Bottom line
IQV Technical Analysis Summary
The IQV technical analysis shows a strong recovery in progress. Price trades above the SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 on both daily and weekly timeframes after a sharp rally from the 52-week low of 154.50. Daily RSI at 66.41 and weekly RSI at 67.24 are strong but below overbought, while the weekly MACD histogram is firmly positive. Price closed above the weekly upper Bollinger Band, which flags short-term overextension. Resistance is the 52-week high at 251.36, and a sustained breakout would confirm a new uptrend. Support rests at the daily SMA20 near 214.85 and the SMA200 near 197.60.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 233.36 is above SMA20 (214.85), SMA50 (195.19), and SMA200 (197.60). The SMA20 sits above the SMA200 and SMA50, so the short-term moving average structure has turned positive, but the SMA200 remains above the SMA50, which keeps the daily trend classification mixed.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 66.41 is strong but below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD line at 11.73 is above the signal line at 9.47 with a positive histogram of 2.26, indicating bullish momentum that continues to build.
- Volatility
- Elevated but not extreme. ATR14 at 8.90 equals 3.82% of price, so average daily movement is about 3.8%. Bollinger Bands (185.49 to 244.22) are wide and price sits in the upper half near the upper band, reflecting the recent advance.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 1,644,700 is 111.2% of the 20-period average (1,479,335), indicating that participation picked up during the recent move higher.
Assessment
The daily chart shows price trading above all key moving averages after a strong advance. RSI near 66 leaves room before overbought, and the rising MACD histogram confirms accelerating bullish momentum. Above-average volume supports the move. The next meaningful resistance is the 52-week high at 251.36, while a failure near the SMA20 at 214.85 would point to near-term consolidation.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 235.02 is above SMA20 (182.65), SMA50 (196.27), and SMA200 (204.21). The SMA20 sits below the SMA50 and the SMA200, so the long-term moving average alignment remains bearish even though price has cleared all of them.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 67.24 is strong with room before overbought. MACD line at 6.60 is above the signal line at -0.13 with a strongly positive histogram of 6.74, showing momentum accelerating on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 18.67 equals 7.94% of price, and the weekly close is above the upper Bollinger Band (222.43), which flags short-term overextension after the rally.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 12,523,800 is 162.8% of the 20-week average (7,694,405), confirming heavier participation in the up week.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a sharp recovery with price now above all key moving averages and closing above the upper Bollinger Band. The moving average alignment is still negative (SMA20 below SMA200), so the longer-term trend is not yet confirmed bullish. Strong momentum, heavy volume, and a break of the 52-week high at 251.36 would confirm a new uptrend; until then the rally remains a recovery within the broader range.
