Bottom line
IP Technical Analysis Summary
IP has staged a strong recovery off its 52-week low near 28.83 and now trades at 41.45, above the daily SMA20 (39.04), SMA50 (36.79), and SMA200 (37.95) and above all three weekly moving averages. RSI is neutral-to-positive at 59.02 daily and 56.94 weekly, and the MACD histogram is positive on both timeframes, with the weekly MACD line above its signal after a bullish crossover. The 60-day return of +25.50% shows a clear improvement, though the stock is still down about 7% over the past year. The recent pause has come on below-average daily volume (72.5% of the 20-day average), which limits near-term conviction. Key resistance sits at 44.82 (20-day and 60-day high), with the 52-week high near 49.02 farther overhead. Support is at 39.04 (SMA20), then 35.87 (20-day low), with the 52-week low near 28.83 as the major floor. A close above 44.82 would signal renewed strength; a break below 35.87 would suggest the rally is losing momentum.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Positive but mixed structure. Price at 41.45 trades above the SMA20 (39.04), SMA50 (36.79), and SMA200 (37.95), a bullish position relative to price, though the moving average alignment is not fully bullish (the SMA20 sits between the SMA50 and SMA200). The stock is at 62.5% of its 52-week range after climbing off the low near 28.83.
- Momentum
- Neutral-to-bullish. RSI14 at 59.02 is in the upper half of neutral territory with room before reaching overbought. MACD at 1.55 sits above its signal at 1.29 with a positive histogram of 0.25, indicating mildly positive momentum that has flattened in recent sessions.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.74 (4.19% of price) reflects average daily movement of about 4.2%. Bollinger Bands span 33.86 to 44.21 around a middle band at 39.04, with price trading in the upper half of the range after the recent advance.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 4,307,300 is 72.5% of the 20-period average (5,940,080), indicating lighter participation during the recent pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a stock in a constructive uptrend off its 52-week low, with price above all three key moving averages. RSI at 59 is positive but not stretched, and the MACD histogram remains positive. The main caveat is volume: the recent pullback from 44.82 came on below-average participation, which can limit conviction. A reclaim of the 20-day high at 44.82 with stronger volume would reinforce the bullish structure, while holding above the SMA20 at 39.04 keeps the setup intact.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed but improving. Price at 40.83 trades above the SMA20 (35.41), SMA50 (39.29), and SMA200 (38.21), though the moving average order remains mixed. The 5-week return of +5.34% and the 20-week return of +11.25% show the recovery from the multi-year low near 29.02.
- Momentum
- Neutral-to-bullish. RSI14 at 56.94 is neutral. MACD at 0.19 sits above its signal at -0.90 with a positive histogram of 1.09, confirming a bullish crossover on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 3.45 (8.45% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with a stock that has experienced large swings over the past year.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 34,838,100 is 109.7% of the 20-week average (31,746,635), indicating solid participation during the recent advance.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the recovery from the multi-year low. Price is above all three weekly moving averages, the MACD has completed a bullish crossover, and RSI at 56.94 has room to run. Weekly volume above average supports the move. The key resistance to watch is the 20-week high at 44.82, followed by the 60-week high at 53.57. As long as price holds above the SMA50 at 39.29, the weekly structure remains positive.
