Bottom line

EL Technical Analysis Summary

EL has recovered off the spring lows, and the daily chart is turning more constructive while the weekly structure remains below its long-term averages as of the August 3, 2026 cutoff. The 84.68 daily close is above SMA20 (82.73) and SMA50 (83.95) but below SMA200 (91.75). Daily RSI14 at 54.85 is above the neutral midpoint, and the daily MACD histogram is positive at 0.35, supporting the rebound. On the weekly chart, price at 83.90 is back above the weekly SMA20 (81.01) but remains well below SMA50 (91.32) and SMA200 (123.06), so the multi-year downtrend is not yet resolved. Key resistance is at 87.50 (20-day high) and 91.99 (60-day high). Support rests at 78.66 (20-day low), 74.97 (60-day low), and the 52-week low at 65.96.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed but improving. The August 3 close at 84.68 is above SMA20 (82.73) and SMA50 (83.95) but still below SMA200 (91.75). Price has climbed back above the short and medium averages after rebounding off the spring lows, while the SMA200 continues to slope downward.
Momentum
Constructive. RSI14 at 54.85 is above the neutral midpoint and below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at 0.30 against a -0.05 signal leaves a positive 0.35 histogram, confirming improving upside momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 is 2.72, or 3.21% of price. Bollinger Bands span 79.84 to 85.62, with the close near the upper band after the recent advance.
Volume
Slightly below average. August 3 volume was 1,893,000 shares, or 89.19% of the 20-session average of 2,122,330.

Assessment

The daily timeframe is turning more constructive. Price has reclaimed SMA20 and SMA50, RSI is above the midpoint, and the MACD histogram is positive, pointing to a recovery attempt within a longer-term downtrend. A sustained move above the 87.50 20-day high would extend the rebound. Below-average volume on the latest session and the distance below SMA200 are the main caution points.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Still bearish. The completed weekly close at 83.90 is above SMA20 (81.01) but below SMA50 (91.32) and well below SMA200 (123.06). Price is above the weekly SMA20 for the first time in the recovery, an early stabilization sign but not yet a trend change.
Momentum
Neutral. Weekly RSI14 at 48.12 is just below the midpoint. MACD is -2.38 against a -2.66 signal, and the histogram has turned positive at 0.29, indicating downside momentum is fading.
Volatility
High. ATR14 is 8.16, or 9.73% of the weekly close. Bollinger Bands span 68.89 to 93.13, still wide after the sharp repricing.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume was 10,935,000 shares, or 58.85% of the 20-week average of 18,580,715.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe remains structurally bearish with price below SMA50 and SMA200, but momentum is stabilizing and price has reclaimed the weekly SMA20. A weekly close above SMA50 at 91.32 would be a more meaningful constructive signal. The bearish case stays intact until price breaks above the 20-week high at 92.35.
