Bottom line

FTI Technical Analysis Summary

FTI (FTI Consulting) displays a cautiously constructive technical picture as of mid-July 2026. On the daily chart, price at 224.46 has reclaimed SMA20 (218.23) and SMA50 (214.76), indicating short-term momentum has turned positive. However, price remains below SMA200 (237.81), confirming the longer-term trend is still bearish. RSI14 at 57.33 on the daily chart shows building bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The daily MACD has generated a bullish crossover, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and a positive histogram at 1.43 — an encouraging early signal. The weekly timeframe still reflects a bearish structure with price below all key SMAs, though RSI at 49.83 is approaching the 50 midline from oversold territory. Key resistance lies at SMA200 (237.81) and the 60-day high (240.88). Support rests at 206.54 (20-day low) and 187.23 (52-week low). A sustained move above 237.81 would be needed to shift the long-term trend from bearish to neutral.

Daily (July 16, 2026)

Trend
Improving but mixed. Price at 224.46 is above SMA20 (218.23, +2.85%) and SMA50 (214.76, +4.52%) but remains below SMA200 (237.81, -5.62%). SMA20 and SMA50 are sloping upward while SMA200 continues to decline, creating a short-term positive divergence within a longer-term downtrend.
Momentum
Bullish with improving bias. RSI14 at 57.33 is above the 50 midline, indicating bullish momentum without overbought conditions. MACD line at 0.89 has crossed above the signal line at -0.54, and the histogram at 1.43 is positive — a constructive bullish crossover signal that suggests momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls after a period of consolidation.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 5.82 (2.59% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 2.6%. Bollinger Bands (206.74 to 232.96) show price near the upper band, consistent with the recent upward move. Band width is moderate, indicating normal volatility conditions for a consulting sector stock.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 312,400 is 72.8% of the 20-period average (429,200), indicating reduced participation. The recent rally lacks strong volume confirmation, which warrants some caution.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a positive development with FTI reclaiming both SMA20 and SMA50 after trending below them in Q2 2026. The bullish MACD crossover is a technically meaningful signal. However, the stock remains in a longer-term downtrend as confirmed by the declining SMA200 and price below it. Volume has been slightly lackluster during the rally, which reduces conviction. The 52-week position at 44.7% reflects the stock is in the lower-to-middle half of its annual range. A decisive move above SMA200 (237.81) would be a meaningful trend change signal.

Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish with early improvement signs. Price at 221.57 is below SMA20 (226.43), SMA50 (237.18), and SMA200 (248.65). The SMA20 is beginning to flatten but SMA50 and SMA200 continue to slope downward. The stock has been in a structural downtrend since late 2025.
Momentum
Neutral with improving bias. RSI14 at 49.83 has moved toward the 50 midline from oversold readings seen earlier in the year, a notable shift. MACD line at -2.57 is approaching the signal line at -4.13, and the histogram at 1.56 is positive, suggesting bearish momentum is fading.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 8.73 (3.94% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a mid-cap consulting stock. Bollinger Bands (201.86 to 249.14) are moderately wide with the lower band reflecting the recent lows.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 1,845,600 is 91.6% of the 20-week average (2,014,300), indicating typical participation levels.

Assessment

The weekly chart still reflects a bearish structure with price below all major SMAs. However, the shift in RSI toward the 50 midline and the improving MACD suggest the downtrend may be losing momentum. The stock has established a potential base around the 195 level, having bounced from the 52-week low of 187.23. A weekly close above SMA20 (226.43) would be the first step toward trend improvement, followed by SMA50 (237.18). The current setup is more constructive than it has been since the downtrend began, but a confirmed trend reversal has not yet occurred.
