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 57.84 (daily) and 60.67 (weekly) is in neutral-bullish territory, neither overbought nor oversold. The daily MACD histogram at 0.22 is positive and rising, indicating bullish momentum is building. Volume on the daily chart is below average at 63.9% of the 20-day norm, suggesting the recent rally lacks strong conviction. The key level to watch is the 20-day low at 116.32; a break below that would be the first sign of short-term weakness.
