Bottom line
LHX Technical Analysis Summary
LHX closed at 277.86 on August 3, 2026, up 0.29%, after a sharp late-July selloff that carried the stock to its 52-week low at 262.68 on July 30. Price remains below all key daily moving averages, SMA20 at 288.89, SMA50 at 297.06, and SMA200 at 314.31, keeping the daily trend bearish. RSI14 at 40.53 is below the 50 midline, and the daily MACD histogram is negative at -0.86, so momentum has not yet stabilized. The stock sits at the 13.35% position of its 52-week range and the latest session traded on volume about 2.3 times the 20-day average. The weekly chart confirms the pressure, with RSI14 at 38.35 and a deeply negative MACD histogram at -4.70, though price remains above the weekly SMA200 at 231.17. Key support is at 262.68 (20/60-day low and 52-week low), while resistance comes from the SMA20 at 288.89 and then the SMA50 at 297.06. A break below 262.68 would open further downside, while a recovery back above the SMA20 would be the first sign of stabilization.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 277.86 is below SMA20 (288.89), SMA50 (297.06), and SMA200 (314.31). The three averages are in bearish alignment (SMA20 below SMA50 below SMA200), and price is trading in the lower portion of its 52-week range at the 13.35% position. The late-July decline took the stock to its 52-week low at 262.68 on July 30 before the current attempt to stabilize.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 40.53 is below the neutral 50 level, indicating bearish momentum without reaching the oversold threshold near 30. MACD at -3.51 is below the signal line at -2.65 with a negative histogram of -0.86, confirming that downward momentum is still in force on the daily chart.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 9.88 (3.55% of price) reflects wider daily ranges after the sharp late-July move. Bollinger Bands run from 270.47 to 307.31, and the close at 277.86 sits in the lower half of the band, consistent with the recent decline.
- Volume
- Well above average. Latest volume of 3,416,900 is about 2.25 times the 20-day average (1,515,435), indicating heavy participation in the latest session. Elevated volume around the breakdown points to active selling pressure rather than a low-participation drift.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a bearish structure after the late-July breakdown. Price sits below all key moving averages with a bearish alignment, RSI at 40.53 is in bearish territory, and the MACD histogram is negative. The stock traded to its 52-week low at 262.68 on July 30 and has since recovered modestly to 277.86, holding just above that low. The 13.35% 52-week position reflects a stock trading deep in its range. Support at 262.68 is critical; a loss of that level would extend the downtrend. Resistance comes first from the SMA20 at 288.89, then the SMA50 at 297.06. Heavy volume on the decline confirms real selling pressure, so a stabilization would need to occur on a return of price above the SMA20 with declining volume.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish. Price at 277.06 is below SMA20 (312.80) and SMA50 (308.44), showing intermediate-term pressure, but remains above SMA200 (231.17), reflecting that the multi-year uptrend built since 2021 is still intact. The large gap between price and the shorter-term averages highlights the speed of the recent decline.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.35 is below the neutral 50 level and in bearish territory. MACD at -8.24 is well below the signal line at -3.54 with a deeply negative histogram of -4.70, confirming sustained downward momentum on the weekly timescale with no signs of stabilization yet.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 20.39 (7.36% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges during the recent selloff. Bollinger Bands run from 265.73 to 359.88, and price is near the lower band, consistent with the weekly downtrend.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 10,594,300 is about 1.56 times the 20-week average (6,775,225), reflecting heavy participation in the latest down week.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the intermediate-term downtrend. Price is well below the SMA20 at 312.80 and SMA50 at 308.44, weekly RSI at 38.35 is bearish, and the weekly MACD histogram at -4.70 is deeply negative. The series ends with the week of July 27, so its close of 277.06 predates the August 3 daily close of 277.86. The only offsetting factor is the SMA200 at 231.17, which remains well below price and keeps the long-term trend positive. The stock is at the 12.50% position of its 52-week range. The key question is whether the weekly series stabilizes above the 20-week low at 262.68, which aligns with the daily support level.
