Bottom line
GD Technical Analysis Summary
GD (General Dynamics) shows a strong bullish technical structure with price above all key moving averages on both the daily and weekly timeframes. The stock is trading near its 52-week high at $380.71. RSI14 at 64.27 on the daily and 62.74 on the weekly indicates bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The daily MACD at 8.09 with the signal line at 6.30 and a positive histogram at 1.79 confirms sustained upward momentum. Both timeframes show a bullish aligned moving average structure with SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200. The weekly MACD shows a bullish configuration with the MACD line at 6.94 above the signal line at 4.26 and a positive histogram at 2.68, reinforcing the long-term bullish outlook. Key support rests at $339.32 (20-day low), while resistance sits at $380.71 (20-day and 60-day high, also the 52-week high). A breakout above $380.71 would signal continued bullish momentum; a breakdown below $339.32 would suggest short-term trend weakening.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at $372.78 is above SMA20 ($359.65), SMA50 ($349.21), and SMA200 ($343.49). All three moving averages are in a bullish alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200), confirming a strong uptrend. The price is trading near the upper end of its 52-week range at the 91.37% position.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 64.27 is in bullish territory above the 50 midline, indicating upward momentum without overbought conditions. MACD (8.09) is well above zero with the MACD line above the signal line (6.30) and a positive, expanding histogram (1.79), confirming accelerating bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at $7.59 (2.04% of price) suggests manageable average daily movement. Bollinger Bands ($334.66 to $384.64) are moderately wide with price near the upper band, consistent with the current uptrend. No volatility contraction or expansion signal.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 975,800 is 70.3% of the 20-period average (1,389,020), indicating reduced participation in the latest session. The volume level does not suggest institutional accumulation or distribution.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a clear bullish structure. Price is above all key SMAs with bullish alignment, RSI is in healthy bullish territory, and the MACD histogram is expanding positively. The stock is testing the upper end of its range near the 52-week high at $380.71. Below-average volume on the latest session suggests some hesitation near resistance. A decisive move above $380.71 with increased volume would confirm the next leg higher.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at $375.06 is above SMA20 ($346.50), SMA50 ($338.98), and SMA200 ($269.35). All three moving averages are sloping upward, confirming a strong long-term uptrend. The price is at the 93.85% position of the 52-week range, reflecting sustained upward momentum.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 62.74 is above neutral and trending higher. MACD at 6.94 is above zero and above the signal line at 4.26, with a positive and expanding histogram at 2.68. This configuration indicates sustained bullish momentum at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at $16.53 (4.41% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges typical of a sustained uptrend. Bollinger Bands ($319.33 to $373.66) show price near the upper band, consistent with the bullish trend.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 4,875,300 is 76.7% of the 20-week average (6,353,750), suggesting the rally has occurred on relatively normal participation. No volume divergence is present.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is strongly bullish. All key SMAs are upward sloping with bullish alignment. RSI is trending higher in bullish territory without being overbought. The weekly MACD shows a strong bullish configuration with an expanding histogram. The long-term return of +106.63% over 252 weeks reflects a sustained structural uptrend. The stock is approaching its 52-week high, and a weekly close above $380.71 would be a significant bullish signal.
