Bottom line
CDNS Technical Analysis Summary
CDNS shows a split picture between timeframes. The weekly chart is strongly bullish with price well above all key SMAs, RSI at 64 (bullish but not overbought), and a positive MACD histogram confirming steady upside momentum. The daily chart is mixed: price sits below SMA20 (379.91) but above SMA50 (373.50) and SMA200 (327.93), while the daily MACD histogram is negative (-0.64) and RSI at 50.47 is neutral. The 52-week position at 74.8% places the stock in the upper half of its range. Key support is at the 60-day low of 303.31. Key resistance is at the 20-day high of 403.38. A daily close above SMA20 (379.91) would signal short-term bullish resumption; a close below SMA50 (373.50) would suggest deeper pullback risk.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 377.92 is below SMA20 (379.91) but above SMA50 (373.50) and SMA200 (327.93). SMA20 remains above SMA50, preserving a short-term bullish alignment. SMA200 is sloping upward. The slight dip below SMA20 indicates short-term hesitation within an otherwise intact uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral-bearish. RSI14 at 50.47 is at the midline, providing no directional signal. MACD at 1.16 is below the signal line at 1.81 with a negative histogram of -0.64, indicating bearish momentum. The MACD bearish alignment is the main cautionary signal on the daily chart.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 14.12 (3.74% of price) reflects average daily moves near 3.7%. Bollinger Bands (365.44 to 394.38) show price hovering near the middle band, consistent with the neutral RSI reading.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 1,337,800 is 58.7% of the 20-period average (2,279,970), indicating reduced trading participation in the current consolidation.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a consolidation phase within a broader uptrend. Price is sandwiched between SMA20 and SMA50, RSI is neutral, and the negative MACD histogram signals short-term bearish momentum. Below-average volume during this consolidation is typical. The key question is whether the daily downtrend from the 20-day high of 403.38 represents a pullback within an uptrend or the start of a deeper correction. A close above SMA20 would favor the pullback interpretation.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 384.17 is well above SMA20 (335.59), SMA50 (331.38), and SMA200 (273.18). The SMA200 is sloping strongly upward, confirming a mature long-term uptrend. The sustained distance between price and short-term SMAs indicates a healthy trend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 64.25 is in bullish territory and well below the 70 overbought barrier. MACD at 19.73 is above the signal line at 14.31 with a positive histogram of 5.42, confirming solid upside momentum on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 26.14 (6.80% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges for a high-growth tech stock in an active uptrend.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 7,399,300 is 63.4% of the 20-week average (11,676,850), indicating reduced participation during the latest weekly candle.
Assessment
The weekly chart clearly supports the bull case. Price is well above all key SMAs, RSI has room before overbought at 70, and the MACD histogram is positive. The 52-week position at 78.9% confirms the stock is in the upper portion of its long-term range. The below-average weekly volume is a mild caution but not an outright concern given the established trend. The weekly uptrend remains intact as long as price stays above SMA20.
