Bottom line

BSX Technical Analysis Summary

BSX (Boston Scientific) shows a deeply bearish technical picture across both daily and weekly timeframes. On the daily chart, price at 44.65 trades below the SMA20 (44.86), SMA50 (49.62), and SMA200 (76.84), confirming a sustained downtrend. The daily RSI14 at 39.97 is in bearish territory but not yet oversold. A notable bright spot is the daily MACD, where the MACD line at -1.47 has crossed above the signal line at -1.94 with a positive histogram of 0.46, indicating slowing downside momentum. The weekly chart is more concerning, with price at 44.77 deeply below all key moving averages and the weekly RSI14 at 24.48 in oversold territory. The weekly MACD remains bearish with the MACD line at -10.74 below the signal line at -10.52 and a negative histogram of -0.22. Key support sits at 42.25 (the 52-week, 20-day, and 60-day low). Resistance is at 47.80 (20-day high) and 66.88 (60-day high). A break below 42.25 would suggest further downside, while a recovery above 47.80 would be the first sign of stabilization.

Daily (July 13, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 44.65 is below SMA20 (44.86), SMA50 (49.62), and SMA200 (76.84). All three moving averages are declining, with the SMA200 well above price, confirming a sustained downtrend. The SMA20 crossed below the SMA200 previously (death cross), and the SMA50 is also below the SMA200.
Momentum
Bearish with improvement. RSI14 at 39.97 is below the 50 neutral level, indicating bearish momentum, but above 30 so not oversold. MACD at -1.47 crossed above the signal line at -1.94 with a positive histogram of 0.46, signaling a bullish crossover that suggests downside momentum is slowing and a potential bounce may develop.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.50 (3.37% of price) indicates average daily swings of about 1.50 points. Bollinger Bands (42.65 to 47.06) are wide relative to the price level, with price trading in the lower half of the bands, consistent with the downtrend.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 13,161,500 is 65.8% of the 20-period average (20,008,170), indicating reduced participation during the recent sell-off.

Assessment

The daily chart presents a stock in a clear downtrend, with price below all key moving averages. However, the bullish MACD crossover is a technically significant development that often precedes trend stabilization or reversal. The RSI at 39.97, while still bearish, is not at deeply oversold levels, leaving room for further downside if selling resumes. The key level to watch is the 42.25 support area (52-week low and current 20/60-day low). A bounce from this level with the MACD crossover could set up a near-term recovery. Volume remains below average, suggesting institutional accumulation is not yet underway.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 44.77 is below SMA20 (57.55), SMA50 (80.98), and SMA200 (72.05). All moving averages are declining, with SMA50 above SMA200 (death cross). The SMA20 has fallen sharply through both the SMA50 and SMA200 over the past year, reflecting the accelerating downtrend.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 24.48 is deep in oversold territory (below 30), reflecting extended selling pressure. MACD at -10.74 is below the signal line at -10.52 with a negative histogram of -0.22, indicating bearish momentum continues on the weekly timeframe, though the gap between MACD and signal line is narrowing.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 4.59 (10.26% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with the sharp downtrend. Bollinger Bands (37.31 to 77.79) are extremely wide, capturing the significant price decline over the past year.
Volume
Below average. Latest weekly volume of 68,112,100 is 76.5% of the 20-week average (89,042,745), indicating reduced participation during the decline.

Assessment

The weekly chart paints a stark picture of a stock in a severe downtrend. The 57.78% decline over 60 weeks (approximately 15 months) and the 52-week position at just 3.75% from the low confirm the extent of selling. The RSI at 24.48 is oversold, which in a strong downtrend can persist for extended periods. The weekly MACD remains bearish with no crossover signal yet, unlike the daily chart. The critical support is the 52-week low at 42.25, which has been tested in recent weeks. A weekly close below this level would be deeply bearish. Any meaningful recovery would need to reclaim the SMA20 at 57.55 first, representing a 28% rally from current levels.
