Bottom line

COF Technical Analysis Summary

COF has extended its recovery off the June low near 174 and is holding above all three daily moving averages, closing at 221.63 on August 5, 2026. The daily RSI14 at 67.37 is elevated but not overbought, and the close remains just above the upper Bollinger band, pointing to a strong but extended short-term move. The weekly chart is turning more constructive, with price back above its 50-week average and a positive, rising MACD histogram. A sustained break above the recent high at 223.62 would open the path toward the 52-week high at 257.54, while a loss of the SMA20 and SMA200 confluence near 206 to 208 would signal near-term exhaustion.

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

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed to improving. Price at 221.63 sits above SMA20 (208.22), SMA50 (199.05), and SMA200 (206.44). The SMA20 has moved above the SMA200, but the SMA50 remains below the SMA200, so the moving-average stack is not yet fully aligned.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 67.37 is elevated but not overbought. The MACD line at 4.98 is above the signal line at 3.71 with a positive histogram of 1.26, confirming and extending upward momentum.
Volatility
Moderate with an extended close. ATR14 at 5.95 (2.68% of price) reflects average daily moves near 2.7%. Bollinger Bands span 195.64 to 220.80, and the close at 221.63 sits just above the upper band, which can indicate a stretched move prone to a pullback or consolidation.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 3,477,800 is 79.0% of the 20-period average (4,401,520), so the recent advance has not yet been confirmed by stronger participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a decisive recovery from the 60-day low of 174.24. Price has climbed back above all three daily moving averages and is testing the 20-day and 60-day high at 223.62. RSI near 67 and a close above the upper Bollinger band point to a strong but extended move, while below-average volume on the latest bar leaves room for a near-term pause.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 209.01 is above SMA20 (193.24) and SMA200 (153.00) and just above SMA50 (208.29), but the SMA20 remains below the SMA50, so the longer-term moving-average stack is still realigning.
Momentum
Improving. RSI14 at 55.88 is neutral. The MACD line at 0.25 is above the signal line at -2.70 with a positive and rising histogram of 2.95, showing that prior bearish momentum has faded.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 12.90 (6.17% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a mid-to-large cap financial stock. Bollinger Bands span 172.75 to 213.73, with price trading in the upper half of the band.
Volume
Near average. Latest weekly volume of 22,329,200 is 99.6% of the 20-week average (22,416,145), indicating normal participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart is turning constructive. Price has reclaimed the 20-week and 50-week averages, and the weekly MACD histogram has turned positive and is expanding. A weekly close above the 20-week high at 213.32 would confirm the improvement, with the 60-week high at 257.54 as the larger reference.
