Bottom line
NI Technical Analysis Summary
NI shows a mixed-to-bearish short-term picture with price below both the SMA20 (47.38) and SMA50 (47.09) on the daily chart, while remaining above the SMA200 (44.68). The daily MACD has crossed below its signal line with a negative histogram, indicating weakening momentum. RSI14 at 45.96 is in neutral-bearish territory. The weekly chart similarly shows price marginally below the weekly SMA20 (47.07) but well above the SMA50 (44.12) and SMA200 (32.53), suggesting the longer-term uptrend that has delivered a 20.96% annual gain is intact but pausing. The stock is trading near the middle of its 52-week range (38.45 - 49.21) with a position at 77.5%, leaving room for both directions. A break above 47.38 (daily SMA20) and 49.21 (52-week high) would be bullish; a close below 44.68 (daily SMA200) would signal a more significant trend shift.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed to bearish. Price at 46.62 is below SMA20 (47.38) and SMA50 (47.09), but above SMA200 (44.68). The SMA20 and SMA50 are flat-to-declining, indicating short-term bearish pressure. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, providing a longer-term bullish foundation.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 45.96 is below the neutral 50 level, indicating bearish bias. MACD at -0.05 with signal at 0.07 and a negative histogram of -0.12 confirms bearish momentum with the MACD line below the signal line.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.88 (1.88% of price) reflects typical daily movement for a regulated utility. Bollinger Bands (46.23 to 48.53) are moderately narrow, with price trading near the lower band, reflecting the current bearish pressure.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest daily volume of 5,131,330 is 104.7% of the 20-period average (4,899,757), indicating marginally elevated participation on the down day.
Assessment
The daily timeframe is showing short-term bearish signals. Price has broken below both the SMA20 and SMA50, the MACD has crossed bearishly, and RSI is below 50. The key support at 44.68 (SMA200) is the most critical level to watch. A bounce at this level would maintain the longer-term uptrend structure.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 46.90 is marginally below SMA20 (47.07) but above SMA50 (44.12) and SMA200 (32.53). The SMA20 has flattened, while SMA50 and SMA200 maintain upward slopes, suggesting a pause within a longer-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 53.42 is in neutral territory. MACD at 1.04 with signal at 1.21 and a negative histogram of -0.16 indicates the weekly momentum has turned negative, though MACD levels remain positive in absolute terms.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.86 (3.96% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a utility stock. Bollinger Bands (45.18 to 48.96) are moderately wide, with price near the lower band, consistent with the weekly consolidation.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 18,221,800 is 88.7% of the 20-week average (20,537,755), suggesting less urgency in the current pullback.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms a pause within the broader uptrend. Price consolidating near the SMA20 with neutral RSI reflects a market in balance. The positive long-term structure (price above SMA200 and 122.7% annual return) provides context that this is likely a correction within an uptrend rather than a trend reversal.

Scenarios
NI Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
Price reclaims the SMA20 (47.38) and SMA50 (47.09) with above-average volume, and subsequently breaks above the 52-week high of 49.21.
Invalidation
Price fails to hold the SMA200 (44.68) and continues to make lower lows below the 60-period low of 45.09.
What to watch
A daily close above 47.38 (SMA20) would be the first sign of short-term recovery. Watch for RSI crossing back above 50 and MACD histogram turning less negative.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price continues to oscillate between the SMA200 support at 44.68 and the SMA20 resistance at 47.38.
Invalidation
A decisive breakout above 49.21 or a breakdown below 44.68 with conviction.
What to watch
Volume declining further would support consolidation. Watch for RSI oscillating between 40 and 60 as a sign of range continuation.
Bearish
Trigger
Price breaks below the SMA200 (44.68) and the 60-period low (45.09), suggesting the longer-term uptrend may be failing.
Invalidation
Price holds above the SMA200 (44.68) and reclaims the SMA20 (47.38).
What to watch
A daily MACD histogram extending further into negative territory would confirm bearish momentum. Watch for volume increasing on down days as a sign of distribution.
