Bottom line

GPC Technical Analysis Summary

GPC has recovered firmly off its 52-week low near 89.80 and is now trading above its key daily moving averages. The daily chart is bullish-leaning with price at 128.52 above SMA20 at 124.59, SMA50 at 113.09 and SMA200 at 117.33, supported by a +23.16% gain over the last 60 trading days. RSI at 60.95 is constructive without being overbought, and the weekly MACD has turned positive with a rising histogram, suggesting improving longer-term momentum. That said, the daily MACD histogram is slightly negative and the latest up day came on below-average volume, so the advance is not yet fully confirmed by strong participation. Price is consolidating between the 20-day low near 109.50 and the 20-day high near 132.00, with the 60-day high at 135.44 as the next meaningful resistance. On the weekly chart, price remains below the 200-week SMA at 130.38, so the longer-term trend has not fully turned. A sustained close above 135.44 would signal the next leg higher, while a break below 109.50 would suggest the recovery has stalled.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed to Bullish. Price at 128.52 is above SMA20 (124.59), SMA50 (113.09) and SMA200 (117.33). SMA20 is above SMA50 and SMA200, confirming a constructive near-term structure, although SMA50 remains below SMA200. The +23.16% 60-period gain reflects the strong recovery off the 52-week low, while the flat 20-period return shows price consolidating after the recent run.
Momentum
Constructive. RSI14 at 60.95 is bullish but below the 70 overbought threshold, leaving room for further upside. MACD line at 3.45 sits just below the signal at 3.80 with a slightly negative histogram of -0.35, indicating momentum cooled from the earlier advance rather than broke down.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 4.55 (3.54% of price) points to average daily swings near 3.5%. Bollinger Bands from 118.38 to 130.79 place price in the upper half of the band, consistent with the recent uptrend.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 1,126,800 is about 61.6% of the 20-period average (1,828,810), indicating lighter participation on the recent bounce.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a firm recovery from the 52-week low near 89.80 with price above all key moving averages. RSI near 61 is bullish without overbought conditions, but the slightly negative MACD histogram and below-average volume on the latest up day mean the advance still needs confirmation. A sustained close above the 20-day high at 132.00 and the 60-day high at 135.44 would signal a continuation, while a loss of the 20-day low at 109.50 would argue the recovery has stalled.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 124.37 is above SMA20 (109.00) and SMA50 (120.58) but below SMA200 (130.38). The position under the 200-week SMA shows the longer-term trend has not fully reversed despite the +18.90% 20-week gain.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 57.19 is in neutral territory leaning positive. MACD line at 1.71 is above the signal at -1.62 with a positive histogram of 3.33, indicating improving weekly momentum.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 9.08 (7.30% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with the sharp recovery and the subsequent pullback.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 6,788,000 is about 73.9% of the 20-week average (9,180,830), indicating the recent weekly gains were not matched by heavy participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a strong recovery off the lows with price above SMA20 and SMA50, and the MACD turning positive with a rising histogram. However, price remains below the 200-week SMA at 130.38, so the long-term trend is not yet confirmed as bullish. The key level to watch is the 200-week SMA, and a sustained weekly close above 130.38 would strengthen the case for a longer-term trend shift.
