Bottom line
LMT Technical Analysis Summary
LMT (Lockheed Martin) shows a bullish-leaning recovery across both timeframes. The daily chart has price at 586.29, above SMA20 (541.65), SMA50 (529.54), and SMA200 (540.86), with RSI14 at 68.71 approaching overbought and a positive MACD histogram at 5.95. The stock has climbed 8.98% over the last 20 sessions from the recent swing low near 487.15 and now sits at 64.0% of its 52-week range. The weekly chart has turned constructive as well: price at 582.74 is above SMA20 (548.49), SMA50 (530.04), and SMA200 (464.82), with RSI at 57.50 and a positive MACD histogram of 1.87. The main obstacle is resistance at the 20/60-period high near 593.77, followed by the 52-week high at 687.50. A sustained break above 593.77 would extend the uptrend, while a loss of the recent swing low at 487.15 would negate the recovery.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish-leaning. Price at 586.29 is above SMA20 (541.65), SMA50 (529.54), and SMA200 (540.86). The SMA20 has turned up and sits above the SMA200, though SMA50 remains below SMA200, indicating the longer-term structure is still repairing after the earlier correction.
- Momentum
- Bullish but elevated. RSI14 at 68.71 is approaching overbought, reflecting strong buying momentum. MACD at 16.45 is above the signal line at 10.50 with a positive histogram of 5.95, confirming the bullish short-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 16.15 (2.75% of price) reflects normal daily swings. Bollinger Bands (480.36 to 602.95) are widening with price trading in the upper half of the band, consistent with an uptrend in progress.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 1,236,400 is 1.02x the 20-period average (1,214,765), showing participation roughly in line with recent norms during the rally.
Assessment
The daily chart is bullish-leaning. Price is above all three major moving averages and momentum is positive, with RSI approaching but not yet at overbought extremes and a positive MACD histogram. The 20-day return of +8.98% confirms the recovery. The immediate test is resistance at the 20/60-period high of 593.77; a break above it would open the path toward the 52-week high, while a drop back below SMA200 at 540.86 would weaken the near-term setup.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 582.74 is above SMA20 (548.49), SMA50 (530.04), and SMA200 (464.82), with the moving averages in positive alignment. The 5-week return of +14.85% shows the recovery from the July low.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 57.50 is above the 50 midline. MACD at 0.51 is above the signal line at -1.36 with a positive histogram of 1.87, indicating momentum has turned positive on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 36.31 (6.23% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, consistent with a strong recovery move. Bollinger Bands (464.39 to 632.60) are wide, with price in the upper half of the band.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 6,897,900 is 1.03x the 20-week average (6,678,305), showing participation in line with recent norms during the rebound.
Assessment
The weekly chart is bullish. Price is above all major moving averages with positive momentum, and the MACD histogram has turned positive. The 20-week return of -9.20% still reflects the earlier correction, but the strong 5-week gain of +14.85% shows the trend has turned up. The next resistance is the 20-week high at 647.31, then the 52-week high at 687.50. The SMA200 at 464.82 remains the key long-term support.
