Bottom line

HPQ Technical Analysis Summary

HPQ shows a cautiously bullish picture on the daily chart with price above all key moving averages, but the weekly timeframe reveals the stock is still below its SMA200 at $26.15, indicating a longer-term downtrend remains unbroken. The daily RSI at 61 is bullish without being overbought, while the MACD histogram has turned slightly positive after a period of weakness. Key support is at $21.67 (20-day low) and $19.04 (60-day low). Key resistance is at $25.76 (20-day high) and $29.29 (52-week and 60-day high). A sustained move above $25.76 with volume would signal near-term strength; a close below SMA20 at $23.41 would suggest renewed weakness.

Multi-Timeframe Technical Dashboard

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

Daily (July 13, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at $24.77 is above SMA20 ($23.41), SMA50 ($23.22), and SMA200 ($22.02). The SMA20 is above SMA50, confirming a short-term bullish alignment. The SMA200 is flattening, suggesting the long-term trend is transitioning.
Momentum
Neutral with positive bias. RSI14 at 61.04 is in bullish territory but below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at 0.10 with signal at -0.05 and a positive histogram of 0.15 indicates the MACD line has crossed above the signal line, suggesting improving momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at $0.95 (3.83% of price) indicates moderate daily swings. Bollinger Bands ($21.55 to $25.26) have moderate width, with price trading near the upper half of the bands, reflecting the recent upward move.
Volume
Near average. Latest volume of 16.55M is 1.04x the 20-period average (15.97M), showing neutral participation levels during the recent rally.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a constructive bullish picture with price above all key SMAs. The stock has rallied from the $17 area earlier this year to current levels near $25. The MACD has just turned positive, which could support continued upside. The RSI at 61 is bullish and has room before reaching overbought levels. Volume has been near average, suggesting the rally is not yet attracting excessive speculative interest. The price is approaching the 20-day high at $25.76, which is a key resistance level to watch.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at $24.22 is above SMA20 ($21.40) and SMA50 ($22.75) but below SMA200 ($26.15). The SMA200 is sloping downward, confirming a longer-term bearish structure. The SMA20 and SMA50 are sloping up, reflecting a short to medium-term recovery.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 56.14 is in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. MACD at 0.63 with signal at 0.27 and a positive histogram of 0.36 shows improving momentum on the weekly scale, though the MACD levels remain modest compared to the pre-2025 readings.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at $2.21 (9.11% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with the volatile price action over the past year. Bollinger Bands ($15.96 to $26.85) are wide.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 64.15M is 69% of the 20-week average (93.00M), suggesting reduced participation during the recent recovery from the lows.

Assessment

The weekly chart presents a mixed picture. The stock has recovered significantly from the 52-week low of $17.07 but remains below the declining SMA200 at $26.15, which served as resistance in 2025. The MACD is showing a gradual improvement, and the RSI at 56.14 is in neutral territory. The key question is whether the recovery can push above the SMA200 and the 52-week high of $29.29. A failure to break above the SMA200 would suggest the longer-term downtrend remains intact.
