Bottom line
PCAR Technical Analysis Summary
PCAR maintains a bullish technical posture on both daily and weekly timeframes. The stock is trading above its SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 on both timeframes, with all major moving averages in a bullish ascending alignment. RSI at 65.32 (daily) and 67.83 (weekly) is in bullish territory but below the overbought threshold of 70. The daily MACD histogram at 0.24 is positive, and the weekly MACD histogram at 1.26 is positive and rising, indicating that bullish momentum remains intact. Volume is above average on both timeframes, with the latest daily session arriving on 155.5% of the 20-day norm, supporting the advance. Price sits near the top of its 52-week range, and the 52-week high at 139.24 is the immediate resistance. The SMA20 at 128.96 and the 20-day low at 121.30 are the first support levels; a close below them would signal near-term weakness.
