.13 (2.92% of price) reflects wider daily ranges after the rebound. Bollinger Bands (87.43 to 111.48) are expanding, with price trading in the upper half of the band after the move higher.
- Volume
- Below average on the latest bar. Volume of 6,448,983 is about 52% of the 20-period average (12,311,614), indicating the rally has not yet been confirmed by heavy participation. Volume for the August 3 bar comes from a market-data provider and may differ from other providers in coverage.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a strong short-term uptrend off the July lows, with price reclaiming all key moving averages. The main cautions are an RSI approaching overbought and below-average volume on the latest advance. A close above the 20-day high at 110.04 would confirm the move, while losing SMA20 at 99.46 would signal a near-term pullback.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed with improving bias. Price at 105.70 is above SMA20 (93.93) but remains below SMA50 (110.64) and SMA200 (107.84). The SMA20 has turned up while the SMA50 and SMA200 still slope lower, leaving the weekly picture in a recovery phase rather than a confirmed uptrend.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 57.72 has moved back into the middle of the neutral range after spending time in bearish territory. MACD remains negative at -2.79, but the histogram at 2.89 has turned positive, indicating downside pressure is easing on the longer timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.08 (5.75% of price) reflects the wide weekly ranges of the past year. Bollinger Bands (79.79 to 108.07) show price pressing against the upper band as the recovery continues.
- Volume
- Moderately below average. Weekly volume of 54,202,100 is about 85% of the 20-week average (63,583,495), showing participation is rising but has not yet reached conviction levels.
Assessment
The weekly chart is transitioning from a downtrend toward stabilization. Price has reclaimed the 20-week average, and the MACD histogram turning positive is a constructive sign. However, the SMA50 and SMA200 still sit overhead, so a weekly close above SMA50 at 110.64 would be needed to confirm a larger recovery.
