Bottom line

CMI Technical Analysis Summary

CMI is in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. The daily chart shows price at 648.85 below SMA20 (654.84) and SMA50 (668.28) but above SMA200 (578.40), with RSI14 at 47.54 and a narrowing MACD histogram of -1.91 after a 2.31% rebound on above-average volume. The weekly chart keeps the structural uptrend intact, with price at 634.20 above SMA50 (549.13) and SMA200 (338.13) but just below SMA20 (640.57); the weekly MACD histogram is negative at -8.27, reflecting fading momentum after the strong run-up. Key support is at 597.35 (20-period low on the daily chart) and then 578.40 (daily SMA200). Key resistance is at 654.84 (SMA20) and 668.28 (SMA50), then 691.73 (20-period high) and 737.76 (60-period and 52-week high). A sustained close above SMA20 would signal that the correction is resolving; losing 597.35 could extend the pullback toward SMA200 at 578.40.

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

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 648.85 is below SMA20 (654.84) and SMA50 (668.28) but above SMA200 (578.40). The SMA20 is below the SMA50, reflecting the recent pullback, while the upward-sloping SMA200 confirms the longer-term uptrend remains intact. A return above the SMA20 would improve the short-term structure.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 47.54 is just below the 50 midline, indicating balanced momentum. MACD at -10.27 is below the signal line at -8.36 with a negative histogram of -1.91. The negative histogram has narrowed from earlier in the pullback, suggesting downside pressure is easing even though the MACD line remains negative.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 25.88 (3.99% of price) reflects typical daily swings. Bollinger Bands (620.74 to 688.94) show price trading in the lower half of the range after the pullback, with the lower band at 620.74 as a nearby downside reference.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 1,306,800 is 141.5% of the 20-period average (923,480), indicating increased participation during the recent rebound.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 648.85 is below SMA20 (654.84) and SMA50 (668.28) but holding above SMA200 (578.40) and the 20-period low at 597.35. The last bar gained 2.31% on above-average volume, and the MACD histogram has narrowed, pointing to a possible stabilization. The RSI at 47.54 is near the 50 midline without extreme readings. A sustained move back above SMA20 (654.84) and SMA50 (668.28) would signal that the correction is resolving, while a break below 597.35 would open the door toward SMA200 at 578.40.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed but structurally positive. Price at 634.20 is just below SMA20 (640.57) but remains above SMA50 (549.13) and SMA200 (338.13). The moving averages are still in a bullish alignment (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200), so the drop below SMA20 reflects a medium-term pullback rather than a trend reversal. Price would need to reclaim SMA20 to restore the short-term weekly structure.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 52.85 is near the 50 midline. MACD at 32.87 is below the signal line at 41.14 with a negative histogram of -8.27, showing that bullish momentum has faded at the weekly level after the strong run-up. The last completed week closed down 4.58%.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 49.18 (7.75% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with the strong advances and subsequent pullback over the past year.
Volume
Above average. Latest weekly volume of 5,586,300 is 123.3% of the 20-week average (4,529,720), indicating active participation during the recent decline.

Assessment

The weekly chart remains in a longer-term uptrend despite the recent pullback. Price at 634.20 is holding above SMA50 (549.13) and SMA200 (338.13) after dipping below SMA20 (640.57). The 60-period return of +97.31% and the 252-period return of +210.83% show the scale of the prior advance. The RSI at 52.85 has cooled from higher readings, and the negative MACD histogram (-8.27) reflects fading momentum. The 20-week low at 508.45 and the SMA50 at 549.13 are the main weekly support references. The daily and weekly timeframes are broadly aligned: both show a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend.
