Bottom line
CRH Technical Analysis Summary
CRH (CRH plc) presents a bearish near-term technical picture on both daily and weekly timeframes. The stock trades below all three key moving averages on the daily chart (SMA20 at 108.28, SMA50 at 107.45, SMA200 at 114.53), with the SMA200 sloping downward, confirming a medium-term downtrend. RSI14 at 40.93 on the daily and 44.28 on the weekly are both in bearish territory, and the MACD histogram is negative on both timeframes. The 52-week position at 30.32% reflects a stock trading near the lower end of its annual range. Key support is at the 60-day low of 97.80, and a break below this level would open the path toward the 52-week low at 90.57. Resistance starts at SMA20 (108.28) and the 20-day high (116.90). A recovery above SMA50 (107.45) and SMA200 (114.53) would be needed to shift the medium-term outlook.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 102.71 is below SMA20 (108.28), SMA50 (107.45), and SMA200 (114.53). The SMA200 is above the shorter-term averages, creating a bearish alignment that confirms the medium-term downtrend. All three SMAs are sloping downward.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 40.93 is below the 50 midline, indicating bearish momentum without reaching the oversold threshold of 30. MACD at -0.99 is below the signal line at -0.27 with a negative histogram of -0.71, confirming sustained bearish momentum on the daily timeframe.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 3.62 (3.53% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 3.5%. Bollinger Bands (101.86 to 114.70) show price near the lower band, reflecting persistent selling pressure and the potential for a volatility expansion or mean reversion.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 3,167,800 is 66.4% of the 20-period average (4,771,385), indicating reduced participation. The below-average volume during the decline suggests a lack of aggressive selling rather than panic distribution.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a clear bearish structure with price below all key moving averages and negative momentum indicators. The below-average volume tempers the bearish signal somewhat, but the trend alignment and weak RSI/MACD readings point to continued downside risk. A bounce from the 60-day low at 97.80 would be the first constructive development.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 104.71 is below SMA20 (108.50) and SMA50 (113.74) but well above SMA200 (79.98). Short-term weekly trend is bearish, but the SMA200 is sloping upward, confirming that the long-term uptrend from the past 5 years remains structurally intact.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 44.28 is below 50, indicating bearish momentum. MACD at -1.80 is below the signal line at -1.53 with a negative histogram of -0.27, though the MACD histogram is relatively flat, suggesting the pace of decline may be stabilizing on the weekly scale.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 7.96 (7.60% of price) reflects above-average weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (95.99 to 121.01) are moderately wide with price in the lower half of the bands, consistent with the ongoing corrective phase.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 17,143,600 is 70.0% of the 20-week average (24,486,755), suggesting below-average participation in the weekly decline.
Assessment
The weekly chart reveals a stock in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. While short-term momentum is negative and price is below the faster SMAs, the SMA200 at 79.98 and the 60-week low at 86.21 provide structural support. The flattening MACD histogram warrants monitoring for a potential trend change.
