Bottom line
NGG Technical Analysis Summary
NGG (National Grid) shows a short-term pullback within a longer-term uptrend as of the August 5, 2026 close. Daily price at 80.26 sits just below the SMA200 (80.95) and below the SMA20 (81.79) and SMA50 (81.86), after retreating from the 20-period high of 85.02 set in mid-July. Daily momentum is soft with RSI14 at 44.08 and a negative MACD histogram of -0.23. On the weekly chart, price at 79.97 is below the SMA20 (82.83) but above the SMA50 (78.95) and well above the rising SMA200 (61.57), and the 252-period return of +79.40% confirms a strong multi-year advance. NGG is a UK-based regulated utility operating electricity and gas networks in the UK and the US, with a low-volatility price profile. Key resistance is at 80.95 (SMA200) and 85.02 (20-period high), while support sits at 78.76 (20-period low) and 77.43 (60-period low). A sustained reclaim of the SMA200 would signal stabilization, while a break below 77.43 would point to a deeper correction.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Neutral to bearish in the short term. Price at 80.26 trades just below the SMA200 (80.95), SMA20 (81.79), and SMA50 (81.86) after pulling back from the 20-period high of 85.02. The moving averages are nearly flat, reflecting consolidation following the earlier advance.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 44.08 is below the 50 midline, indicating soft momentum. The MACD line at -0.66 is below the signal at -0.43 with a negative histogram of -0.23, confirming downward momentum in the short term.
- Volatility
- Low. ATR14 at 1.40 (1.74% of price) reflects the low-volatility profile of a regulated utility. Bollinger Bands (78.94 to 84.65) place price in the lower half of the range, consistent with the recent pullback.
- Volume
- Average. Latest volume of 761,100 is 100.0% of the 20-period average of 760,700, indicating normal participation during the correction.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price has slipped below the key moving averages and momentum has turned negative, but the decline has been measured and volume has not spiked. The 252-period return of +15.00% and the 52-week position of 56.29% show the stock remains in a constructive longer-term range. A reclaim of the SMA200 at 80.95 would be the first sign of stabilization, while a break below the 20-period low at 78.76 would open the way toward the 60-period low at 77.43.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Neutral with a long-term uptrend. Price at 79.97 is below the SMA20 (82.83) but above the SMA50 (78.95) and well above the rising SMA200 (61.57). The longer-term trend remains upward while the intermediate term is correcting.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 46.74 is just below the 50 midline. The MACD line at 0.48 is below the signal at 1.07 with a negative histogram of -0.59, indicating fading momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 3.87 (4.84% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges as the stock corrects from the 60-period high of 92.22.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest weekly volume of 4,013,000 is 70.5% of the 20-week average of 5,695,520, showing reduced participation during the pullback.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms an intermediate correction within a strong longer-term uptrend. Price remains above the weekly SMA50 and well above the rising SMA200, and the 252-period return of +79.40% underscores the multi-year advance. RSI near 50 and a negative MACD histogram suggest the correction may not be finished. Support sits at 77.43 (20-period low) and 64.87 (60-period low and 52-week low), while resistance is at the SMA20 (82.83) and the 20-period high (89.29).
