Bottom line
HAL Technical Analysis Summary
HAL (Halliburton Company) shows a weak-to-cautious technical picture at the August 3, 2026 cutoff. The daily chart has price at 31.89 below all three major averages, SMA20 (33.56), SMA50 (35.98), and SMA200 (33.58), after a 20.7% decline over the past 60 sessions, with RSI at 36.78 and a slightly negative MACD histogram (-0.06). The weekly chart is steadier, with price at 32.25 above SMA50 (31.73) and SMA200 (30.91) but below SMA20 (37.40), and a clearly negative weekly MACD histogram (-1.14). The stock sits in the middle of its 52-week range at 50.95% daily and 52.49% weekly. Key support is at 30.98 (20-period low on both timeframes), followed by the weekly cluster at 31.73 (SMA50) and 30.91 (SMA200). Key resistance is at 33.58 (daily SMA200), then 36.20 (daily 20-period high) and 37.40 (weekly SMA20). A sustained close back above 33.58 would improve the short-term picture; a break below 30.98 would confirm a bearish shift.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Weak. Price at 31.89 is below SMA20 (33.56), SMA50 (35.98), and SMA200 (33.58), meaning the stock has fallen through all three major averages after the recent decline. The SMA20 has slipped just below the SMA200, and the 200-day average at 33.58 now acts as near-term resistance rather than support. Price would need to reclaim the SMA200 to stabilize the short-term picture.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 36.78 is below the 50 midline and approaching oversold territory. The MACD line at -1.14 is below its signal at -1.08 with a slightly negative histogram at -0.06, indicating persistent but fading bearish momentum. The MACD line is close to its signal, so a crossover could be approaching, but momentum remains on the downside for now.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.08 (3.38% of price) indicates typical daily swings for HAL. Bollinger Bands (30.66 to 36.45) show price trading in the lower portion of the band, reflecting the recent weakness after price declined toward the lower band.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 10,270,700 is about 84% of the 20-period average (12,247,445), indicating reduced participation during the recent decline.
Assessment
The daily timeframe is bearish-leaning. Price is below all three major averages and momentum is negative, with RSI at 36.78 and a slightly negative MACD histogram. The stock has declined 20.7% over the past 60 sessions and 3.4% over the past 20 sessions. The immediate support zone is 30.98 (20-period low), and reclaiming the SMA200 at 33.58 would be the first sign of stabilization. Below-average volume suggests the decline may be losing urgency, but there is no reversal signal yet.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed with a cautious tilt. Price at 32.25 is below SMA20 (37.40) but above SMA50 (31.73) and SMA200 (30.91). The SMA50 remains above the SMA200, keeping the longer-term uptrend intact, and price is holding just above the 30.91-31.73 support cluster after the recent pullback.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 42.84 is below the 50 midline. The MACD line at 0.24 is well below its signal at 1.38 with a negative histogram at -1.14, indicating sustained bearish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.68 (8.30% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, typical for an oilfield services company sensitive to commodity prices and energy spending.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 55,856,100 is about 87% of the 20-week average (64,359,150), showing lighter participation during the pullback.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is cautious but structurally supported. Price remains below the 20-week average at 37.40 and the weekly MACD histogram is deeply negative, pointing to weak medium-term momentum. However, price is still above the SMA50 (31.73) and SMA200 (30.91) cluster, and the 60-week return of +60.8% shows the longer-term advance is not fully reversed. Holding above 30.98 keeps the medium-term structure intact, while a weekly close below it would raise the risk of a deeper correction toward the 60-week low at 19.63.
