Bottom line
MU Technical Analysis Summary
MU (Micron Technology) shows a bullish long-term structure with price well above SMA50 and SMA200 on both timeframes, but the daily trend is mixed as price trades below SMA20 (1050.58) after pulling back from recent highs. The weekly trend remains bullish with price at 979.30 above SMA20 (676.36), SMA50 (415.10), and SMA200 (167.02). Daily RSI14 at 49.72 is neutral, while weekly RSI at 68.72 shows building momentum without being overbought. The daily MACD histogram is negative at -24.95 signaling near-term bearish pressure, contrasting with the weekly MACD histogram at +31.36 which confirms the larger uptrend. Key support rests at 891.66 (20-day low) and 435.83 (60-day low). Key resistance is at 1254.81 (20-day high and 52-week high). A break above 1254.81 would confirm renewed bullish momentum; a break below 891.66 would suggest deeper correction.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 983.12 is below SMA20 (1050.58) but above SMA50 (916.62) and SMA200 (472.26). The price has pulled back from the 1254.81 high after the massive rally, creating a short-term downtrend within a long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bearish. RSI14 at 49.72 is exactly at the neutral 50 level, indicating no clear directional bias. MACD at 9.49 is above zero but the histogram at -24.95 is negative and the MACD line is below the signal line (34.44), indicating bearish short-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 84.24 (8.57% of price) reflects wide daily ranges characteristic of a high-beta semiconductor stock. Bollinger Bands (879.03 to 1222.14) are wide, with price near the lower band, reflecting the recent pullback.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 30,470,097 is 58.7% of the 20-period average (51,949,710), suggesting the pullback may be on declining participation.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a mixed picture. Price is in a short-term pullback from the 1254.81 high, trading below SMA20 with a negative MACD histogram. The neutral RSI and declining volume on the pullback suggest selling pressure may be exhausting rather than accelerating. The long-term structure remains intact with price above SMA50 and SMA200.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish with strong long-term structure. Price at 979.30 is above SMA20 (676.36), SMA50 (415.10), and SMA200 (167.02) with all SMAs sloping steeply upward. The SMA200 has risen from below 100 to 167.02, confirming the structural uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 68.72 is in bullish territory approaching overbought but not yet at extreme levels. MACD at 190.84 with the histogram positive at 31.36 and the MACD line above the signal line (159.48) confirms strong bullish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 122.36 (12.49% of price) is consistent with the historical volatility of MU as a high-beta semiconductor stock. Bollinger Bands (132.36 to 1220.37) are extremely wide, reflecting the massive price range over the 5-year period.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 205,341,100 is 87.7% of the 20-week average (234,265,555), indicating normal participation.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe remains strongly bullish. Price is well above all key SMAs in a confirmed uptrend. RSI at 68.72 supports bullish momentum without being overbought. The positive MACD histogram confirms the trend. The pullback on the daily chart appears to be a healthy correction within a larger weekly uptrend.
