Bottom line

PKX Technical Analysis Summary

PKX (POSCO Holdings) shows a mixed technical picture. On the daily timeframe, price at 75.30 sits above SMA20 (72.85) and SMA50 (70.42) but below SMA200 (78.91), indicating a short-term recovery within a longer-term downtrend. RSI14 at 52.40 on the daily and 48.10 on the weekly suggests neutral momentum without clear directional bias. The weekly MACD remains below the zero line though the histogram has been narrowing, hinting at fading downside momentum. Key support levels are at 69.11 (20-day low) and 63.15 (60-day low), while resistance sits at 79.84 (20-day high) and 86.27 (60-day high). The stock is in a range-bound phase after recovering from its 52-week low of 56.47, trading at 45.7% of the 52-week range. A breakout above 79.84 would signal strengthening momentum, while a breakdown below 69.11 would suggest renewed weakness.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (July 17, 2026)

Trend
Neutral with short-term bullish bias. Price at 75.30 is above SMA20 (72.85) and SMA50 (70.42) but below SMA200 (78.91). The SMA200 at 78.91 is sloping downward, confirming the longer-term bearish structure. The stock has been recovering from the June 2026 lows around 63.15 but remains well below the 52-week high of 97.49.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 52.40 is near the 50 midline, indicating no strong directional momentum. MACD (0.45) is above the signal line though the histogram at -0.08 is slightly negative, suggesting a pause in buying pressure.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.47 (3.28% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 2.5%. Bollinger Bands (67.84 to 77.86) are moderately wide with price near the upper half, reflecting the recent recovery attempt.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 312,500 is approximately 82% of the 20-period average (381,000), indicating normal participation levels for this ADR.

Assessment

The daily timeframe shows a short-term recovery within a longer-term downtrend. Price has bounced from the 63-69 support zone and reclaimed SMA20 and SMA50, which is a positive near-term signal. However, the SMA200 at 78.91 remains a significant resistance level. The neutral RSI and flat MACD histogram suggest the recovery may be losing steam. A sustained move above 78-80 would be needed to shift the bias more bullish.

Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish with potential stabilization. Price at 74.88 is below SMA20 (80.12), SMA50 (86.45), and SMA200 (88.30). All three SMAs are sloping downward, confirming the long-term downtrend. SMA20 has been acting as resistance during bounces.
Momentum
Neutral-to-bearish. RSI14 at 48.10 is just below the 50 midline. MACD at -2.84 remains below zero, though the histogram has narrowed to 0.65 from more negative levels earlier in the year, suggesting downside momentum is fading.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 5.12 (6.84% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges, consistent with the volatile global steel market environment.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of approximately 1,800,000 is in line with the 20-week average, indicating consistent participation.

Assessment

The weekly timeframe remains bearish with price below all key moving averages. The positive development is that the MACD histogram has been narrowing, which could indicate that selling pressure is exhausting. However, the stock needs to close above SMA20 (80.12) on a weekly basis to suggest a more meaningful trend change. The 56.47 area (52-week low) remains a critical support level for the long-term structure.
