Bottom line

IFF Technical Analysis Summary

IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances) shows a constructive daily picture with a recovering weekly structure. On the daily chart, price at 80.58 sits above SMA20 (77.64), SMA50 (76.77), and SMA200 (71.51) in a bullish alignment, with a positive MACD structure (0.64 above signal 0.32) and a 52-week position near the high end at 87.36%. The weekly chart shows price at 79.22 above SMA20 (75.00) and SMA50 (70.38) but still below SMA200 (78.44), reflecting the ongoing repair after the 252-week decline of -36.17%. RSI14 at 58.89 on the daily and 55.03 on the weekly points to neutral-to-positive momentum without overbought conditions. Key support sits at 72.11 (20-day low) and 70.93 (60-day low). Resistance is at 83.83 (20/60-day high and 52-week high). A sustained move above 83.83 is needed to confirm the next leg higher; a breakdown below 72.11 would suggest renewed short-term weakness.

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

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 80.58 is above SMA20 (77.64), SMA50 (76.77), and SMA200 (71.51), with the moving averages in bullish alignment. The 252-bar return of +16.19% and a 52-week position near the high end at 87.36% support the constructive daily structure.
Momentum
Bullish-neutral. RSI14 at 58.89 is above the 50 midline but below 70, indicating positive momentum without overbought conditions. MACD at 0.64 is above the signal line at 0.32 with a positive histogram of 0.32, confirming near-term upside momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.36 (2.93% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 2.4%. Bollinger Bands (73.54 to 81.73) show price trading above the middle band toward the upper area.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 1,659,800 is 92.5% of the 20-period average (1,794,570), indicating normal participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a bullish alignment with price above all three key moving averages and a positive MACD structure. RSI is constructive but not overbought. Price trades in the upper part of its 52-week range, near the 83.83 resistance. A break above 83.83 would open the next leg higher, while a loss of SMA20 (77.64) would suggest short-term weakness.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed with recovering medium-term structure. Price at 79.22 is above SMA20 (75.00) and SMA50 (70.38) but below SMA200 (78.44). The SMA200 is still positioned above price, reflecting the significant 252-week decline of -36.17%, though SMA50 is converging higher.
Momentum
Mildly positive. RSI14 at 55.03 is above neutral, showing mild positive momentum. MACD at 2.00 is above the signal line at 1.88 with a positive histogram of 0.12, indicating modest upside momentum that is not yet strong.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 5.70 (7.19% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges consistent with the choppy recovery phase.
Volume
Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 8,389,200 is 93.1% of the 20-week average (9,007,005), indicating normal participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows price reclaiming SMA20 and SMA50 after the 252-week decline of -36.17%. The positive MACD structure is modest. Price remains below SMA200 (78.44), which is the key weekly resistance. A weekly close above 78.44 would be a meaningful technical improvement, while the 20-week low at 65.15 and the 60-week low at 58.13 are the main downside reference levels.
