Bottom line

MEDP Technical Analysis Summary

MEDP (Medpace Holdings) trades at 585.01 as of the August 6, 2026 cutoff, about 13.7% below the 52-week high of 677.90 after a strong advance from a 60-day low near 403.46 in mid-May 2026. The daily chart is constructive in the short term with price above SMA20 (561.31) and SMA200 (519.24), while daily RSI at 62.28 and a MACD histogram at -1.10 show momentum that has cooled from the rally peak. The weekly chart remains firmly bullish, with price above every weekly average and a strong positive MACD histogram of 16.25. The latest daily session closed on light volume at 39% of its 20-day average, consistent with a pause after the advance. Support sits at 514.47 (20-day low) and 507.43 (lower Bollinger Band); resistance is at 615.19 (upper Bollinger Band) and 677.90 (52-week high).

Daily (August 6, 2026)

Trend
Constructive. Price at 585.01 is above SMA20 (561.31), SMA50 (516.46), and SMA200 (519.24). The SMA20 has turned up and crossed above the SMA200, while the SMA50 is still below the SMA200, so the moving-average alignment is not yet fully bullish. A close above the upper Bollinger Band would restore a clean short-term uptrend.
Momentum
Strong but cooling. RSI14 at 62.28 is above the 50 midline but below the 70 overbought zone. MACD at 19.11 has slipped below its signal at 20.22, producing a slightly negative histogram of -1.10, which reflects momentum that has faded after the sharp rally rather than an outright reversal.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 22.17 (3.79% of price) reflects wide daily ranges during the recent climb and pullback. Bollinger Bands (507.43 to 615.19) are wide, and price is trading in the upper half of the band after easing back from the top.
Volume
Well below average. Latest volume of 146,225 is 39% of the 20-period average (372,421), showing light participation on the most recent down session. The advance to the high in late July was accompanied by higher volume, and the recent pullback has come on thinner turnover.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a strong uptrend that is taking a pause. Price rose from a 60-day low near 403.46 to a 52-week high of 677.90 in about two months, a gain of roughly 68%, and has since pulled back about 13.7% to 585.01. The move remains above the SMA20 and SMA200, and RSI at 62.28 is still constructive, but the small negative MACD histogram and the low-volume close show the rally needs a fresh catalyst. The 514.47 to 507.43 zone is the first meaningful support; a hold above it would keep the short-term structure intact, while a close below it would shift the focus toward the SMA50 at 516.46 and the 60-day low at 403.46.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. The completed weekly close at 577.11 is above SMA20 (484.22), SMA50 (513.96), and SMA200 (353.13). The SMA20 is below the SMA50 because the averages are still catching up after the steep advance, but price is firmly above all of them and the longer-term uptrend remains intact.
Momentum
Strong. RSI14 at 61.69 is above the 50 midline, and the MACD at 19.70 is well above its signal at 3.45 with a large positive histogram of 16.25, confirming strong weekly momentum behind the uptrend.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 50.02 (8.67% of price) reflects very wide weekly ranges, consistent with a stock in a strong trending phase. Bollinger Bands (371.88 to 596.55) are wide, with the weekly close in the upper portion of the band.
Volume
Above average. Latest week volume of 2,320,100 is 131% of the 20-week average (1,774,090), showing active participation during the recent advance and the subsequent pullback week.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms a powerful uptrend. The completed week ending July 31, 2026 closed at 577.11, about 95% higher than the close 60 weeks earlier, after the stock ran from the 60-week low of 294.07 to the 52-week high of 677.90 before a 4.0% weekly pullback. Weekly RSI at 61.69 and a strongly positive MACD histogram show the trend is intact despite the recent loss. The 484.22 (SMA20) to 513.96 (SMA50) zone is the key weekly support area, and the 20-week low at 373.00 marks the deeper reference. As long as weekly closes hold above the SMA20, the trend structure stays bullish.
