Bottom line

COHR Technical Analysis Summary

COHR (Coherent Corp) shows a stark contrast between timeframes. The weekly trend remains strongly bullish with price at 324.50 above SMA20 (322.88), SMA50 (219.39), and SMA200 (98.73), reflecting the stock's +428% 252-week return driven by AI photonics demand. However, the daily trend has turned bearish with price at 307.39 sharply below SMA20 (367.54) and SMA50 (368.45), and RSI14 at 38.01 in bearish territory. MACD on the daily is deeply negative (-15.77) with the histogram expanding downward. The stock has corrected approximately 30% from the 52-week high of 440.00. Key support sits at 304.07 (20-day low) and 291.00 (60-day low). A sustained break above SMA20 at 367.54 would signal trend improvement; a loss of 304.07 would open the door to further downside toward 291.00.

Daily (July 13, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 307.39 is below SMA20 (367.54) and SMA50 (368.45), but remains above SMA200 (243.18). The price has been in a sharp downtrend since peaking at 440.00 in late June 2026, with consecutive lower highs and lower lows on the daily chart. The SMA200 at 243.18 serves as the final major support.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 38.01 is below the 50 midline and approaching oversold territory, indicating bearish momentum. MACD at -15.77 is deep in negative territory below both zero and the signal line (-7.08). The histogram at -8.70 is expanding downward, confirming intensifying bearish momentum.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 31.33 (10.19% of price) reflects large daily swings, consistent with the aggressive correction. Bollinger Bands (296.58 to 438.50) are extremely wide with price hugging the lower band, signaling persistent selling pressure.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 3,208,700 is 59.2% of the 20-period average (5,417,550), suggesting declining participation during the selloff rather than panic selling.

Assessment

The daily timeframe is clearly bearish. Price is below both short-term moving averages with RSI in bearish territory and MACD deeply negative. The ATR indicates elevated volatility typical of sharp corrections. The 20-day low at 304.07 is the immediate support to watch. A bounce from this level could provide a short-term relief rally, but the trend will remain bearish until the price reclaims SMA20 at 367.54.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 324.50 is above SMA20 (322.88), SMA50 (219.39), and SMA200 (98.73). The SMA200 at 98.73 is steeply upward sloping, confirming a powerful long-term uptrend. SMA20 at 322.88 is flat, suggesting the weekly trend is taking a breather after the massive run from the 84.35 52-week low.
Momentum
Neutral with bearish tilt. RSI14 at 55.92 is slightly above neutral but declining from overbought levels earlier in the year. MACD at 42.08 remains firmly above zero, but the signal line at 48.44 is above the MACD line. The histogram at -6.36 is negative, indicating momentum is shifting from bullish to neutral.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 51.63 (15.91% of price) reflects extremely large weekly ranges, consistent with the stock's status as an AI high-beta name. Bollinger Bands (215.92 to 429.83) are wide, reflecting the large price swings of the past several weeks.
Volume
Below average. Latest weekly volume of 20,795,800 is 62.3% of the 20-week average (33,374,015), indicating lower participation in the recent pullback relative to the accumulation phase.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe remains structurally bullish but is showing signs of fatigue. The long-term uptrend is intact with price above SMA200 and SMA50. However, the bearish MACD histogram crossover and falling RSI suggest momentum is fading. The weekly SMA20 at 322.88 is now critical: a weekly close below this level would indicate a deeper correction is underway.
