Bottom line
BDX Technical Analysis Summary
BDX shows a mixed but constructive technical picture after a strong recovery. On the daily chart, price at 170.12 sits above SMA20 (158.33), SMA50 (152.37), and SMA200 (153.77), with a 52-week position near 75%. RSI14 at 68.10 is firm but approaching the overbought boundary, and the MACD histogram is positive at 1.27. The latest session closed slightly lower (-0.05%) with volume at 119.5% of the 20-day average, showing active participation. The weekly chart is improving as well: price at 165.62 has reclaimed SMA20 (151.99) and SMA50 (152.68) but remains below the declining SMA200 (169.69), and the weekly MACD histogram has turned positive at 1.43. Key support sits at SMA20 (158.33) and the 20-day low (148.23), with the 60-day low at 140.11 as the main downside reference. Resistance is at the 20/60-day high of 171.21, followed by the 52-week high at 184.86. A daily close above 171.21 with volume would confirm the uptrend; a break below 148.23 would signal renewed weakness.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed but constructive. Price at 170.12 is above SMA20 (158.33), SMA50 (152.37), and SMA200 (153.77). SMA20 is well above SMA50, but SMA50 sits marginally below SMA200, so the moving-average stack is not yet in full bullish alignment. Price has been trending higher since the late-June lows and is testing the top of its recent range.
- Momentum
- Firm but approaching overbought. RSI14 at 68.10 is above the 50 midline and close to the 70 overbought threshold, reflecting the recent run-up. MACD at 4.65 is above the signal at 3.37 with a positive histogram of 1.27, confirming positive momentum that remains intact.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 4.39 (2.58% of price) reflects normal daily movement for a large-cap healthcare stock. Bollinger Bands (144.95 to 171.71) show price trading near the upper band, consistent with a strong short-term move.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 2,104,800 is 119.5% of the 20-period average (1,761,470), showing solid participation during the recent advance.
Assessment
The daily chart has turned constructive. Price is above all three key moving averages with a 52-week position near 75%, a positive MACD histogram, and above-average volume. RSI near 68 is strong but leaves less headroom before overbought. The immediate test is the 20/60-day high at 171.21. A confirmed close above it with volume would extend the uptrend, while a drop back below SMA20 at 158.33 would signal a loss of short-term momentum.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed but improving. Price at 165.62 is above SMA20 (151.99) and SMA50 (152.68) but below SMA200 (169.69). SMA200 remains elevated from earlier highs, so the longer-term structure is still repairing after the decline from the 2025 peak.
- Momentum
- Neutral-to-bullish. RSI14 at 59.76 is above the 50 midline with room before the overbought threshold. MACD at 1.06 is above the signal at -0.37 with a positive histogram of 1.43, indicating weekly momentum has turned higher.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 9.63 (5.82% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (140.90 to 163.08) sit below the latest weekly close, reflecting an extended short-term move.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 10,227,400 is 80.7% of the 20-week average (12,670,950), showing moderate participation in the weekly recovery.
Assessment
The weekly chart is improving. Price has reclaimed SMA20 and SMA50, and the MACD histogram has turned positive, consistent with a recovering trend. The main overhead reference is the SMA200 at 169.69; a weekly close above it would mark a more meaningful trend shift. The 60-week return of +25.19% shows medium-term improvement, while the 252-week return of -4.03% shows the longer-term damage is still being repaired. Losing the SMA20 at 151.99 would signal that the recovery has stalled.
