Bottom line

NDAQ Technical Analysis Summary

NDAQ (Nasdaq, Inc.) shows a strengthening recovery at the August 3, 2026 cutoff. The daily close of 94.14 is above SMA20 (91.27), SMA50 (88.06), and SMA200 (88.79), with daily RSI14 at 60.36 and a positive MACD histogram at 0.31. The completed weekly close of 94.19 is also above all three weekly averages, and the weekly MACD histogram has turned positive at 0.74. Price has rebounded strongly from the 76.55 low and now faces resistance at 96.87 (20-day and 20-week high), with the 101.11 52-week high further above. Immediate support sits at 83.24 (20-day low), then 76.55. A close above 96.87 would confirm a new uptrend leg, while a break below 83.24 would suggest the recovery has stalled.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed with a bullish short-term bias. Price at 94.14 is above SMA20 (91.27), SMA50 (88.06), and SMA200 (88.79). The averages are not yet in full bullish order because SMA50 (88.06) remains slightly below SMA200 (88.79), but the close has cleared all three after the recovery from the 76.55 low.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 60.36 is above the neutral 50 level, indicating positive momentum without overbought conditions. MACD at 2.31 is above its signal at 1.99, and the positive histogram at 0.31 confirms upward momentum is building.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.53, or 2.69% of price. Bollinger Bands span 84.92 to 97.61, with the close in the upper half of the range, consistent with the recent advance.
Volume
Near average. Latest volume of 4,015,800 is 98.1% of the 20-period average (4,093,740), showing normal participation during the recovery.

Assessment

The daily timeframe shows a constructive recovery. Price has climbed back above all three major moving averages after bottoming near 76.55, and RSI and MACD both point higher. The next challenge is the 96.87 20-day high. Volume is near average, so the advance has only modest confirmation. A close below SMA20 at 91.27 would signal the recovery has paused.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed but improving. The completed weekly close at 94.19 is above SMA20 (87.74), SMA50 (89.10), and SMA200 (69.67). SMA20 at 87.74 is still below SMA50 at 89.10, so the averages are not in full bullish order, but SMA200 well below confirms the long-term uptrend remains intact.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 57.36 is above the neutral level. MACD at 0.52 has crossed above its signal at -0.22, and the positive histogram at 0.74 indicates improving momentum after the recovery.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 5.89, or 6.25% of price, reflecting wide weekly ranges consistent with the volatility since the spring low.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 19,009,000 is 106.9% of the 20-week average (17,779,655), showing active participation.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe is turning more constructive. Price is above all weekly averages and the MACD has just turned positive. The 76.55 20-week low and the longer-term SMA200 at 69.67 provide solid downside references. The 96.87 20-week high is the immediate resistance, with the 101.11 60-week high further above.
