Bottom line
HWM Technical Analysis Summary
HWM (Howmet Aerospace Inc.) presents a mixed short-term but strongly bullish long-term technical picture. On the daily timeframe, price at 271.28 is trading slightly below SMA20 (273.15) while remaining above SMA50 (263.51) and SMA200 (229.94). RSI14 at 52.84 is neutral, and the MACD histogram at -0.72 reflects a short-term pullback in momentum. The weekly timeframe confirms a powerful long-term uptrend with price significantly above all key moving averages and RSI14 at 61.60 in bullish territory. The 779.74% 252-week return highlights the stock's exceptional multi-year performance. Key resistance is the all-time high at 290.63 (20-period and 60-period high on both timeframes), with support at 258.59 (20-day low) and 233.22 (60-day low). A close above 290.63 would signal trend continuation; a break below 258.59 suggests deepening pullback.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 271.28 is slightly below SMA20 (273.15) but above SMA50 (263.51) and SMA200 (229.94). The SMA20 is above SMA50 which is above SMA200, maintaining a positive long-term alignment, but the short-term position below SMA20 suggests a consolidation or pullback phase.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 52.84 is near the 50 midline, indicating no strong directional bias. MACD at 2.86 above zero but below the signal line at 3.58 with a negative histogram at -0.72 reflects weakening near-term upward momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 8.87 (3.27% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 3.3%. Bollinger Bands (263.97 to 282.33) show price near the middle band, indicating normal volatility conditions without an expansion signal.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 1,570,000 is 44.9% of the 20-period average (3,493,990), indicating reduced participation during the current pullback.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a mixed but cautiously constructive picture. While price has pulled back below SMA20, it remains well above the longer-term SMA50 and SMA200, suggesting the uptrend structure is intact. The neutral RSI and slightly negative MACD histogram indicate the pullback may need more time to resolve. A move back above SMA20 at 273.15 would be the first sign of renewed short-term strength.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 270.85 is well above SMA20 (254.03), SMA50 (221.89), and SMA200 (113.97). All key moving averages are in a bullish upward-sloping alignment. The 779.74% return over 252 weeks reflects a powerful multi-year uptrend driven by strong aerospace and defense fundamentals.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 61.60 is in bullish territory, indicating positive momentum without overbought conditions. MACD at 14.21 is strongly positive and near the signal line at 14.23, with the histogram at -0.02 essentially flat, suggesting well-established bullish momentum has temporarily paused.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 17.74 (6.55% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with a strong uptrending stock in the aerospace and defense sector.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 9,210,700 is 73.3% of the 20-week average (12,572,730), indicating participation levels slightly below typical.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms a powerful long-term uptrend. Price is significantly above all major moving averages with a bullish alignment. The RSI at 61.60 in bullish territory supports the positive trend. The MACD histogram near zero suggests momentum is pausing rather than reversing. The 779.74% 5-year return positions HWM as one of the strongest long-term performers in the aerospace sector.
