Bottom line
ADP Technical Analysis Summary
ADP trades at 270.62 as of August 4, 2026, in a clear short-term uptrend on the daily chart, sitting above the SMA20 (254.11), SMA50 (236.99), and SMA200 (232.94) in bullish alignment. The daily RSI at 67.23 is strong but has not reached the overbought threshold, and the MACD histogram is positive. The weekly chart confirms a recovery underway, with price above all three weekly moving averages after a strong rally off the lows, although the averages remain tangled because of the earlier decline. Key resistance is at the 20-day high of 280.59 and the 52-week high of 301.70. Support rests at the daily SMA20 (254.11) and the 20-day low of 235.19.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 270.62 is above the SMA20 (254.11), SMA50 (236.99), and SMA200 (232.94), and the moving averages are stacked in bullish order, with the SMA200 sloping upward. The stock has climbed steadily since mid-July, and the price structure supports the near-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Strong but not overbought. RSI14 at 67.23 is below the 70 overbought threshold, leaving room before extreme conditions. MACD line at 9.62 is above the signal at 8.42, and the histogram is positive at 1.20, confirming bullish momentum in the near term.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 8.71, or 3.22% of price. Bollinger Bands range from 233.32 to 274.90, and price at 270.62 is close to the upper band, reflecting strong recent momentum and some near-term extension.
- Volume
- Around average. Latest volume of 2,586,300 is 104.1% of the 20-period average (2,484,765), showing participation roughly in line with the recent trend.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a clear short-term uptrend. Price gained 10.19% over the last 20 sessions and sits near the upper end of its 20-day range, with the 20-day high at 280.59 as the immediate resistance. RSI at 67.23 is strong without being overbought, and the MACD remains positive. A pullback toward the SMA20 at 254.11 would be a normal consolidation, while a break above 280.59 would open the way toward the 52-week high at 301.70.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed but improving. Price at 266.46 is above the SMA20 (221.29), SMA50 (242.14), and SMA200 (244.14), but the moving averages have not yet realigned into bullish order because they still reflect the earlier decline from above 300 to below 190. The zone around 242 to 244, where the SMA50 and SMA200 sit, now acts as reference support rather than resistance.
- Momentum
- Positive. RSI14 at 65.55 is in the strong zone but below overbought. MACD line at 4.84 is above the signal at -2.38, with a positive histogram of 7.22, indicating improving bullish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 14.97, or 5.62% of price. Price at 266.46 sits above the upper Bollinger Band at 262.80, reflecting the strength of the recent advance and the potential for short-term mean reversion.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 15,423,300 is 105.4% of the 20-week average (14,636,890), suggesting the rally has drawn reasonable participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a strong recovery from the lows. Price has climbed 19.19% over the last 5 weeks and 28.76% over 20 weeks, reclaiming all three key moving averages. The 60-week return of -15.78% and the 52-week position of 69.35% show that the stock is still below the levels of a year ago. A weekly close above the 20-week high at 280.59 would strengthen the recovery, with the 60-week high at 317.03 as the next reference. Support is at the 242 to 244 zone and the SMA20 at 221.29.
