Bottom line

CHT Technical Analysis Summary

CHT (Chunghwa Telecom) presents a neutral technical picture across both daily and weekly timeframes. On the daily chart, price at 38.79 trades above SMA20 (38.32) and SMA50 (38.08) but remains below SMA200 (39.15), creating a mixed trend structure where short-term momentum has improved but the long-term trend has not yet turned positive. RSI14 at 56.71 is in neutral territory with a slight bullish bias, while the daily MACD shows the MACD line at 0.08 above the signal line at -0.12 with a positive histogram of 0.20 — a mildly constructive signal. The weekly chart shows price at 38.66 trading above SMA20 (37.86) and SMA50 (37.62) but below SMA200 (39.82), mirroring the daily mixed structure. Weekly RSI at 53.84 reflects neutral conditions. CHT has been range-bound between 36.50 and 40.00 for much of 2026, with limited directional conviction. Key resistance lies at SMA200 (39.15) and the 52-week high of 40.33. Support rests at the 20-period low of 37.73 and the 60-period low of 36.73. A sustained move above 39.15 would be needed to shift the long-term trend from neutral to bullish.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (July 17, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 38.79 is above SMA20 (38.32, +1.23%) and SMA50 (38.08, +1.86%) but below SMA200 (39.15, -0.92%). SMA20 is sloping slightly upward while SMA200 remains essentially flat, reflecting a neutral long-term trend. The short-term moving averages having crossed above the longer-term ones would be a more convincing bullish signal, but that has not yet occurred.
Momentum
Mildly bullish. RSI14 at 56.71 is above the 50 midline, indicating mildly bullish momentum without approaching overbought levels. MACD line at 0.08 has crossed above the signal line at -0.12, and the histogram at 0.20 is positive. This MACD crossover is a constructive early signal that momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls, though the absolute values are small.
Volatility
Low. ATR14 at 0.41 (1.06% of price) reflects very low volatility, consistent with CHT's profile as a stable, high-dividend telecom ADR. Bollinger Bands (37.56 to 39.62) are narrow, indicating a low-volatility environment typical of the stock.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 412,300 is 67.3% of the 20-period average (612,800), indicating reduced participation. CHT as a foreign ADR typically sees lower volume during summer months.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a stock in a low-volatility consolidation near the upper end of its recent range. The MACD crossover and RSI above 50 are mildly positive signals, but the SMA200 overhead at 39.15 remains a meaningful resistance. Volume is below average during the recent advance, which reduces conviction. A close above SMA200 (39.15) would be a meaningful technical improvement, while a loss of the 20-period low at 37.73 would suggest the consolidation is resolving lower.

Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)

Trend
Neutral. Price at 38.66 is above SMA20 (37.86, +2.11%) and SMA50 (37.62, +2.76%) but below SMA200 (39.82, -2.91%). The SMA20 and SMA50 are flat to slightly sloping upward, while SMA200 is also flat. The stock has been oscillating in a range without establishing a clear directional bias.
Momentum
Neutral with improving bias. RSI14 at 53.84 is slightly above the 50 midline, indicating neutral conditions. MACD line at 0.13 is above the signal line at -0.04 with a positive histogram of 0.17, suggesting that bearish momentum has faded and mild positive momentum is emerging on the weekly scale as well.
Volatility
Low. ATR14 at 0.66 (1.71% of price) reflects very low weekly volatility, characteristic of a stable dividend stock. Bollinger Bands (36.92 to 40.54) show modest width, with price in the upper half of the range.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 2,186,500 is 93.8% of the 20-week average (2,330,100), indicating normal participation for the ADR.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms the neutral-to-slightly-improving picture. CHT has been range-bound between approximately 36.50 and 40.00 throughout 2026, with no clear trend emerging. The MACD has crossed to positive territory, which is a modestly constructive development, but the flat moving averages and low volatility suggest the stock lacks strong directional catalysts. The 52-week high at 40.33 provides upside reference, while the 52-week low at 35.65 defines the lower boundary of the stock's annual range at the 52-week position of 56.7%.
