Bottom line

PNW Technical Analysis Summary

PNW has pulled back sharply from its July peak near 110 and now trades below its 20- and 50-day moving averages while holding above the 200-day average. The daily RSI has cooled to 41.58 and the daily MACD is negative, while the weekly RSI sits near neutral at 49.91 with a just-turned bearish MACD crossover. The stock still holds a 52-week position of about 69%, and the longer-term structure above the SMA200 (95.74 daily, 78.33 weekly) remains intact. The key support zone sits at the 20-day low of 98.52 followed by the 60-day low at 96.47, with a closer weekly support cluster near 95. A daily close back above the SMA20 near 104.46 would signal that the correction is running its course, while a break below 96.47 would open the door to a deeper retracement toward the 200-day average.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed and corrective. Price at 101.50 is below the SMA20 (104.46) and SMA50 (103.45) but remains above the SMA200 (95.74). The shorter moving averages have flattened or turned down as PNW retreated from the July high near 110, while the SMA200 still points up. This reads as a corrective phase inside a larger uptrend rather than a confirmed downtrend.
Momentum
Neutral with a bearish tilt. RSI14 at 41.58 sits below the midpoint after cooling from the overbought territory seen in July. The MACD line at -0.97 is below the signal line at -0.37 with a negative histogram of -0.60, confirming short-term downside momentum. The index is not oversold, so the pullback may still have room to run.
Volatility
Moderate for a utility stock. ATR14 at 2.19 (2.15% of price) is elevated relative to the recent calm spell. Bollinger Bands run from 99.30 to 109.62 around a middle band of 104.46, and price is trading in the lower half of the range. The wider bands reflect the pickup in realized volatility during the decline.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 1,184,500 is about 94% of the 20-period average of 1,262,305. The pullback has unfolded without heavy distribution, which keeps the bearish signal from being decisive but does not yet confirm a full flush of selling.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a clear pullback from the July peak near 110.16. Price is below the SMA20 and SMA50, the MACD has turned negative, and RSI has cooled from overbought to 41.58. The SMA200 at 95.74 remains well below price and is the primary long-term support. The 20-day low at 98.52 and the 60-day low at 96.47 are the first support zones to watch. A close back above the SMA20 near 104.46 would suggest the correction is ending, while a sustained break below 96.47 would open the door to a deeper retracement.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed but structurally constructive. Price at 100.08 is just below the SMA20 (101.89) and comfortably above the SMA50 (94.16) and SMA200 (78.33). The weekly moving averages remain in a bullish ascending order, with the SMA50 well above the SMA200. The recent decline has pulled price under the SMA20 but has not broken the longer-term structure.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 49.91 sits essentially at the midpoint after cooling from the mid-60s in July. The MACD line at 2.95 has crossed below the signal line at 3.29, and the histogram turned negative at -0.34. This is the first weekly bearish crossover in the recent advance and a warning that weekly momentum is fading.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 4.26 (4.26% of price) reflects wider weekly swings. Bollinger Bands run from 95.03 to 108.75 around a middle band of 101.89. Price has pulled back from the upper band toward the middle band as the range compresses.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 7,452,800 is about 129% of the 20-week average of 5,772,440. The higher participation during the down week is consistent with profit taking after the run toward 110.16 in July.

Assessment

The weekly chart is transitioning from a strong uptrend into a consolidation or shallow correction. Price is above the SMA50 and SMA200, which keeps the long-term bias positive, but the close below the SMA20, the bearish MACD crossover, and the neutral RSI all point to fading momentum. The 20-week low at 95.04 and the SMA50 near 94.16 form a support cluster. A weekly close back above the SMA20 near 101.89 would restore the bullish bias, while a break below the 95 zone would raise the risk of a deeper correction toward the SMA200.
