Bottom line

ET Technical Analysis Summary

ET (Energy Transfer LP) shows a modestly constructive technical setup after recovering from its April 2026 lows. On the daily chart, price at 21.45 is above SMA20 (21.02) and SMA50 (20.86), indicating short-term momentum is positive, but remains below SMA200 (22.18), confirming the longer-term trend is not yet bullish. RSI14 at 54.27 on the daily chart reflects moderate bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The daily MACD has shown a bullish crossover with the MACD line at 0.12 above the signal line at 0.06, and the histogram at +0.06 is positive — suggesting building upside momentum. The weekly timeframe shows price at 21.38 below SMA20 (21.94) but above SMA50 (21.10) and well above SMA200 (17.59), reflecting a mixed intermediate-term picture within a solid long-term uptrend. Key support lies at 20.10 (20-day low) and 19.29 (60-day low). Key resistance stands at 22.16 (20-day high) and the SMA200 at 22.18, a confluence zone that will be critical for trend confirmation.

Daily (July 15, 2026)

Trend
Slightly bullish short-term within a neutral-to-bearish longer-term context. Price at 21.45 is above SMA20 (21.02) and SMA50 (20.86) but below SMA200 (22.18). The SMA20 has crossed above SMA50, a bullish alignment signal. The SMA200 is flat to slightly downward, reflecting the broader consolidation following the 2025 highs.
Momentum
Moderately bullish and improving. RSI14 at 54.27 is in bullish territory above the 50 midline but not overbought. MACD at 0.12 is above the signal line at 0.06 with a positive, rising histogram at +0.06, indicating bullish momentum is gaining traction. The MACD crossover that occurred several periods ago remains valid.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 0.55 (2.56% of price) reflects average daily movement of approximately 2.6%. Bollinger Bands (20.12 to 22.18) show normal width with price trending above the middle band, reflecting the current bullish short-term phase.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 8,200,000 is approximately 88% of the 20-period average (9,318,000), indicating modest participation during the recovery phase.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a stock recovering from its 60-day lows near 19.29 with improving momentum. The moving average alignment (SMA20 above SMA50) is a positive technical development, and the MACD histogram expanding positively suggests the recovery has room to continue. The primary resistance is the SMA200 at 22.18, which also coincides with the 20-day high at 22.16 — a break above this level would be a significant bullish signal. Volume is adequate but not surging, suggesting this is a measured recovery rather than a panicked short squeeze.

Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 21.38 is below SMA20 (21.94) but above SMA50 (21.10) and SMA200 (17.59). The SMA200 is clearly upward sloping, confirming the long-term uptrend established over the past several years. Price has recovered from a dip below all three averages in April 2026 to reclaim SMA50 and SMA200 but still trades below SMA20.
Momentum
Neutral to slightly bullish. RSI14 at 53.84 is above the 50 midline, indicating gradually improving momentum on the weekly timeframe. MACD at 0.08 is at the signal line with essentially zero histogram, reflecting the transition from bearish to neutral momentum on the weekly scale.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.14 (5.33% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (19.96 to 24.00) are within normal parameters.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume is approximately 75% of the 20-week average, consistent with the measured recovery pace.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a stock that experienced a meaningful correction in early 2026 but is in the process of recovering. The key observation is that price has reclaimed SMA50 and SMA200 but still faces resistance at SMA20 (21.94). A weekly close above SMA20 would confirm the intermediate-term downtrend is reversing. The rising SMA200 provides a solid foundation for the long-term bullish thesis, and the RSI recovering above 50 supports the view that the correction is maturing.
