Bottom line

HII Technical Analysis Summary

HII has staged a sharp post-earnings rebound, closing the daily series at 325.95, up 13.08% over five sessions and 10.83% over twenty. The daily chart is now bullish in the short term, with price above SMA20 (288.28) and SMA50 (292.24), RSI at 67.14, and a positive MACD histogram at 6.40. The weekly chart is recovering, with RSI back to 50.69 and volume at 1.75x the 20-week average, but price remains below the weekly SMA20 (328.50) and SMA50 (333.92), and weekly MACD is still below its signal line. Immediate resistance sits at the 20-day high of 334.53, followed by the 60-day high of 338.30 and SMA200 at 345.46. Support rests at the SMA20 to SMA50 cluster (288.28 to 292.24), then at the 20/60-day low of 263.62. The stock trades at the 35th percentile of its 52-week range after recovering from the July low of 263.62. A sustained close above 334.53 would strengthen the recovery, while a close back below SMA20 at 288.28 would negate the short-term bullish setup.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Improving, still below the long-term trend. Price at 325.95 is above SMA20 (288.28) and SMA50 (292.24) but remains below SMA200 (345.46). The rapid push above the short-term averages follows the sharp late-July decline toward 263.62. SMA20 and SMA50 are still stacked below SMA200, so the recovery is not yet a confirmed reversal of the longer downtrend.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 67.14 is above the 50 midline and approaching the overbought zone, reflecting strong recent buying. MACD line at 6.04 has crossed above the signal line at -0.36, with a positive histogram of 6.40 confirming the bullish crossover. The extended move suggests strength that is also at some risk of a short-term pullback.
Volatility
Elevated and expanding. ATR14 at 12.11 (3.71% of price) reflects the large daily swings around the earnings event. Price has pushed above the upper Bollinger band at 322.27, with the lower band at 254.30, indicating an extended short-term move after a period of wide range.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 606,000 is 1.12x the 20-period average of 541,790, confirming participation in the rally. This marks a shift from the reduced participation seen during the earlier decline.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a strong recovery from the late-July low of 263.62. Price is above SMA20 and SMA50 with RSI near 67 and a positive MACD crossover, a clearly bullish short-term configuration. However, price is extended above the upper Bollinger band and approaching resistance at the 20-day high of 334.53 and the 60-day high of 338.30, with SMA200 at 345.46 the next major overhead zone. A pullback toward the 288.28 to 292.24 area would be a normal consolidation after such a sharp move.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Recovering but below the short-term averages. Price at 326.45 is just below SMA20 (328.50) and SMA50 (333.92), while remaining well above SMA200 (249.60). The +13.51% weekly gain snapped a prolonged decline, but the weekly close has not yet reclaimed the 20-week average, so the intermediate trend is still being tested.
Momentum
Turning higher from deeply negative readings. RSI14 at 50.69 has recovered to the neutral midline after being near oversold territory in July. MACD line at -17.25 remains below the signal line at -13.65, and the histogram at -3.60 is still negative though no longer widening. Weekly momentum is improving but has not yet confirmed a bullish crossover.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 26.32 (8.06% of price) reflects extreme weekly ranges during both the sharp decline and the subsequent rebound, consistent with a stock repricing around a major company event.
Volume
Well above average. Weekly volume of 4,469,600 is 1.75x the 20-week average of 2,547,435, the heaviest participation of the recovery and consistent with increased positioning around the earnings event.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a powerful one-week rebound from the summer lows. RSI has returned to the neutral 50 zone and weekly volume expanded sharply, but MACD remains below its signal line and price has not yet reclaimed SMA20 (328.50) or SMA50 (333.92). The 60-week low of 211.48 marks the long-term anchor, while the 52-week high of 458.02 marks the upper extreme. The weekly picture is a bounce in progress rather than a confirmed new uptrend.
