Bottom line
QSR Technical Analysis Summary
QSR (Restaurant Brands International) shows a bullish price structure on the daily chart as of early August 2026. The stock at 74.49 is trading above SMA20 (74.35), SMA50 (73.57), and SMA200 (71.29), with the three moving averages in a bullish alignment. However, momentum is flattening: daily RSI14 at 51.84 sits near the 50 midline, and the daily MACD histogram has turned slightly negative at -0.03 even though the MACD line remains above zero. The weekly chart is mixed, with price above SMA50 (69.92) and SMA200 (65.14) but below SMA20 (75.01). Key resistance sits at the 20-day high of 77.92 and the 60-day high of 79.19, with the 52-week high at 81.22. Support lies at the 20-day low of 71.88 and SMA200 at 71.29, with the 60-day low of 70.35 below. A sustained close above 77.92 would strengthen the bullish case, while a close below 71.88 would shift the near-term outlook to neutral.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 74.49 is above SMA20 (74.35, +0.19%), SMA50 (73.57, +1.25%), and SMA200 (71.29, +4.49%). SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 are stacked in a bullish alignment, with SMA50 above SMA200. The stock has been in an uptrend over the recent period.
- Momentum
- Neutral with a mild cooling bias. RSI14 at 51.84 is close to the 50 midline and gives no extreme reading. MACD line at 0.02 is above zero but below the signal line at 0.05, and the histogram at -0.03 is slightly negative, indicating the recent advance has lost some momentum while the MACD position remains positive.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.68 (2.26% of price) indicates an average daily move of roughly 2%. Bollinger Bands range from 72.15 to 76.55, and price at 74.49 is trading near the middle of the bands, consistent with neutral volatility conditions.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 2,523,400 is 108% of the 20-period average (2,341,420), indicating slightly higher participation. No unusually heavy volume accompanies the recent pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a bullish setup with price above all three key moving averages and a bullish SMA alignment. RSI14 at 51.84 is neutral, while the slightly negative MACD histogram shows momentum is cooling. Price sits near the middle of the Bollinger Bands. The 52-week position of about 70% places QSR in the upper half of its annual range. The near-term trend stays bullish while price holds above the 20-day low of 71.88 and SMA200 at 71.29.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 74.02 is below SMA20 (75.01) but above SMA50 (69.92) and SMA200 (65.14). SMA20 remains above SMA50 and SMA200, but price has slipped below the 20-week average. The longer-term structure improved as price reclaimed the 50-week and 200-week averages.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 52.32 is at the midline, indicating no strong directional conviction. MACD line at 1.00 is above zero but below its signal at 1.50, with a negative histogram of -0.50, showing the weekly uptrend momentum is fading while the overall MACD position stays positive.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 3.61 (4.88% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a large-cap restaurant franchisor. Bollinger Bands range from 70.23 to 79.79, and price at 74.02 is below the middle band at 75.01.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 11,381,200 is 70% of the 20-week average (16,183,915), indicating lighter participation during the latest week.
Assessment
The weekly chart is mixed. Price is above the 50-week and 200-week averages but below the 20-week average, and the longer-term structure has improved. Weekly RSI14 at 52.32 is neutral, and the negative MACD histogram shows the uptrend momentum is fading. The 52-week position of about 67% is consistent with the daily view. QSR remains in a wide multi-month range between the 60-week low near 59.14 and the 52-week high near 81.22, with price currently in the upper half.
