Bottom line
FSLR Technical Analysis Summary
FSLR (First Solar, Inc.) shows a rebound in progress at the August 5, 2026 cutoff. On the daily chart, price at 236.80 has reclaimed SMA20 (215.63) and SMA200 (234.26) after a sharp recovery from the early-August low, with the MACD line above its signal and a positive histogram (5.19) confirming a bullish crossover, while RSI at 58.08 sits above the 50 midline. The stock remains below SMA50 (244.54) and the 20-day high at 252.17. The weekly chart at 211.03 is more cautious: price is above the rising SMA200 (192.53) but below SMA20 (225.86) and SMA50 (230.72), and the weekly MACD histogram at -4.48 is still negative. Key resistance sits at 244.54 to 252.17, with the 52-week high at 320.95 above. Support runs from SMA20 at 215.63 through the 20-day low at 195.84. A sustained move above 252.17 would strengthen the bullish case, while a loss of 215.63 would undermine the rebound.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 236.80 is above SMA20 (215.63) and SMA200 (234.26) but below SMA50 (244.54). The averages are not yet in a clean bullish stack, but price has reclaimed the 20-day and 200-day averages after the sharp rebound, and the SMA200 is sloping upward, supporting the longer-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bullish. RSI14 at 58.08 is above the 50 midline. The MACD line at -2.55 is above its signal at -7.75 with a positive histogram at 5.19, confirming a bullish crossover even though both lines remain below zero.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 12.96 (5.47% of price) reflects above-average daily swings. Bollinger Bands (190.57 to 240.68) are wide after the recent volatility, and price is trading in the upper portion near the upper band following the advance.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 3,236,300 is about 146% of the 20-period average (2,221,830), indicating strong participation in the rebound.
Assessment
The daily timeframe has turned constructive after the pullback. Price has reclaimed SMA20 and SMA200, and the bullish MACD crossover with a positive histogram supports the recovery, backed by above-average volume. The main caveat is that price remains below SMA50 at 244.54 and the 20-day high at 252.17. A sustained close above the SMA50/20-day high area would strengthen the recovery, while a drop back below SMA20 at 215.63 would undermine it.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 211.03 is below SMA20 (225.86) and SMA50 (230.72) but above SMA200 (192.53), which is still sloping upward. The medium-term averages have turned down following the correction from the highs, while the longer-term uptrend remains intact.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 45.17 is in neutral territory, just below the 50 midline. The MACD line at -0.64 remains below its signal at 3.84 with a negative histogram at -4.48, indicating weekly momentum is still weak after the sharp correction.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 26.07 (12.36% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with a stock that has undergone a large drawdown within a longer-term uptrend.
- Volume
- Around average. Weekly volume of 11,455,100 is about 105% of the 20-week average (10,868,325), showing normal participation during the recent recovery week.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is stabilizing. Price has held above the rising SMA200 at 192.53 and posted a +4.05% gain in the last completed week, but it remains below SMA20 (225.86) and SMA50 (230.72), and the weekly MACD histogram is still negative. A weekly close back above SMA20 at 225.86 would improve the outlook, while a break below the 20-week low at 182.99 would keep the correction in force.
