Bottom line
HRL Technical Analysis Summary
HRL technical analysis shows a stock that has recovered strongly off its 52-week low of 19.47 and is trading at 25.23 in the upper half of its range. The daily trend is bullish with price above the SMA20 (25.08), SMA50 (24.24), and SMA200 (22.79), while the weekly chart shows price reclaiming the SMA20 and SMA50 with a positive MACD. The main resistance to watch is 26.43 at the 20 and 60 period highs; a sustained break above it would aim toward the 52-week high at 27.89. Support sits at 23.87 (20-period low) and 19.47 (52-week low). Momentum is neutral overall, with a slightly negative daily MACD histogram pointing to a short-term pause, so holding above the SMA20 would help confirm the near-term HRL technical outlook.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.
Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 25.23 is above the SMA20 (25.08), SMA50 (24.24), and SMA200 (22.79), with the SMA20 above the SMA50 above the SMA200, a fully bullish moving average stack. The daily trend classification is bullish after the strong recovery from the lows.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 53.58 is in neutral territory. The MACD line at 0.34 sits just below the signal at 0.41 with a small negative histogram of -0.08, showing momentum has eased after the recent advance. A re-cross above the signal line would confirm renewed upside momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.63 (2.50% of price) points to average daily moves around 2.5%. Bollinger Bands from 24.03 to 26.13 place price just below the middle band, consistent with the recent pause after the rally off the lows.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 3,089,100 is 84.8% of the 20-period average of 3,643,100, showing modest participation during the current consolidation.
Assessment
The daily chart has turned constructive. Price holds above the SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 with a bullish moving average stack, and the 52-week position at 68.45% places the stock in the upper half of its range. The negative MACD histogram and below-average volume suggest a near-term pause rather than a reversal. A sustained break above 26.43 (20 and 60 period high) would open the path toward the 52-week high at 27.89. A move back below the SMA20 at 25.08 would put the short-term trend on watch.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 25.01 is above the SMA20 (22.78) and SMA50 (23.09) but below the SMA200 (29.48). The SMA200 remains well above price and defines the longer-term downtrend context. The SMA20 is still below the SMA50, so the intermediate trend needs the moving averages to turn up for confirmation.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 56.84 is in neutral territory. The MACD line at 0.61 is above the signal at 0.20 with a positive histogram of 0.41, indicating momentum is improving on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 1.42 (5.67% of price) reflects above-average weekly ranges, consistent with a stock that has swung sharply over the past year.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest weekly volume of 22,855,500 is 95.5% of the 20-week average of 23,925,690, indicating participation close to normal.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a recovery under way. Price has moved back above the SMA20 and SMA50, the MACD is in a bullish configuration, and the 52-week position at 65.84% leaves room to the upside. The SMA200 at 29.48 is the main overhead resistance, and price needs to reclaim it to confirm a longer-term trend change. A weekly close above 26.43 would be the next constructive signal.
