Bottom line
PANW Technical Analysis Summary
PANW shows a strong multi-timeframe bullish structure. The daily chart has price at 366.34 above SMA20 (336.58), SMA50 (309.55) and SMA200 (215.81), with all major averages in a bullish stack. The August 4 close gained 5.53% on above-average volume, putting price just below the 52-week high at 368.80. The daily RSI at 66.60 is below the 70 overbought threshold, and the MACD histogram at -0.48 is only mildly negative, so the momentum pause from late July appears to be resolving. The weekly chart is strongly bullish with price at 331.83 well above SMA20 (249.06), SMA50 (212.91) and SMA200 (161.01), and the weekly MACD histogram is positive at 9.46 with RSI at 67.51. Key resistance sits at 368.80, the 52-week high that is also the 20- and 60-period high on both timeframes. Key support is at 336.58 (daily SMA20), then 308.54 (20-period low) and 309.55 (daily SMA50). A sustained close above 368.80 would confirm the next leg higher; a break below 308.54 would signal a deeper correction.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 366.34 is above SMA20 (336.58), SMA50 (309.55) and SMA200 (215.81), with all three averages in a bullish stack and sloping upward. Price has gained 111.90% over the past 252 sessions and sits near the top of its 52-week range. The August 4 close rose 5.53% on above-average volume, placing price just below the 52-week high at 368.80.
- Momentum
- Neutral with a bullish tilt. RSI14 at 66.60 is above the 50 midline but below the 70 overbought threshold, indicating positive momentum with room to run. MACD at 8.58 is slightly below the signal line at 9.06 with a mildly negative histogram of -0.48, suggesting the recent acceleration has briefly paused.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 15.79 (4.31% of price) reflects above-average daily swings typical of a high-growth cybersecurity stock. Bollinger Bands (306.39 to 366.77) are relatively wide, and the close at 366.34 sits just under the upper band, consistent with the strong uptrend.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 7,806,853 is 120.8% of the 20-period average (6,461,143), indicating renewed participation on the August 4 advance.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a strong bullish structure with price above all major moving averages and close to the 52-week high at 368.80. The August 4 gain of 5.53% on above-average volume shows buyers are back after the late-July pullback. The mildly negative MACD histogram at -0.48 is the main near-term caution, but the structure remains constructive. A close above 368.80 would confirm a breakout to new highs. The key risk is a pullback toward SMA20 support at 336.58, followed by the 20-period low at 308.54.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Strongly bullish. Price at 331.83 is well above SMA20 (249.06), SMA50 (212.91) and SMA200 (161.01), with the averages in a steep upward alignment. The 252-week return of +309.24% and the 20-week return of +98.68% confirm the powerful multi-year uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 67.51 is above the 50 midline and near, but below, the 70 overbought threshold, indicating strong medium-term momentum that is not yet overextended. MACD at 41.45 is above the signal line at 31.98 with a positive histogram of 9.46, confirming the uptrend is intact.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 28.80 (8.68% of price) reflects large weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (108.22 to 389.91) are extremely wide, consistent with the high-volatility regime of the past year.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 29,954,600 is 79.1% of the 20-week average (37,892,245), indicating lighter participation during the week ended July 31.
Assessment
The weekly chart remains decisively bullish with price above all key moving averages and a positive MACD configuration (histogram at 9.46). The weekly RSI at 67.51 is high but below the overbought threshold, so the medium-term uptrend is intact without an extreme reading. The 20-period low at 143.50 and the 60-period low at 139.57 form deep invalidation zones, while the 52-week high at 368.80 is the level to clear for the next leg higher.
