Bottom line

NDAQ Technical Analysis Summary

NDAQ (Nasdaq, Inc.) shows a mixed technical picture. On the daily timeframe, price at 88.01 has recovered above SMA20 (84.00) and SMA50 (87.21) but remains just below SMA200 (88.42), suggesting the short-term trend is improving while the long-term trend is not yet confirmed bullish. The daily RSI14 at 56.02 is neutral with a slight bullish bias, and the MACD histogram has turned positive at 1.02, signaling building upside momentum. The weekly timeframe is more cautious with RSI exactly at 50.88 (neutral) and a bearish MACD alignment. Key support rests at 76.55 (20/60-day low), while resistance stands at 92.75 (20-day high) and 93.60 (60-day high). A sustained move above 88.42 (SMA200) and then 92.75 would confirm a bullish reversal; a break below 76.55 would signal renewed downside risk.

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Mixed with improving short-term structure. Price at 88.01 is above SMA20 (84.00) and SMA50 (87.21) but slightly below SMA200 (88.42). The price has recovered from the 76.55 low area and is now testing the SMA200, a key long-term trend indicator.
Momentum
Slightly bullish. RSI14 at 56.02 is above the neutral 50 level, suggesting mild bullish momentum without overbought conditions. MACD at 0.26 with the signal at -0.77 and a positive histogram at 1.02 indicates a bullish crossover has occurred and momentum is building.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.60 (2.96% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 2.6 points. Bollinger Bands (76.00 to 91.99) are moderately wide, with price near the upper half, reflecting recent upward movement from the lows.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 3,613,731 is 69.8% of the 20-period average (5,180,002), suggesting reduced participation in the recent rally.

Assessment

The daily timeframe shows a constructive recovery pattern. Price has bounced from the 76.55 area (the 20/60-day low) and is now challenging the SMA200 at 88.42. The positive MACD histogram and RSI above 50 support the recovery narrative. However, below-average volume and the proximity to SMA200 resistance warrant caution. A decisive close above 88.42 would strengthen the bullish case significantly.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 88.08 is above SMA20 (86.84) but below SMA50 (89.20). The SMA200 at 69.11 remains well below, confirming the long-term uptrend is intact despite recent weakness. The price range over the past 60 weeks (76.55 to 101.11) reflects the broader trading range.
Momentum
Neutral to slightly bearish. RSI14 at 50.88 is at the exact neutral level. MACD at -0.88 with the signal at -0.54 and a negative histogram at -0.34 reflects bearish alignment, though the negative momentum appears to be decelerating.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 5.89 (6.69% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges, consistent with the multi-month consolidation pattern.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 18,696,700 is 104.0% of the 20-week average (17,976,600), indicating consistent participation.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe is consolidating in a broad range between 76.55 and 101.11. The price is sandwiched between SMA20 and SMA50, reflecting a lack of clear directional bias. The MACD remains bearish, though the RSI at neutral suggests selling pressure is not intensifying. The 60-week SMA200 provides a solid long-term support foundation. A breakout above 93.60 (20-week high) would improve the weekly outlook.
