Bottom line

AVY Technical Analysis Summary

AVY (Avery Dennison) shows a mixed to bearish technical picture with price below all key moving averages on the weekly timeframe. The daily chart is mixed, with price at 159.24 trading between its SMA50 (159.63) and SMA20 (161.56), while remaining well below the SMA200 (170.66). RSI14 at 46.73 on the daily and 43.74 on the weekly indicates mildly bearish momentum without reaching oversold extremes. The weekly MACD histogram has turned slightly positive at 0.16, hinting at a potential momentum shift, but the MACD line remains below the signal line on both timeframes. Key resistance sits at 168.88 (20-day high) and 172.78 (60-day high), while support lies at 156.08 (20-day low) and 151.71 (60-day low, also the 52-week low). A sustained move above 161.56 (SMA20) would be the first step toward stabilization; a breakdown below 151.71 would suggest further downside.

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

Daily (July 13, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 159.24 trades below SMA20 (161.56) and SMA200 (170.66) but is nearly equal to SMA50 (159.63). The SMA20 is above the SMA50, indicating short-term momentum has not fully turned bearish, but the SMA200 sloping down confirms a longer-term downtrend.
Momentum
Mildly bearish. RSI14 at 46.73 is below the neutral 50 level, indicating bearish bias. MACD (0.35) is above zero but below the signal line (0.77), with the histogram at -0.43 showing continued negative momentum. The MACD line remains above zero which provides a slight offset.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 4.13 (2.60% of price) reflects average daily moves of about 2.6%. Bollinger Bands (155.74 to 167.38) show price near the lower band, consistent with the recent bearish price action.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 680,000 is 91.8% of the 20-period average (740,380), indicating normal trading participation without panic selling.

Assessment

The daily timeframe is in a transitional state. Price has stabilized near the SMA50 after a prolonged decline from the 52-week high of 197.29. The MACD histogram remains negative but the MACD line is still above zero, suggesting the downtrend may be losing intensity rather than accelerating. A close above SMA20 (161.56) would be the first constructive signal.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 160.71 is below SMA20 (165.42), SMA50 (170.36), and SMA200 (179.25). All major moving averages are stacked in a bearish alignment (price below all SMAs). The -22.00% return over the trailing 252 weeks confirms the prolonged downtrend.
Momentum
Mildly bearish with early signs of stabilization. RSI14 at 43.74 is below 50 but not oversold. MACD at -3.79 is below the signal line at -3.95, though the histogram has turned positive at 0.16, suggesting the pace of the downtrend may be slowing.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 8.77 (5.46% of price) shows typical weekly swings of around 5.5%. Bollinger Bands (147.73 to 183.10) are wide, reflecting the significant price swings over the past 5 years.
Volume
Slightly above average. Latest weekly volume of 3,469,700 is 105.9% of the 20-week average (3,275,415), indicating continuing interest even as the stock trades near lows.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe confirms a bearish trend with price below all key SMAs. However, the MACD histogram turning positive for the first time in recent weeks could signal that selling pressure is diminishing. The stock is near its 52-week low of 151.71, a critical support level. A positive histogam alone is not a buy signal but warrants attention for a potential trend stabilization.
