Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (July 13, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 194.53 is above SMA20 (186.84), SMA50 (184.81), and SMA200 (176.47). The SMA20 is above SMA50, which is above SMA200, confirming a bullish alignment. Price has been trending higher from the May lows near 167.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 62.45 is above the 50 midline, indicating bullish momentum without overbought conditions. MACD (2.88) is above zero and above the signal line (2.39), with a positive histogram at 0.49 confirming ongoing upward momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 3.71 (1.91% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 3.71 points. Bollinger Bands (175.08 to 198.60) are moderately wide with price near the upper band, reflecting the recent uptrend.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 1,074,800 is 93.9% of the 20-period average (1,144,380), indicating normal participation levels.

Assessment

The daily timeframe shows a solid bullish bias. Price is above all key SMAs with the daily RSI in bullish territory. The positive MACD histogram supports the upward move. The stock is trading near the top of its 52-week range (90.12% position), approaching the 198.63 resistance area. A sustained move above this level with volume would strengthen the bullish case.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 191.84 is above SMA20 (176.81) and SMA200 (176.97) but near SMA50 (177.76). The SMAs are converging, suggesting a consolidation phase. The SMA200 is roughly flat, indicating no clear long-term directional bias.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 59.81 is above neutral and trending up. MACD at 3.70 is above the signal line at 1.53 with a positive and expanding histogram at 2.17, confirming building bullish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 8.18 (4.26% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (156.19 to 197.42) show price testing the upper band, consistent with the recent rally.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 4,183,800 is 80.9% of the 20-week average (5,172,895). Lower volume during the rally warrants monitoring for confirmation.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe shows improving but uneven momentum. The bullish MACD configuration is the strongest positive signal. However, price is testing the upper Bollinger Band and the converging SMAs suggest the trend direction is not yet fully established. The 200.12 level (60-week high) is the key resistance to watch. A decisive weekly close above this level would confirm a new uptrend.
