Bottom line

INTC Technical Analysis Summary

INTC has pulled back sharply from its recent high. Price at 91.00 is below the daily SMA20 (98.94) and SMA50 (112.25) and below the weekly SMA20 (95.62), while remaining above the daily SMA200 (67.31) and weekly SMA200 (37.27). The 20-day return is -25.53% and the 60-day return is -19.48%, yet the 252-day return is still +359.60%, reflecting a steep correction inside a large longer-term uptrend. Daily RSI is 40.72 and weekly RSI is 51.21, with negative MACD histograms on both timeframes. Key support is at the 20-day and 60-day low of 81.79, with the SMA200 at 67.31 as deeper support. Near-term resistance sits at the SMA20 zone around 98.94 to 99 and the 20-day high at 116.77. A daily close back above SMA20 would signal recovery, while a break below 81.79 could extend the correction.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 91.00 is below SMA20 (98.94) and SMA50 (112.25), confirming near-term weakness, but remains well above SMA200 (67.31), which keeps the longer-term uptrend intact. The SMA200 is sloping upward.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 40.72 is below the 50 midpoint, indicating selling pressure dominates short-term momentum. MACD at -7.25 is below its signal line at -6.45 with a negative histogram of -0.80, confirming negative momentum.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 8.44 (9.27% of price) reflects elevated daily swings. Bollinger Bands (81.60 to 116.27, middle 98.94) are wide, with price trading in the lower half of the bands.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 96,116,100 is 82.0% of the 20-period average (117,218,350), indicating reduced participation during the pullback.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a steep short-term correction. Price has fallen 25.53% over the past 20 sessions and 19.48% over the past 60 sessions, and now trades below SMA20 and SMA50. RSI at 40.72 is bearish but not yet oversold, and the negative MACD histogram points to continued downward momentum. The decline has come on below-average volume, which can slow the selling pressure. The key line in the sand is the 20-day and 60-day low at 81.79; a close below it would confirm a deeper breakdown toward the SMA200 at 67.31.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 90.20 is below SMA20 (95.62) but above SMA50 (61.29) and well above SMA200 (37.27). The longer-term uptrend remains intact, but short-term weekly momentum has weakened.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 51.21 is just above the 50 midpoint. MACD at 13.44 is below its signal line at 17.47 with a negative histogram of -4.03, showing fading upside momentum on the weekly scale.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 15.86 (17.58% of price) reflects very wide weekly ranges, characteristic of a high-beta semiconductor stock.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 689,350,700 is 113.5% of the 20-week average (607,215,215), showing elevated participation during the decline.

Assessment

The weekly chart still shows a strong longer-term structure, with price above SMA50 and SMA200 and a 20-week return of +97.07% and 60-week return of +349.65%. However, price has slipped below the weekly SMA20 and the MACD histogram has turned negative, indicating the pullback is now showing up on the weekly timeframe as well. RSI at 51.21 is neutral. As long as price holds above the SMA50 at 61.29, the broader uptrend remains intact, but continued weekly losses would put that level in focus.
