Bottom line
ESS Technical Analysis Summary
ESS technical analysis as of August 3, 2026 shows a pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 285.88 on the daily chart sits below the 20-day SMA (292.74) but above the 50-day (285.40) and 200-day (259.54) SMAs, while the weekly trend stays bullish with price above all three weekly SMAs. Daily RSI at 45.61 has cooled below the 50 midline after the drop from the 303.35 high, and the daily MACD histogram is negative at -1.83, pointing to near-term weakness. The weekly RSI at 58.54 and a positive weekly MACD histogram at 2.01 keep the medium-term momentum constructive. Key support is at 279.32 (20-day low) and 261.18 (60-day low), with resistance at 303.35. A recovery above the 20-day SMA would improve the near-term setup, while a close below 279.32 would suggest a deeper correction.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed in the short term within a longer uptrend. Price at 285.88 is below the 20-day SMA (292.74) but above the 50-day (285.40) and 200-day (259.54) SMAs. The moving average alignment remains bullish (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200), but the pullback from the 303.35 high has pushed price under the 20-day average, and the 20-day low at 279.32 marks the near-term downside reference.
- Momentum
- Neutral to weak. RSI14 at 45.61 is below the 50 midline after the recent pullback, easing from the higher readings seen near the July high. MACD line at 0.45 is below the signal line at 2.28 with a negative histogram at -1.83, reflecting a short-term bearish crossover while the MACD line remains above zero.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.89 (2.06% of price) reflects typical daily swings of about 5.89 points. Bollinger Bands (284.06 to 301.41) are moderately wide, with price trading near the lower band after the pullback.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 545,900 is 104.1% of the 20-period average (524,335), indicating modest participation during the pullback without signs of heavy distribution.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a pullback inside a longer-term uptrend. Price is below the 20-day SMA but remains above the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, and RSI at 45.61 reflects neutral momentum after the drop from the 303.35 high. A reclaim of the 20-day SMA (292.74) would signal stabilization, while a break below the 20-day low at 279.32 would point to a deeper correction toward the 60-day low at 261.18.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 284.14 is above the 20-week SMA (269.58), 50-week (259.01), and 200-week (238.35) SMAs with a bullish alignment (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200). The weekly trend remains up even though the latest week closed lower.
- Momentum
- Bullish but easing. RSI14 at 58.54 is above the 50 midline, keeping the medium-term momentum in positive territory. MACD line at 10.53 is above the signal line at 8.52 with a positive histogram at 2.01, confirming the uptrend remains supported.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 11.40 (4.01% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (230.22 to 308.95) show price in the upper half of the band range, consistent with the uptrend while leaving room below.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest weekly volume of 3,160,100 is 135.0% of the 20-week average (2,341,035), showing elevated participation in the pullback week.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe keeps a bullish structure. Price is above all three weekly SMAs with positive MACD momentum, and RSI at 58.54 remains constructive. The pullback week closed at 284.14, holding above the 20-week SMA. As long as price holds above the 20-day low support zone near 279.32 and the 20-week SMA at 269.58, the broader uptrend stays intact, and a weekly close back above 303.35 would confirm renewed strength.
