Bottom line

MGM Technical Analysis Summary

MGM (MGM Resorts International) shows a corrective daily picture inside a longer-term uptrend. Daily price at 44.50 sits below the SMA20 (46.07) and SMA50 (46.22) but remains above the SMA200 (38.27), with RSI at 38.66 and MACD below its signal line, reflecting fading short-term momentum. The weekly chart is more constructive: price at 44.57 holds above the weekly SMA20 (42.14), SMA50 (37.95), and SMA200 (38.76), with RSI at 57.20 and a positive MACD histogram. The stock has pulled back roughly 14% from the 52-week high of 51.59 and now trades at about 68% of its 52-week range (29.19 to 51.59). Near-term support is at the 20-day low of 43.94 and the 60-day low of 35.32; near-term resistance is at the SMA20 and SMA50 cluster around 46.07 to 46.22, the 20-day high of 48.25, and the 52-week high of 51.59.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed, leaning corrective. Price at 44.50 is below the SMA20 (46.07) and SMA50 (46.22) but well above the SMA200 (38.27). The SMA20 has slipped below the SMA50, signaling a loss of short-term upside momentum, while the rising SMA200 keeps the longer-term structure intact. The -5.08% 20-day return reflects the ongoing pullback from the 20-day high of 48.25.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 38.66 is in weak territory, below the 50 midline but not yet oversold. MACD at -0.30 is below the signal line at -0.05 with a negative histogram of -0.25, confirming that downward momentum has built over recent sessions.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.13 (2.54% of price) is in a normal range for MGM. Bollinger Bands (44.56 to 47.58) show price near the lower band, consistent with the current corrective move. Band width is not extreme, so no imminent volatility expansion is signaled.
Volume
Above average. Latest daily volume of 3,210,600 is 132% of the 20-period average (2,439,985), showing active participation in the pullback. Elevated volume on down days can extend a corrective phase, although a single session is not by itself decisive.

Assessment

The daily chart is in a short-term correction following a strong advance. Price has broken below the SMA20 and SMA50, RSI has weakened, and the MACD sits below its signal line. The key test is whether support at the 20-day low of 43.94 holds. A close back above the SMA20 and SMA50 cluster near 46.07 to 46.22 would signal stabilization, while a break below 43.94 would put the 60-day low of 35.32 and the SMA200 near 38.27 back in view. The rising SMA200 keeps the broader structure constructive for now.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed but constructive. Price at 44.57 holds above the weekly SMA20 (42.14), SMA50 (37.95), and SMA200 (38.76), though the SMA200 sits just above the SMA50, reflecting the past year of consolidation. The +21.51% 20-week return and +39.89% 60-week return show a strong intermediate-term uptrend, while the -9.39% 5-week return captures the recent pullback from the 52-week high.
Momentum
Neutral to mildly positive. RSI14 at 57.20 is above the 50 midline but not overbought. MACD at 2.73 is above the signal at 2.65 with a small positive histogram of 0.09, indicating weekly momentum remains positive but is cooling.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 3.16 (7.08% of price) reflects the larger weekly ranges that accompanied the move from the 20-week low of 35.20 to the 52-week high of 51.59. Bollinger Bands (32.68 to 51.60) are wide, with price in the upper-middle portion of the band.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 14,361,000 is 69% of the 20-week average (20,800,660), indicating reduced participation during the recent consolidation.

Assessment

The weekly chart keeps MGM in a longer-term uptrend. Price remains above all key weekly moving averages, RSI is above 50, and the MACD is positive even after the pullback. The intermediate-term advance is intact as long as price holds above the weekly SMA20 at 42.14. A sustained move back above the 20-day high of 48.25 would open a retest of the 52-week high at 51.59, while a break below the weekly SMA20 would shift risk toward the weekly SMA200 near 38.76.
