Bottom line
LRCX Technical Analysis Summary
LRCX (Lam Research) is recovering from a sharp corrective pullback within a powerful long-term uptrend. On the daily chart, price at 307.42 has bounced 21.82% over 5 sessions from the 20/60-day low at 250.50, yet remains below the SMA20 (312.32) and SMA50 (338.25) with RSI at 47.56. The daily MACD histogram has just turned positive (+0.92), signaling easing selling pressure, but the bounce came on below-average volume. The weekly chart keeps the multi-year uptrend intact with price at 293.02 above the SMA50 (221.31) and SMA200 (108.90), though weekly momentum has cooled with a negative MACD histogram (-6.54). A sustained reclaim of the SMA20 (312.32) would signal the correction is over, while a break below the 250.50 low would shift the bias bearish.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 307.42 is below SMA20 (312.32) and below SMA50 (338.25), but well above SMA200 (243.27). The SMA200 slopes upward, confirming the long-term uptrend remains intact, while the SMA20 has crossed below the SMA50 during the recent correction. The pullback from the 438.50 all-time high to the 250.50 low has been followed by a sharp bounce, but price has not yet reclaimed the key short-term moving averages.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 47.56 is below the 50 midline but recovering from oversold levels. MACD at -12.79 is still below the signal line at -13.71, but the histogram has turned positive at +0.92, suggesting selling pressure is easing after the sharp bounce off the 250.50 low.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 26.28 (8.55% of price) reflects elevated daily ranges typical for a high-beta semiconductor equipment stock during a correction. Bollinger Bands (262.81 to 361.83) are wide, with price trading in the middle of the band after rebounding from the lower band.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 9,291,400 is 79.8% of the 20-period average (11,649,485), indicating the recent bounce has not yet been confirmed by strong participation.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a corrective pullback followed by a sharp bounce. Price fell from the 438.50 all-time high to the 20/60-day low at 250.50, then rebounded to 307.42. Short-term momentum is improving with the MACD histogram positive and RSI recovering, but price remains below the SMA20 and SMA50, and the bounce came on below-average volume. A sustained move above the SMA20 (312.32) would signal the correction may be over.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish-to-mixed. Price at 293.02 is below SMA20 (298.26) but above SMA50 (221.31) and well above SMA200 (108.90). The SMA50 and SMA200 slope strongly upward, reflecting the powerful multi-year uptrend. The weekly pullback has taken price below the 20-week average for the first time in the current advance.
- Momentum
- Cooling. RSI14 at 52.36 is at the midline, down from overbought readings. MACD at 31.73 is below the signal line at 38.27 with a negative histogram of -6.54, showing momentum has cooled during the correction.
- Volatility
- Very high. ATR14 at 41.17 (14.05% of price) reflects extremely large weekly ranges during the volatile correction phase.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest weekly volume of 80,965,400 is 151.8% of the 20-week average (53,335,345), indicating elevated participation during the volatile correction.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the long-term uptrend is intact but momentum has cooled. Price remains above the SMA50 (221.31) and SMA200 (108.90) with strong upward slopes, and the 252-period return of +440.47% reflects the extraordinary multi-year advance. However, price has broken below the SMA20 (298.26), and the negative MACD histogram shows weekly momentum has weakened. The 20-week low at 198.46 and the SMA50 at 221.31 are the key weekly support levels.
