Bottom line

MCK Technical Analysis Summary

MCK closed at 827.14 on August 3, 2026 after a 3.39% drop on volume about 53% above its 20-day average, bringing price back to the SMA20 and SMA200 zone. The daily chart shows price just below SMA20 (831.81) and SMA200 (834.92) but above SMA50 (791.41), with RSI at 50.84 and a barely positive MACD histogram at 0.26. The weekly chart is more constructive: price at 856.19 is above SMA20 (810.21), SMA50 (816.04), and SMA200 (583.00), the MACD histogram has turned positive at 6.35, and RSI at 56.82 leans mildly bullish. The stock is trading at about 53% of its 52-week range, between the 52-week low of 634.42 and the high of 997.90. Key support is 786.81 (20-day low) and then 722.88 (60-day low). Resistance is 907.00 (20-day high) and then 952.63 (weekly 20-week high). A daily close back above SMA20 and SMA200 would firm up the near-term outlook, while a break below 786.81 would signal further weakness.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 827.14 is below SMA20 (831.81) and below SMA200 (834.92) but above SMA50 (791.41). The SMA20 has rolled over and now trades just below the SMA200, while the SMA50 remains upward sloping. The pullback from the 907.00 high has left the near-term trend mixed, with price caught between the short and longer moving averages.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 50.84 sits at the midline, showing no strong directional bias after the recent drop. MACD at 19.38 with signal at 19.12 and a positive but minimal histogram of 0.26, indicating momentum that has flattened following the pullback.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 23.89 (2.89% of price) suggests an average daily range of about 2.9%. Bollinger Bands run from 777.61 to 886.00 with price near the middle band, reflecting a return to more typical volatility after the recent swing.
Volume
Well above average. Latest volume of 1,439,700 is about 153% of the 20-period average (942,825), confirming that the August 3 decline was met with active selling participation.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a corrective pullback that has brought price back to the SMA20 and SMA200 zone. The 3.39% decline on August 3 came on volume about 53% above average, showing conviction behind the move. RSI at the 50 midline and the near-zero MACD histogram leave the short-term direction unresolved. The stock is trading near the middle of its 52-week range. A daily close back above SMA20 at 831.81 and SMA200 at 834.92 would stabilize the near-term picture, while a break below the 20-day low at 786.81 would open the way toward the 60-day low at 722.88.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed to constructive. Price at 856.19 is above SMA20 (810.21), SMA50 (816.04), and SMA200 (583.00), though SMA20 has slipped just below SMA50, reflecting the pullback from the high. The SMA200 remains strongly upward sloping, keeping the longer-term uptrend intact.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 56.82 is in neutral-bullish territory, below the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at -1.92 with signal at -8.27 and a positive histogram of 6.35, indicating that weekly momentum has turned up after being negative.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 48.67 (5.68% of price) reflects a normal weekly range. Bollinger Bands run from 713.52 to 906.90 with price in the middle of the band, consistent with a range-bound week.
Volume
Near average. Latest weekly volume of 5,003,100 is at 99.5% of the 20-week average (5,026,805), reflecting typical participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart has stabilized after the pullback from the 997.90 area. Price remains above all three SMAs, and the MACD histogram has turned positive, signaling that downside momentum has faded. RSI at 56.82 is neutral-bullish with room before overbought. The 20-week low at 722.88 and the 60-week low at 634.42 sit well below price as structural support. Resistance is at the 20-week high of 952.63 and the 60-week high at 997.90. The longer-term uptrend remains intact as long as price holds above the weekly SMA50 at 816.04.
