Bottom line
FCX Technical Analysis Summary
FCX technical analysis shows the price recovering off the late-July pullback, with the daily chart turning back up from below SMA20. As of the August 3, 2026 daily cutoff, price at 63.64 sits above SMA20 (61.22) and SMA200 (56.97) but just below SMA50 (63.53). Daily RSI at 53.59 is neutral, and the daily MACD histogram has turned positive at 0.36, signaling improving near-term momentum. The weekly chart stays bullish with price at 62.63 above all weekly SMAs and weekly RSI at 53.22. FCX trades at the 77.3rd percentile of its 52-week range on the daily chart. A daily close above SMA50 at 63.53 would confirm renewed strength toward the 20-day high at 65.43, while a break below the 20-day low at 55.86 would negate the short-term recovery.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed but improving. Price at 63.64 is above SMA20 (61.22) and SMA200 (56.97) but just below SMA50 (63.53). SMA20 remains below SMA50, which keeps the short-term structure neutral, while the upward-sloping SMA200 keeps the longer-term trend intact. The bounce back above SMA20 is the first step toward a more bullish alignment.
- Momentum
- Neutral turning positive. RSI14 at 53.59 sits in the middle of the neutral zone. The MACD line at 0.02 is above the signal line at -0.34 with a positive histogram of 0.36, indicating that near-term downside momentum has faded and the daily MACD has turned positive for the first time in the recent correction.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.85 (4.48% of price) reflects above-average daily swings for a cyclical commodity name. Bollinger Bands run from 57.14 to 65.29, and price at 63.64 is trading in the upper half of the bands after the bounce.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 8,949,600 is 0.60x the 20-period average (14,867,800), indicating the rebound is taking place on reduced participation so far.
Assessment
The daily chart shows FCX recovering from the July pullback. Price has reclaimed SMA20 at 61.22 and the MACD histogram has turned positive, but price still faces resistance at SMA50 at 63.53. The neutral RSI leaves room in either direction. A confirmed close above SMA50 would shift the near-term bias higher, while a break back below SMA20 at 61.22 would return the focus to the 20-day low at 55.86.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 62.63 is above SMA20 (62.18), SMA50 (54.29), and SMA200 (43.39), with all three SMAs in bullish alignment and the SMA200 sloping upward. The multi-year uptrend remains firmly intact.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 53.22 sits near the midpoint, indicating no strong directional bias at the weekly scale. MACD at 1.90 is below the signal line at 2.75 with a negative histogram of -0.85, reflecting lingering corrective momentum that has not yet turned positive.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.26 (9.99% of price) captures the wide weekly ranges typical of a cyclical commodity name, including the recent swing between the 52-week high at 72.11 and the pullback low.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 71,502,400 is 0.97x the 20-week average (73,796,825), indicating normal participation during the recent bounce.
Assessment
The weekly chart keeps FCX in a clear uptrend. Price above all weekly SMAs and at the 74.6th percentile of the 52-week range confirms the medium-term bullish structure, while the still-negative weekly MACD histogram shows the correction from the 72.11 high is not fully resolved. The weekly SMA50 at 54.29 and the 20-week low at 50.56 form the meaningful support zone, and a weekly close above SMA20 at 62.18 would reinforce the recovery.
