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.
