Bottom line

NKE Technical Analysis Summary

NKE trades below all key moving averages on both daily and weekly timeframes at the August 3, 2026 cutoff, keeping the overall trend bearish. The daily close of 42.64 sits just under SMA20 at 42.87 and SMA50 at 43.46, and well below SMA200 at 53.78. Daily RSI14 at 48.94 is neutral, while weekly RSI14 at 37.48 is soft but not oversold. Daily MACD is essentially flat near zero at -0.28 versus a -0.27 signal, and the weekly MACD histogram is positive at 0.47, pointing to decelerating bearish momentum rather than fresh weakness. Support sits near the 52-week and 60-day low at 40.00, with 40.69 as the 20-day low. Resistance is at SMA20 42.87, SMA50 43.46, and the 20-day high at 44.98. A sustained close above SMA50 would be the first signal of a trend turn; a breakdown below 40.00 would open further downside.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 42.64 is below SMA20 (42.87), SMA50 (43.46), and SMA200 (53.78), with SMA20 below SMA50 below SMA200 in a bearish alignment. The SMA200 is sloping downward, confirming the longer-term downtrend, though price has rebounded to sit only marginally below the 20-day average.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 48.94 is close to the neutral 50 level, neither overbought nor oversold. MACD at -0.28 sits just below its signal at -0.27 with a histogram of -0.01, effectively flat near zero after earlier bearish readings narrowed.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.37 (3.22% of price) reflects average daily swings near 3.2%. Bollinger Bands (41.14 to 44.60) are moderately wide, with the close sitting in the lower-middle part of the band.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 21,329,900 is 119.02% of the 20-period average (17,921,260), showing active participation on the rebound day.

Assessment

The daily chart remains in a downtrend with price below every key average, but the +2.23% rebound on above-average volume and a MACD that has flattened near zero suggest a possible stabilization attempt. A close back above SMA20 at 42.87 and then SMA50 at 43.46 would improve the near-term setup. Until then, support at 40.00 to 40.69 stays the main downside reference.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 41.71 is below SMA20 (44.38), SMA50 (56.47), and well below SMA200 (80.34). The SMA200 is sloping strongly downward, confirming a mature long-term downtrend with the averages in bearish order.
Momentum
Bearish but stabilizing. RSI14 at 37.48 is in soft territory without reaching the 30 oversold level. MACD at -3.94 remains above its signal at -4.41 with a positive histogram of 0.47, showing bearish momentum is decelerating.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 3.59 (8.62% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges typical of a stock under sustained selling pressure.
Volume
Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 95,227,400 is 84.61% of the 20-week average (112,550,465), indicating normal to reduced participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms the bearish outlook, with price at 4.50% of its 52-week range and below all weekly averages. The positive weekly MACD histogram is a mild stabilization signal, but the trend only shifts if price reclaims SMA20 at 44.38 and holds. A break below the 40.00 low would extend the downtrend.
