Bottom line
FCX Technical Analysis Summary
FCX presents a corrective technical setup as of mid-July 2026. The daily chart shows price at 59.97 trading below both SMA20 (63.65) and SMA50 (63.47), reflecting persistent short-term weakness after the decline from the 52-week high of 72.28. RSI14 at 43.17 sits below the midpoint, and the MACD histogram at -0.38 points to fading bearish momentum but has not yet crossed positive. The weekly chart tells a similar story, with price at 61.52 below SMA20 (62.30) and RSI at 51.84 hovering near neutral. The weekly MACD histogram remains negative at -0.77, confirming ongoing corrective pressure at the broader timeframe. The immediate test is whether FCX can reclaim SMA20 at 63.65 on the daily chart to signal a potential trend reversal; failure to hold above the 20-day low at 56.00 would open the door to deeper selling.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 59.97 is below SMA20 (63.65) and SMA50 (63.47), though remains above SMA200 (55.42). SMA20 is below SMA50, confirming a short-term downtrend. SMA200 slopes upward, keeping the long-term structural trend intact.
- Momentum
- Bearish leaning. RSI14 at 43.17 sits in bearish territory below the midpoint. MACD at -1.43 is below the signal line at -1.05, and the histogram at -0.38 is still negative but narrowing. This suggests bearish momentum is decelerating but has not yet turned positive.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.75 (4.58% of price) reflects above-average daily swings. Bollinger Bands (55.76 to 71.54) are wide, and price is trading near the lower band, consistent with the ongoing corrective phase.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 12,721,600 is 0.81x the 20-period average (15,623,515), indicating subdued participation during the pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows FCX in a corrective downtrend with price below both SMA20 and SMA50. The narrowing MACD histogram signals that selling pressure may be exhausting, but RSI at 43.17 has room before reaching oversold levels. The key level to watch is the 20-day low at 56.00, which acts as near-term support. A sustained close above SMA20 at 63.65 would be the first sign of a potential trend change. For now, the path of least resistance remains lower.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 61.52 is marginally below SMA20 (62.30) but well above SMA50 (53.21) and SMA200 (42.97). SMA20 has flattened but is below SMA50, suggesting the intermediate-term trend is losing upward momentum rather than reversing decisively.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 51.84 is near the midpoint, indicating no clear directional bias. MACD at 2.70 is below the signal line at 3.47 with a negative histogram of -0.77, reflecting mild bearish momentum at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.23 (10.12% of price) captures the wide weekly ranges characteristic of a cyclical commodity name during a correction from the 52-week high of 72.28.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 84,694,700 is 1.09x the 20-week average (77,653,500), indicating normal to slightly elevated participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart corroborates the daily with price trading right around SMA20. The negative MACD histogram and roughly neutral RSI suggest the market is in a wait-and-see mode. Price at 71.24% of the 52-week range reflects the pullback from 72.28. The weekly SMA50 at 53.21 and the 20-week low at 50.68 form the next meaningful support zone. A weekly close above SMA20 at 62.30 would provide the first bullish signal on this timeframe.
