Bottom line

ORCL Technical Analysis Summary

ORCL closed at 141.85 on August 3, 2026 after a 9.22% rebound advance on volume about 26% above its 20-day average. The move off the 52-week low of 114.50 lifted price back above the daily SMA20 at 128.71 and pushed the daily RSI to 53.38 with the MACD histogram turning positive at 3.48. The longer-term structure remains bearish: price still trades below the SMA50 at 163.57 and the SMA200 at 181.17, and the weekly chart shows price below all key moving averages with the weekly RSI at 39.13 and a negative MACD histogram. The stock sits at 12.03% of its 52-week range after a 252-day return of -43.47%. First resistance is the 20-day high at 148.55, then the SMA50 at 163.57. Key support sits at 128.71 (SMA20) and then 114.50 (52-week low). A sustained close above 148.55 would extend the recovery, while a loss of the SMA20 would suggest the rebound has stalled.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed with a short-term bullish bounce. Price at 141.85 rebounded above SMA20 (128.71) after a sharp sell-off, but remains below SMA50 (163.57) and SMA200 (181.17). The SMA20 has started to flatten and turn up while SMA50 and SMA200 still slope down, leaving the daily chart in a corrective phase. The stock trades at 12.03% of its 52-week range after finding a low at 114.5.
Momentum
Improving. RSI14 at 53.38 has recovered from oversold to a neutral zone. MACD at -8.46 is still below zero but has crossed above the signal at -11.94 with a positive histogram of 3.48, signaling a short-term bullish momentum shift after an extended decline.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 8.12 (5.73% of price) reflects above-normal daily ranges for a large-cap stock. Bollinger Bands run from 111.53 to 145.89, and the close at 141.85 is near the upper band, consistent with a strong rebound after a volatile breakdown.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 49,696,900 is about 127% of the 20-day average (39,276,685), supporting the August 3 rebound advance.

Assessment

The daily chart is in a corrective phase with a strong short-term bounce. Price reclaimed the SMA20 and the MACD histogram turned positive, but the longer-term SMAs remain bearish. The rebound follows a fall to a 52-week low of 114.50 and a 252-day return of -43.47%. A sustained move above the 20-day high at 148.55 would extend the recovery, while a loss of the SMA20 at 128.71 would suggest the bounce has stalled. The first major overhead hurdle is the SMA50 at 163.57.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 129.87 is below SMA20 (163.62), SMA50 (193.99), and SMA200 (144.44), with the longer-term moving averages still pointing down. The 5-week return of -12.26% and a position at 6.76% of the 52-week range reflect a severe breakdown. The week of July 27 posted a 12.94% rebound, but price still trades below all major moving averages.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 39.13 is weak but has lifted off the deeply oversold readings of prior weeks. MACD at -14.00 with signal at -8.44 and a negative histogram of -5.56 shows selling pressure persists on the weekly timeframe.
Volatility
Very elevated. ATR14 at 22.75 (17.52% of price) reflects extreme weekly ranges consistent with a capitulation-type decline. Bollinger Bands run from 103.73 to 223.51, reflecting the scale of recent price swings.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 173,440,900 is about 121% of the 20-week average (143,240,710), confirming active trading during the breakdown and rebound.

Assessment

The weekly chart remains in a confirmed downtrend with price below all key SMAs. The 252-week return of +54.81% still shows long-term appreciation, but the 60-week return of -24.36% shows the scale of the recent decline. The weekly series ends with the week of July 27 and does not yet include the full August 3 daily rebound. The SMA200 at 144.44 and the SMA20 at 163.62 now act as overhead resistance rather than support. A weekly close back above the SMA20 would be needed to suggest the multi-month downtrend is ending, while a break below the 114.50 low would open further downside toward the weekly lower Bollinger band at 103.73.
