Bottom line

JBHT Technical Analysis Summary

JBHT shows a longer-term uptrend with a short-term corrective pullback. The weekly chart remains bullish with price at 271.75 above SMA20 (258.64), SMA50 (211.39), and SMA200 (180.17), while the daily chart is mixed as price at 266.91 trades below SMA20 (282.02) and SMA50 (279.66) but above SMA200 (224.61). Daily RSI at 38.62 and a negative MACD histogram point to short-term weakness after the pullback from the 52-week high of 299.76. Weekly RSI at 59.21 and price above all weekly moving averages keep the primary trend intact. Immediate daily support sits at the 20-day low of 264.49, followed by the 60-day low at 231.48, while resistance is the SMA20/SMA50 zone around 279.66 to 282.02 and then the 299.76 high. A hold above 264.49 would keep the pullback within a normal range; a break below it opens the path toward 231.48.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed with a bearish short-term tilt. Price at 266.91 is below SMA20 (282.02) and SMA50 (279.66) but above SMA200 (224.61). The SMA20/SMA50 structure is still in a golden cross alignment from the prior rally, but the pullback has pushed price below both short-term moving averages, so the daily trend is currently corrective within a longer uptrend.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 38.62 is below the 50 midline, indicating short-term downside momentum without being oversold. MACD at -1.60 is below the signal line at 1.26 with a negative histogram of -2.86, confirming that downside momentum is active after price lost the short-term moving averages.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 8.90 (3.34% of price) reflects normal daily swings. Bollinger Bands (265.12 to 298.92) show price trading near the lower band after falling through the middle band at 282.02, consistent with the current corrective phase.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 847,700 is 75.7% of the 20-period average (1,119,940), indicating lighter participation during the pullback and no signs of panic selling.

Assessment

The daily chart is in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. Price has lost the SMA20 and SMA50 support levels and now sits just above the 20-day low at 264.49. RSI below 40 and a negative MACD histogram reflect short-term weakness, while the SMA200 at 224.61 remains well below price. A recovery back above the SMA20/SMA50 zone near 279.66 to 282.02 would be the first sign of stabilization. A break below the 20-day low at 264.49 would open the path toward the 60-day low at 231.48.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 271.75 is above SMA20 (258.64), SMA50 (211.39), and SMA200 (180.17), with a golden cross alignment. The latest weekly bar fell 5.74%, but price remains above the SMA20, so the weekly structure is intact.
Momentum
Bullish but cooling. RSI14 at 59.21 remains above the 50 midline in bullish territory. MACD at 21.32 is slightly below the signal line at 22.39 with a small negative histogram of -1.08, showing momentum is cooling at the weekly level without breaking down.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 17.66 (6.50% of price) reflects significant weekly ranges, typical for a transportation stock exposed to freight market cyclicality. Bollinger Bands (202.39 to 314.89) place price near the middle band.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 5,764,400 is 119.2% of the 20-week average (4,834,300), indicating elevated participation during the pullback week.

Assessment

The weekly chart retains a bullish structure. Price remains above all key moving averages, and the 83.57% 52-week position keeps JBHT in the upper part of its range. The down week and the slightly negative weekly MACD histogram are cautionary, but RSI at 59.21 and price above the SMA20 at 258.64 support the primary uptrend. The weekly SMA20 at 258.64 is the key short-term support to watch.
