Bottom line
LRCX Technical Analysis Summary
LRCX (Lam Research) shows a mixed short-term picture within a powerful long-term uptrend. On the daily chart, price at 329.92 has pulled back 8.93% over 20 sessions, trading below the SMA20 (372.69) with RSI at 45.00 and a negative MACD histogram (-9.03), indicating ongoing correction pressure. However, price remains above the SMA50 (330.77) and well above the SMA200 (228.93). The weekly chart confirms the long-term trend remains strongly bullish with RSI at 66.83 and a positive MACD histogram (4.96). The key conflict is between short-term weakness from the all-time high at 438.50 and the intact multi-year uptrend. A sustained break below the 20-day low at 313.10 would shift the bias bearish, while reclaiming the SMA20 (372.69) would signal the correction is over.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 329.92 is below SMA20 (372.69) but slightly above SMA50 (330.77) and well above SMA200 (228.93). The SMA20 is declining and has crossed below the SMA50, forming a bearish near-term signal. The SMA200 slopes strongly upward, confirming the long-term uptrend remains intact. The pullback from the 438.50 high has retraced approximately 24.8% of the prior advance.
- Momentum
- Slightly bearish. RSI14 at 45.00 is below the 50 midline, indicating bearish short-term momentum. MACD at 2.21 is below the signal line at 11.24 with a negative histogram of -9.03, confirming bearish momentum. The negative histogram has been declining over recent sessions, suggesting selling pressure may be moderating.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 27.26 (8.26% of price) reflects above-average daily moves typical for a high-beta semiconductor equipment stock during a correction. Bollinger Bands (316.64 to 428.75) are wide, with price near the lower band, suggesting the pullback may be approaching an oversold condition relative to recent volatility.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 9,760,600 is 69.2% of the 20-period average (14,106,760), indicating reduced participation during the pullback. Lower volume during the decline suggests the selling may lack conviction.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a short-term correction in progress. Price has corrected from the 438.50 all-time high and is testing the area around the 20-day low at 313.10 and the SMA50 at 330.77. The negative MACD histogram and RSI below 50 confirm bearish momentum. However, declining volume on the pullback and price still holding above the SMA200 suggest this may be a healthy correction within a long-term uptrend. A bounce from the 313-330 zone would be the first sign of stabilization.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 350.33 is above SMA20 (284.92), SMA50 (209.00), and SMA200 (104.90). All major SMAs slope upward with a clear bullish alignment. The SMA200 slopes strongly upward, and the SMA20 at 284.92 is well above the SMA200 at 104.90, reflecting the powerful multi-year uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 66.83 is in bullish territory but below the 70 overbought threshold, indicating room for further upside. MACD at 45.56 is above the signal line at 40.60 with a positive histogram of 4.96, confirming steady bullish momentum at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 38.56 (11.01% of price) reflects large weekly ranges, typical for a high-beta semiconductor capital equipment stock during an AI-driven growth cycle.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest weekly volume of 56,152,300 is 107.4% of the 20-week average (52,261,825), indicating healthy participation in the ongoing trend.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the long-term bullish trend is intact. Price is well above all SMAs with textbook bull alignment. RSI at 66.83 is constructive and not overbought. The positive MACD histogram confirms momentum is still bullish. The 252-period return of 517.02% reflects an extraordinary multi-year rally driven by AI-related semiconductor equipment demand and memory/storage investment cycles. The recent pullback from the 438.50 high to the 329.92 close represents a healthy correction within a strong uptrend. Key weekly support is the SMA20 at 284.92.
