Bottom line
MKSI Technical Analysis Summary
MKSI shows a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend as of the August 5 cutoff. The stock rallied to a 52-week high near 447.62 and then pulled back sharply, falling to a low near 256.16 before bouncing to 313.10. Price trades below the SMA20 and SMA50 on the daily chart but remains above the SMA200. On the weekly chart, price is below the SMA20 but above the SMA50 and SMA200, keeping the primary trend intact. Momentum is neutral at best, with RSI near 46 on the daily and 51 on the weekly, while the MACD histogram is negative on both timeframes after the prior advance. Volatility is elevated, with ATR near 8% of price daily and 14% weekly, and volume has been above average during the sharp moves. Key support rests at the 256.16 area (20 and 60 day low) and the 200-day SMA near 247. Resistance sits near the SMA20 at 327, the SMA50 near 346.58, and the recent swing high at 380.50, with the 52-week high of 447.62 above.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Neutral to slightly bearish. Price at 313.10 is below SMA20 (327.03) and SMA50 (346.58) but above SMA200 (247.12). Price has been falling from the 52-week high of 447.62 and is in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 45.77 is slightly below the neutral 50 mark, reflecting a mild bearish tilt without reaching oversold. MACD line at -14.28 is below the signal line at -13.23 with a negative histogram of -1.05, indicating negative short-term momentum that has not yet confirmed a bottom.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 25.63 (8.18% of price) reflects wide daily ranges. Bollinger Bands (270.36 to 383.69) are wide, with price below the middle band, consistent with a sharp move lower followed by a bounce.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest daily volume of 2,362,700 is 162% of the 20-period average (1,462,230), confirming strong participation during the recent volatility.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a sharp pullback from the 447.62 high that has stabilized above the 200-day SMA. The bounce from the 256.16 low has been strong with above-average volume, but price still trades below the 20 and 50 day SMAs. The negative MACD histogram suggests the correction is not yet complete, while the RSI near 46 leaves room in either direction. A sustained close above the SMA20 near 327 would improve the short-term structure, while a break below 256.16 would resume the correction.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Neutral within a long-term uptrend. Price at 297.45 is below SMA20 (309.47) but above SMA50 (224.43) and well above SMA200 (129.88). The SMA200 remains in a strong uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral to mildly bearish. RSI14 at 51.16 is neutral. MACD line at 34.06 has crossed below the signal line at 40.82 with a negative histogram of -6.77, indicating fading weekly momentum after the prior rally.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 42.19 (14.18% of price) reflects very wide weekly ranges, indicating high volatility during the recent drawdown. Bollinger Bands (209.54 to 409.40) are wide.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 10,054,600 is 164% of the 20-week average (6,125,300), reflecting heavy participation during the selloff and rebound.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a powerful long-term uptrend that has recently suffered a sharp correction. Price remains above the SMA50 and SMA200, so the primary trend is intact, but the break below the SMA20 and the negative MACD histogram indicate the correction may continue or need time to resolve. The elevated ATR and above-average volume point to an unsettled equilibrium. Watch whether price holds above the 50-week SMA near 224 to preserve the long-term uptrend.
