Bottom line

DEO Technical Analysis Summary

DEO displays a mixed technical picture. The daily timeframe shows a mildly bearish bias with price trading near its SMA50 and SMA200, reflecting a lack of clear directional conviction. RSI near 44 on the daily chart is in bearish territory, while the MACD histogram remains negative. On the weekly timeframe, the trend is more neutral with price oscillating around moving averages. Key support rests near 78.50 from recent swing lows, with further support at 74.00. Resistance is near 83.50, with stronger resistance at 86.50. The stock has been range-bound since early 2026, and a breakout from this range would establish the next directional bias.

Multi-Timeframe Technical Dashboard

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

Daily (July 17, 2026)

Trend
Mildly Bearish. Price at 81.13 is marginally below SMA20 (81.45) but near SMA50 (81.22) and SMA200 (81.05). The SMA20 is below SMA50, suggesting short-term weakness. The SMA200 is flattening, indicating the long-term trend lacks strong directional conviction.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 44.17 is in bearish territory below 50. MACD at -0.19 with signal at -0.06 and a negative histogram of -0.13 indicates continued bearish momentum. The negative MACD reading has persisted for several weeks.
Volatility
Low. ATR14 at 0.87 (1.07% of price) suggests below-average daily movement relative to the price level. Bollinger Bands (79.60 to 83.42) are relatively narrow, reflecting a period of low volatility.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 1,245,800 is 72.3% of the 20-period average (1,723,400), indicating reduced participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a stock trading in a narrow range without clear directional conviction. Price hovers around its key moving averages. RSI in bearish territory and negative MACD suggest near-term weakness. Low volatility and below-average volume indicate the market is waiting for a catalyst. A move above SMA20 (81.45) with volume would be a preliminary bullish signal; a break below 79.60 would suggest further downside.

Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)

Trend
Neutral. Price at 80.88 is near SMA20 (81.95), below SMA50 (83.40), and above SMA200 (77.50). The SMA200 is sloping slightly upward but both SMA20 and SMA50 are flat to declining, creating a mixed picture. The price is caught between moving averages.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 46.81 is slightly below the 50 midpoint, indicating weak momentum without a clear direction. MACD at -0.45 with signal at -0.32 and a negative histogram of -0.13 shows persistent but not accelerating bearish momentum on the weekly scale.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.01 (2.49% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges for a large-cap consumer defensive stock.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 6,843,200 is 88.6% of the 20-week average (7,725,400), indicating slightly below-normal participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a neutral to slightly cautious picture. Price is stuck between the SMA20 and SMA200 without a clear trend. The flattening SMA50 and declining SMA20 suggest weakening intermediate-term momentum. RSI slightly below 50 and a negative MACD add to the cautious view. The 52-week position at 47.37% reflects a stock trading near the middle of its yearly range, confirming the absence of a strong trend. A weekly close above 83.50 would shift the bias bullish; a close below 78.50 would turn it bearish.
