Bottom line
CVX Technical Analysis Summary
CVX displays a bullish technical structure across timeframes. On the daily chart, price at 193.18 trades above SMA20 (186.60), SMA50 (182.79), and SMA200 (173.58) in a bullish moving average alignment, with a positive MACD histogram at 0.77 and RSI at 60.31. The weekly chart is also bullish, with price at 196.83 above its SMA20 (186.75), SMA50 (170.11), and SMA200 (149.13), although the weekly MACD histogram is marginally negative at -0.13. CVX sits at 71.6% of its 52-week range on the daily timeframe and 76.9% on the weekly timeframe. The stock gained 14.9% over the last 20 daily sessions and 15.1% over the last 5 weeks. Immediate resistance sits at 197.69 (20-day high), then 198.87 (60-day high) and 212.76 (52-week high). Key support is at 186.60 (daily SMA20), 182.79 (daily SMA50), and 170.00 (20-day low). A close above 198.87 would extend the breakout; a break below 170.00 would undermine the bullish setup.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 193.18 is above SMA20 (186.60), SMA50 (182.79), and SMA200 (173.58), with the moving averages stacked in a bullish order (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200). SMA200 continues to slope upward, confirming the longer-term uptrend. The latest completed session pulled back 1.85% after the recent advance.
- Momentum
- Mildly bullish. RSI14 at 60.31 is above the 50 midline and below the overbought threshold of 70. MACD at 4.02 is above the signal line at 3.25, and the histogram is positive at 0.77, consistent with upward momentum that is not yet stretched.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 4.31 (2.23% of price) reflects typical daily swings for CVX. Bollinger Bands span 172.26 to 200.94, with price trading in the upper portion of the band after the recent advance.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 9,541,600 is 126% of the 20-period average (7,570,690), showing participation behind the recent move.
Assessment
The daily chart is constructively bullish. Price holds above all major moving averages with a positive MACD histogram and above-average volume. The 14.9% gain over the last 20 sessions pushed price toward the upper Bollinger Band and the 20-day high at 197.69. The pullback on the latest completed session was modest. A close above 197.69 would open the path toward the 60-day high at 198.87, while a break below the daily SMA20 at 186.60 would signal a loss of short-term momentum.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 196.83 is above SMA20 (186.75), SMA50 (170.11), and SMA200 (149.13) in a bullish alignment. The 5-week return of +15.06% shows the advance has been strong. Price remains well above the long-term SMA200, which continues to slope upward.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 61.12 is above the 50 midline but below overbought. MACD at 4.08 sits just below the signal line at 4.20, with a marginally negative histogram of -0.13, indicating the weekly advance is consolidating rather than accelerating.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 10.19 (5.18% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for an energy producer.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest weekly volume of 39,480,300 is 79% of the 20-week average (49,994,570), suggesting the latest completed week traded with reduced participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a bullish longer-term structure with price above all major moving averages. The slightly negative MACD histogram suggests momentum is pausing after the strong 15.1% five-week advance. Price trades near the upper part of the weekly Bollinger range at 206.32. Sustained closes above the weekly SMA20 at 186.75 would keep the structure intact, while the 20-week low at 164.78 marks the key downside reference.
