Bottom line
NI Technical Analysis Summary
NI is in a short-term downtrend with price at 44.53 below the daily SMA20 (45.76), SMA50 (46.34), and marginally below the SMA200 (44.62). Daily RSI14 at 38.94 has weakened toward oversold without reaching it, and the daily MACD histogram is negative. The weekly chart still holds above its SMA50 (44.09) and far above the SMA200 (32.63), so the longer-term uptrend that produced a 7.71% one-year return on the daily series and a 115.10% five-year return on the weekly series remains intact but is under pressure. The stock trades near the middle of its 52-week range (37.45 to 48.88) at about a 62% position. A close back above the daily SMA20 at 45.76 would be the first sign of stabilization, and a sustained break above 48.88 would be bullish. A daily close below 44.03 (the 20 and 60 period low) would signal a deeper correction toward the lower end of the range.

Daily (August 3, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish. Price at 44.53 is below the SMA20 (45.76), the SMA50 (46.34), and just below the SMA200 (44.62). The SMA20 has rolled over and the SMA50 is sloping lower, confirming short-term selling pressure, while the SMA200 has flattened near 44.62, leaving longer-term support close to the current price.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.94 is below the neutral 50 level and approaching oversold, showing weakening momentum. MACD at -0.53 sits below its signal at -0.38 with a negative histogram of -0.15, confirming the downtrend is still in force.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.89 (2.01% of price) is in line with recent daily ranges. Bollinger Bands run from 44.14 to 47.38, and price is trading near the lower band, consistent with the current weakness.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest daily volume of 4,953,700 is about 110% of the 20-period average (4,487,810), showing elevated participation during the decline.
Assessment
The daily chart favors the bears in the near term. Price is below all three major moving averages, RSI is below 50, and the MACD histogram is negative. The first meaningful support is the 20 and 60 period low at 44.03. A rebound back above 45.76 (daily SMA20) would relieve the downward pressure.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed with a longer-term bullish bias. Price at 44.43 is below the weekly SMA20 (46.61) but above the SMA50 (44.09) and well above the SMA200 (32.63). The pullback is taking place within a structure where the longer-term moving averages remain firmly higher.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bearish. RSI14 at 44.91 is in neutral territory. MACD at 0.54 is below its signal at 0.95 with a negative histogram of -0.42, so momentum has cooled, but the MACD line is still positive in absolute terms.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.92 (4.32% of price) reflects wider weekly swings. Bollinger Bands run from 44.46 to 48.77, and price sits just below the lower band, placing the pullback at the lower edge of the recent weekly range.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 21,036,400 is about 100% of the 20-week average (20,950,190), so the pullback has not triggered unusual volume.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe shows a corrective pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price remains above the weekly SMA50 and SMA200, and the five-year return of 115.10% highlights the longer-term advance. As long as price holds above the weekly SMA50 near 44.09, the correction is best viewed as consolidation within an uptrend rather than a reversal.

Scenarios
NI Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
Price reclaims the daily SMA20 (45.76) and SMA50 (46.34) on above-average volume, then pushes through the 60-period high at 48.88.
Invalidation
Price fails to hold the 20 and 60 period low at 44.03 and prints a lower low, breaking below the daily SMA200 zone near 44.62.
What to watch
A daily close above 45.76 (SMA20) would be the first sign of recovery. Watch for RSI14 recovering through 50 and the MACD histogram turning less negative.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price oscillates between support near 44.03 (20 and 60 period low) and resistance near 45.76 to 46.34 (daily SMA20 and SMA50).
Invalidation
A decisive break above 48.88 or a breakdown below 44.03 on strong volume.
What to watch
Declining volume during the pullback would support consolidation. RSI oscillating between 35 and 55 would be consistent with a range.
Bearish
Trigger
Price closes below 44.03 (20 and 60 period low) and breaks the daily SMA200 near 44.62, opening the path toward the lower part of the 52-week range.
Invalidation
Price holds above 44.03 and reclaims the daily SMA20 at 45.76.
What to watch
A daily MACD histogram extending further negative and rising volume on down days would confirm distribution. On the weekly chart, a close below the SMA50 near 44.09 would weaken the longer-term case.
