Bottom line

MGM Technical Analysis Summary

MGM (MGM Resorts International) presents a cautiously mixed technical picture with a bullish structural uptrend but near-term corrective signals. Price at 46.67 sits just below the SMA20 (47.34) but remains above the SMA50 (43.90) and SMA200 (37.42), with a golden cross alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200) confirming the intermediate-term uptrend is intact. The daily RSI at 51.92 is neutral, while the MACD has crossed bearish (line 0.58 below signal 0.95 with a negative histogram at -0.37), indicating fading momentum on the daily timeframe. The weekly chart remains constructive with price above all key SMAs and a bullish MACD. The stock is trading at the 78% level of its 52-week range (29.19 - 51.59), reflecting substantial year-to-date gains. Key support sits at 46.09 (20-day low) and 43.90 (SMA50). Key resistance stands at 50.55 (20-day high) and 51.59 (52-week high).

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Mixed-to-bullish. Price at 46.67 is above SMA50 (43.90) and SMA200 (37.42) but marginally below SMA20 (47.34). The SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 are in a bullish ascending alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200), indicating the structural uptrend is still intact despite the near-term pullback. The -4.70% 20-day return reflects recent selling pressure from the 20-day high of 50.55.
Momentum
Neutral turning bearish. RSI14 at 51.92 is around the 50 midline, offering no strong directional signal. The daily MACD at 0.58 has crossed below the signal line at 0.95 with a negative histogram at -0.37, indicating a bearish crossover. This suggests upward momentum has stalled in the near term.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.31 (2.82% of price) reflects normal daily ranges. Bollinger Bands (45.59 to 49.09) show price below the middle band at 47.34, consistent with the short-term corrective phase. Band width is moderate, not signaling an imminent volatility expansion.
Volume
Below average. Latest daily volume of 1,992,659 is 60.5% of the 20-period average (3,293,613), indicating reduced participation during the pullback. Low volume pullbacks are generally less concerning than high-volume selloffs.

Assessment

The daily chart reflects a stock pulling back from its 20-day and 52-week highs on below-average volume. The golden cross alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200) confirms the bull market structure remains intact, but the bearish MACD crossover and price below SMA20 signal caution near term. The neutral RSI provides no clear momentum edge. The key question is whether the pullback finds support at the 20-day low (46.09) or SMA50 (43.90) and resumes the uptrend. A close back above 47.34 (SMA20) would be the first sign of stabilization, while a break below 43.90 (SMA50) would suggest a deeper correction.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 46.88 is above SMA20 (40.79), SMA50 (37.34), and SMA200 (38.54) with a clear ascending alignment. The +27.43% 20-week return reflects the strong intermediate-term uptrend. The SMA200 at 38.54 is well below price, confirming the long-term uptrend is well established.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 63.89 is in bullish territory above the 50 midline but not yet in overbought conditions. The MACD at 3.21 is above the signal line at 2.39 with a positive histogram at 0.82, confirming bullish momentum across all components on the weekly timeframe.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 3.34 (7.12% of price) reflects above-average weekly ranges consistent with the significant upward trend. Bollinger Bands (31.01 to 50.57) show price near the upper band, though not yet testing the band boundary at 50.57.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 11,830,900 is 51.7% of the 20-week average (22,880,685), indicating lower participation in recent weekly trading. This divergence between price trend and volume warrants monitoring.

Assessment

The weekly chart presents a constructive bullish picture. Price is well above all three key SMAs with a healthy ascending alignment. The RSI at 63.89 confirms bullish momentum without reaching extreme levels, and the MACD is firmly bullish. The +27.43% 20-week return and +38.00% 60-week return demonstrate the sustained strength of the uptrend. The below-average weekly volume is a minor concern but not unusual for a mature trend. The near-term test will be whether the weekly price can challenge the 52-week high at 51.59 and extend the trend.
