Bottom line
MDT Technical Analysis Summary
MDT (Medtronic) shows a mixed technical picture with a bearish bias on the daily timeframe. The daily chart shows price at 79.30 below SMA20 (80.73) and SMA200 (89.42), with RSI14 at 46.20 indicating slightly bearish momentum. The weekly chart is more balanced with price at 83.87 above SMA20 (82.54) and SMA200 (80.50), though still below SMA50 (89.53). The significant -5.11% daily drop on July 14 broke below the SMA20, warranting close monitoring. Key support is at 76.93 (20-day low), while resistance is at 85.99 (20-day high). A sustained move above 85.99 would be bullish; a break below 72.65 (60-day/52-week low) would signal further downside.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish. Price at 79.30 is below SMA20 (80.73) and SMA200 (89.42) but above SMA50 (78.57). The SMA200 is sloping downward, confirming the longer-term downtrend remains intact. The sharp -5.11% drop on July 14 pushed price below SMA20.
- Momentum
- Slightly bearish. RSI14 at 46.20 is below the neutral 50 level, reflecting negative momentum without oversold conditions. MACD at 0.9194 is above the signal line at 0.8987 with a near-flat positive histogram at 0.0207, suggesting minimal bullish conviction.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.23 (2.81% of price) reflects normal daily swings. Bollinger Bands (76.77 to 84.69) show price near the lower band after the July 14 sell-off, consistent with the recent bearish move.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 6,866,604 is 74.6% of the 20-period average (9,205,415), indicating the sell-off occurred on relatively light volume rather than panic selling.
Assessment
The daily chart is under pressure following the -5.11% decline on July 14. Price has fallen below SMA20 and is testing the SMA50 at 78.57. The near-zero MACD histogram and RSI below 50 suggest weak momentum. The key level to watch is 76.93 (20-day low), and a break below it could open the path to the 52-week low at 72.65.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 83.87 is above SMA20 (82.54) and SMA200 (80.50) but below SMA50 (89.53). The SMA50 is sloping downward, indicating intermediate-term resistance.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 49.07 is essentially at the 50 neutral level, reflecting no strong directional conviction. MACD at -2.77 has crossed above the signal line at -3.35 with a positive histogram at 0.58, indicating improving weekly momentum from a negative base.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 4.42 (5.27% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (72.11 to 92.96) show price in the middle of the band range.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 38,263,100 is 83.8% of the 20-week average (45,646,465), suggesting tepid participation in recent price action.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe shows a stock attempting to stabilize after the longer-term decline. Price holding above SMA20 and SMA200 is constructive, but the SMA50 at 89.53 represents nearby resistance. The MACD bullish crossover (line above signal) is a positive development, though both lines remain negative. The weekly chart does not yet confirm a trend reversal but suggests the sell-off may be losing momentum.
