Bottom line
NKE Technical Analysis Summary
NKE displays a bearish technical picture across both daily and weekly timeframes. Price trades below all key moving averages (SMA20, SMA50, SMA200) on both timeframes, with the SMA200 sloping downward confirming the long-term downtrend. RSI near 47 on daily and 41 on weekly shows bearish momentum without reaching oversold territory below 30. The MACD histogram has turned positive on daily, suggesting early signs of momentum improvement, but the weekly MACD remains negative though narrowing. Key support rests at the 52-week low of 40.00 and the Bollinger lower band. Resistance is at SMA20 (43.08) and SMA50 (43.47). A sustained break above the SMA50 would be the first sign of trend reversal; a breakdown below 40.00 would open further downside.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 42.86 is below SMA20 (43.08), SMA50 (43.47), and SMA200 (55.57). The SMA20 is below SMA200, confirming a bearish alignment. All key moving averages are sloping downward.
- Momentum
- Neutral-Bearish. RSI14 at 47.56 is in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. MACD at -0.16 with signal at -0.31 and a positive histogram of 0.15 suggests early signs of improving momentum, though the MACD line remains below zero.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.50 (3.50% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 3.5%. Bollinger Bands (40.38 to 45.78) are moderately wide with price near the lower band, reflecting the ongoing downtrend.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 13,090,102 is 44.5% of the 20-period average (29,439,955), indicating reduced participation.
Assessment
The daily chart is in a clear downtrend with price below all key moving averages. The positive MACD crossover is an early signal worth watching, but the trend remains bearish until price reclaims the SMA20 and SMA50. The below-average volume during the decline is not unusual for a downtrend. A move above the SMA20 at 43.08 would be the first bullish signal.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 44.37 is below SMA20 (46.58), SMA50 (58.32), and well below SMA200 (81.03). The SMA200 is sloping strongly downward, confirming a mature long-term downtrend. All major moving averages are in a bearish alignment.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 41.08 is in bearish territory but not oversold. MACD at -4.31 with signal at -4.79 and a positive but small histogram of 0.48 shows early signs of momentum stabilization.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 3.82 (8.60% of price) reflects above-normal weekly ranges, typical of a stock under persistent selling pressure.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 103,826,000 is 92.7% of the 20-week average (111,987,280), indicating normal participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the bearish daily outlook with price well below all SMAs and the SMA200 sloping downward. The RSI at 41.08 still has room to fall before reaching oversold territory. The weekly MACD histogram has turned slightly positive, which could be an early sign of decelerating bearish momentum. The 52-week position at 11.5% reflects a stock trading near its lows, which carries both risk of further decline and potential for a mean-reversion bounce.
