Bottom line
ODFL Technical Analysis Summary
ODFL is recovering from a sharp pullback while the longer-term uptrend remains intact. On the daily chart, price at 219.32 rebounded 3.69% on the latest session, yet it still trades below the SMA20 (226.19) and SMA50 (226.57) while holding above the SMA200 (188.66). The RSI at 45.66 has recovered from weak levels, though the MACD histogram at -2.01 remains negative. The weekly chart shows price below the SMA20 (215.44) but above the SMA50 (181.42) and SMA200 (179.43), with the SMA50 holding above the SMA200 and preserving the longer-term uptrend. Key support rests at the 20-day low of 205.16, while resistance stands at the 20-day high of 238.51 and the 52-week high of 252.03. A close back above the SMA20 at 226.19 would signal stabilization, while a break below 205.16 would open the way toward the 60-day low at 186.65.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 219.32 is below the SMA20 (226.19) and SMA50 (226.57) but above the SMA200 (188.66). The strong rebound on the latest session has pulled price back toward the short-term moving averages, though it has not yet reclaimed them. The SMA200 still slopes upward, reflecting a short-term correction inside a longer-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 45.66 has recovered from weak levels and sits in neutral territory. MACD at -2.13 with signal at -0.12 and a negative histogram of -2.01 shows downside momentum that is easing but has not yet turned positive.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 8.00 (3.65% of price) shows average daily movement of about 3.7%. Bollinger Bands (210.89 to 241.49) are wide, with price recovering toward the middle band after touching the lower band.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 1,728,544 is 99.2% of the 20-period average (1,742,047), showing participation in line with recent norms during the rebound.
Assessment
The daily chart shows the early stages of a recovery after a sharp correction. Price rebounded 3.69% on the latest session, lifting the RSI back to 45.66, while the MACD histogram remains negative but has improved. Volume was near average, offering limited confirmation in either direction. The stock holds above the SMA200 (188.66), and the 52-week position at 74.2% keeps the longer-term uptrend intact. A close above the SMA20 (226.19) would be the first sign of stabilization, while a break below the 20-day low at 205.16 would extend the correction toward the 60-day low at 186.65.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 212.14 is below the SMA20 (215.44) but above the SMA50 (181.42) and SMA200 (179.43). The SMA50 at 181.42 holds above the SMA200 at 179.43, preserving the intermediate-term bullish alignment despite the pullback.
- Momentum
- Neutral to Bearish. RSI14 at 51.70 is in neutral territory. MACD at 12.07 with signal at 13.74 and a slightly negative histogram of -1.68 indicates fading upside momentum after the recent drop.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 17.09 (8.06% of price) reflects above-average weekly ranges for a transportation stock during the correction.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 11,958,200 is 127.1% of the 20-week average (9,407,690), showing elevated activity during the selloff.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a sharp pullback week, with price falling below the SMA20 while remaining above the SMA50 and SMA200. The -8.95% one-week return is the steepest drop in the analysis window, and the slightly negative MACD histogram suggests momentum has stalled. The SMA50/SMA200 alignment remains bullish, and the 52-week position at 68.5% keeps the stock in the upper half of its range. The weekly picture is consistent with a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend, with the SMA20 at 215.44 acting as nearby resistance.
