Bottom line
AZO Technical Analysis Summary
AZO (AutoZone) shows a bearish technical structure overall. Price at 3078.98 is below SMA20 (3086.82), SMA50 (3206.33), and SMA200 (3561.90) on the daily chart, while the weekly SMA200 at 3077.32 represents a critical support test. The daily RSI14 at 47.51 is neutral, but the weekly RSI14 at 38.54 leans bearish and approaches oversold territory. The daily MACD histogram has turned positive at 4.78 after a bullish crossover, suggesting near-term improvement. However, the weekly MACD remains deeply bearish with histogram at -21.14, reflecting sustained selling pressure. Key support rests at 2928.11 (60-day and 52-week low) and 2949.06 (20-day low), while resistance sits at 3239.14 (20-day high) and 3729.82 (60-day high). A break below 2928 would signal further downside; a move above 3239 would suggest short-term recovery.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 3078.98 is below SMA20 (3086.82), SMA50 (3206.33), and SMA200 (3561.90). The SMA200 is sloping downward, confirming a long-term downtrend. Price has declined -17.42% over the past 252 trading days and sits only 10.33% above the 52-week low.
- Momentum
- Weakly bearish. RSI14 at 47.51 is below the neutral 50 midline but not oversold. MACD at -31.34 is below zero, though the MACD line has crossed above the signal line and the histogram is positive at 4.78, indicating a potential short-term bullish crossover developing.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 97.78 (3.18% of price) reflects average daily movement of about 3%. Bollinger Bands (2953.16 to 3220.49) are moderately wide, with price near the lower half of the range, consistent with the bearish trend.
- Volume
- Significantly below average. Latest volume of 175,900 is 33.5% of the 20-period average (524,980), indicating low participation. Low volume in a downtrend can suggest a lack of aggressive selling rather than accumulation.
Assessment
The daily timeframe remains bearish with price below all key SMAs. The positive MACD histogram is a short-term constructive signal worth monitoring. However, the downward-sloping SMA200 and the -17.42% 252-day return confirm the longer-term bearish bias. Volume well below average reduces conviction in either direction.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish with a critical SMA200 test. Price at 3072.64 is below SMA20 (3347.58) and SMA50 (3646.36), and essentially at the SMA200 (3077.32). The SMA200 has flattened, and price testing this level represents a significant technical juncture. A sustained break below 3077 would open the door to further downside.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.54 is below the neutral 50 and approaching oversold territory (below 30). MACD at -150.87 is deeply negative with the histogram at -21.14 still expanding, indicating persistent bearish momentum on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 206.26 (6.71% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges consistent with the downtrend. Bollinger Bands are wide (2895.79 to 3799.37), and price is near the lower band.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 1,352,800 is 95.3% of the 20-week average (1,419,285), indicating consistent participation in the weekly moves.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is bearish with price testing a critical SMA200 support. The deeply negative MACD and RSI leaning toward oversold suggest bearish momentum is still in control. The SMA200 at 3077 is the key level to watch. A weekly close below this level would be a major technical breakdown. The +98.16% 252-week return reflects the strong multi-year rally before the current correction.
