Bottom line
CW Technical Analysis Summary
CW (Curtiss-Wright Corporation) is in a corrective phase inside a longer-term uptrend. On the daily chart, price at 748.41 is above SMA20 (734.59, +1.88%) and just above SMA50 (745.08, +0.45%), and well above SMA200 (667.99, +12.04%). After reaching an all-time high at 808.16 in early July, the stock dropped to a 20-day low near 670.29 and then rebounded strongly, with a five-day return of +10.16%. RSI14 at 52.56 is neutral, and the daily MACD histogram at 2.69 is positive even though the MACD line at -2.18 is still below zero, suggesting downside momentum is fading. The weekly chart shows price at 724.00 just below the 20-week SMA (727.32, -0.46%) with a negative MACD histogram at -7.66, indicating intermediate momentum is cooling after a large multi-year advance. The longer-term trend remains intact as long as price holds above the 50-day SMA, but the near-term outlook is mixed until price reclaims the 20-period high at 786.44 and then the 808.16 all-time high.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 748.41 is above SMA20 (734.59, +1.88%), just above SMA50 (745.08, +0.45%), and well above SMA200 (667.99, +12.04%). The sharp late-July selloff that drove price to a 20-day low near 670.29 pulled SMA20 below SMA50, so the short-term structure is consolidating rather than trending. The longer-term uptrend remains intact, with price holding far above SMA200 and near the upper part of the 52-week range at 82.63%.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 52.56 sits near the 50 midline, neither overbought nor oversold. The MACD line at -2.18 is still below zero but has crossed back above the signal line at -4.87, and the histogram at 2.69 is positive, consistent with a recovery attempt after the late-July decline. Momentum is stabilizing rather than confirming a fresh upleg.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 29.35 (3.92% of price) reflects larger-than-normal daily ranges following the swing between the all-time high at 808.16 and the late-July low. Bollinger Bands (693.32 to 775.85) are wide, and price sits around the middle band, giving room before either band is tested.
- Volume
- About average. Latest volume of 208,500 is 99.1% of the 20-period average (210,420), showing neither heavy accumulation nor distribution during the rebound.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. After reaching an all-time high at 808.16 in early July, price dropped to the 20-day low at 670.29 and then rebounded strongly, gaining 10.16% over five sessions back to the SMA50 at 745.08. The positive MACD histogram suggests immediate downside pressure has eased. Near-term resistance is the 20-period high at 786.44, followed by the 808.16 all-time high. Support is SMA20 at 734.59, then the 20/60-period low at 670.29 with SMA200 at 667.99 just below. A decisive break above 786.44 would tilt the daily structure back to bullish, while a loss of 734.59 would open the path toward 670.29.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 724.00 is just below SMA20 (727.32, -0.46%) and well above SMA50 (639.55, +13.21%) and SMA200 (358.53, +101.94%). The recent pullback has put price under the 20-week SMA for the first time in the current upleg, while the multi-year uptrend above the 50-week and 200-week SMAs remains firmly intact.
- Momentum
- Cooling. RSI14 at 53.89 is near neutral. The MACD line at 29.15 remains well above zero but sits below the signal line at 36.81, and the histogram at -7.66 is negative, indicating intermediate momentum is decelerating after the strong advance to the all-time high.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 53.41 (7.38% of price) reflects the wide weekly ranges seen during the recent correction, which is unusually high for this stock.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 1,143,500 is 86.3% of the 20-week average (1,324,345), suggesting the pullback is not being driven by heavy distribution.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms a powerful multi-year uptrend that is undergoing a corrective phase. Price sits just below the 20-week SMA at 727.32 after peaking at the all-time high of 808.16, and the negative weekly MACD histogram points to cooling intermediate momentum. The trend remains constructive as long as price holds above SMA50 at 639.55. Support is the 20-period low at 625.44, then the 60-period low at 442.08. Resistance is the 20/60-period high at 808.16. A weekly close back above 727.32 would signal that the corrective phase is over.
