Bottom line

GLW Technical Analysis Summary

GLW has corrected sharply after a strong rally. The stock peaked at 271.78 on June 30 and sold off to a low of 114.50 on July 28 before recovering to 146.64 as of the August 3 data cutoff, with the last completed session up 6.07%. The daily chart is mixed, with price at 146.64 below SMA20 (159.83) and SMA50 (181.77) but above SMA200 (135.29), and RSI14 at 42.47 below the 50 midline. The weekly chart shows price at 138.25 below SMA20 (171.52) but still above SMA50 (124.66) and SMA200 (58.91), keeping the long-term uptrend intact while the medium-term picture remains under pressure. The stock sits at 40.7% of its 52-week range. Key support is at 135.29 (daily SMA200) and 114.50 (20- and 60-period low on both timeframes). Key resistance is at 159.83 (daily SMA20), 181.77 (daily SMA50), and 204.48 (daily 20-period high). A sustained close above SMA20 would signal the correction is stabilizing; a break below 114.50 would open the door to further downside.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 146.64 trades below SMA20 (159.83) and SMA50 (181.77) but above SMA200 (135.29). The stock corrected sharply from the June 30 high of 271.78, printing a low of 114.50 on July 28 before bouncing. The short-term moving averages are in a bearish alignment, while the upward-sloping SMA200 keeps the longer-term structure constructive.
Momentum
Weak but improving. RSI14 at 42.47 is below the 50 midline, indicating lingering bearish momentum after the recent decline. MACD at -14.99 is below the signal line at -13.29 with a negative histogram of -1.70. The last completed session rose 6.07%, an early attempt to stabilize, though the MACD has not yet turned positive.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 14.75 (10.06% of price) reflects elevated daily swings, consistent with the sharp correction. Bollinger Bands (117.33 to 202.34) are wide, with price in the lower half of the range after the selloff.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 12,561,000 is 91.4% of the 20-period average (13,744,215), indicating the recent bounce occurred on modest participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a stock in a steep correction after peaking at 271.78 on June 30. Price fell to a low of 114.50 on July 28 on heavy volume, then staged a partial recovery, closing at 146.64 on August 3 after a 6.07% gain. Price remains below SMA20 and SMA50, and the RSI is below 50, so the short-term trend is still down. The 20-period return of -24.72% captures the recent selloff. A move back above SMA20 at 159.83 would mark the first sign of trend repair, while the SMA200 at 135.29 and the 114.50 low define the key support zone below.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 138.25 is below SMA20 (171.52) but above SMA50 (124.66) and SMA200 (58.91). The medium-term uptrend has been damaged by the sharp multi-week decline, with the 5-period return of -37.46% showing the severity of the pullback. The upward-sloping SMA200 remains well below price, keeping the long-term structure intact.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 44.30 is below the 50 midline. MACD at 11.59 is below the signal line at 19.62 with a negative histogram of -8.03, showing downside momentum that has expanded over recent weeks.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 28.14 (20.35% of price) reflects very wide weekly ranges, consistent with the violent selloff from the June high. Bollinger Bands (123.36 to 219.69) are wide, with price near the lower band.
Volume
Above average. Latest weekly volume of 119,374,200 is 175.3% of the 20-week average (68,099,700), indicating heavy participation during the decline, a sign of distribution rather than a quiet pullback.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms a sharp pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 138.25 is below SMA20 (171.52) but still above SMA50 (124.66) and SMA200 (58.91). The last completed week fell 5.73% on well-above-average volume, and the 5-period return of -37.46% shows how quickly the stock gave back its gains. The stock remains above its major long-term averages, so the trend is corrective rather than broken, but it would need to reclaim the weekly SMA20 to start repairing the medium-term picture.
