Bottom line
CAH Technical Analysis Summary
CAH (Cardinal Health) shows a bullish trend on both daily and weekly timeframes. The daily price at 233.66 is above SMA20 (232.27), SMA50 (211.23), and SMA200 (202.73) with a bullish alignment (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200). RSI14 at 60.93 on the daily and 64.62 on the weekly indicates bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The daily MACD remains positive at 6.91, though the histogram at -1.07 has turned negative, suggesting near-term momentum is flattening. The weekly MACD is more constructive with the MACD line at 8.92 above the signal line at 6.11 and an expanding histogram at 2.81. Key support sits at 218.99 (20-day low) and 180.06 (60-day low), while resistance stands at 243.21 (20-day and 60-day high, also 52-week high). A breakout above 243.21 would open new highs; a breakdown below 218.99 would shift the near-term outlook.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 233.66 is above SMA20 (232.27), SMA50 (211.23), and SMA200 (202.73). The moving averages are in a bullish alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200), confirming a well-established uptrend. The price has rallied 45.58% over the past year.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bullish. RSI14 at 60.93 is above the 50 midline, indicating positive momentum but below overbought territory (70). MACD at 6.91 is above zero, suggesting the uptrend has momentum, but the MACD line at 6.91 is now below the signal line at 7.98 with a negative histogram at -1.07, indicating near-term momentum is decelerating.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.48 (2.35% of price) suggests daily moves averaging around 2.3%. Bollinger Bands (220.56 to 243.98) are moderately wide, with price near the upper band, reflecting the recent uptrend and creating the potential for mean reversion or a band breakout.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Latest volume of 2,282,200 is 89.7% of the 20-period average (2,543,840), indicating normal participation without unusual accumulation or distribution.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a mature uptrend with price near 52-week highs. The bullish moving average alignment supports the ongoing trend, but the negative MACD histogram suggests slowing upside momentum. The close proximity to 243.21 resistance makes this a key level to watch.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 235.80 is well above SMA20 (212.33), SMA50 (194.92), and SMA200 (124.21). All three moving averages are in a bullish alignment. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, confirming a strong long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 64.62 is above neutral and trending up but below overbought. Weekly MACD is clearly bullish: the MACD line at 8.92 is above the signal line at 6.11, and the histogram at 2.81 is positive and expanding, indicating building upside momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 12.36 (5.24% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges consistent with an established uptrend.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 14,466,000 is 142.3% of the 20-week average (10,164,945), indicating higher participation and supporting the price breakout.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is solidly bullish. Price is well above all key moving averages, confirming a strong long-term uptrend. The bullish MACD configuration with expanding histogram is a constructive signal. Volume running above average supports the recent price action.
