Bottom line
RCI Technical Analysis Summary
RCI (Rogers Communications Inc.) trades at 34.54, above the daily SMA20 at 33.84 but still below the SMA50 at 35.19 and the SMA200 at 36.36, so the daily picture is a recovery attempt inside a longer downtrend rather than a confirmed new uptrend. Daily RSI14 at 53.35 has recovered above the 50 midline, and the MACD histogram at 0.17 is positive with the MACD line at -0.12 above its signal at -0.29, which points to improving short-term momentum after a 20-session gain of about 5.1%. The catch is that the latest session traded at only about 0.47 times its 20-session average volume, so the bounce is running on light participation. The weekly chart is weaker: price at 33.85 sits below the weekly SMA20 (35.38), SMA50 (36.11), and SMA200 (35.91), with weekly RSI at 46.11 and a negative MACD histogram at -0.39, so the medium-term structure has not turned. Immediate resistance is the 20-period high at 35.48 and the SMA50 at 35.19, then the SMA200 at 36.36. Support sits at the SMA20 at 33.84, then the 20-period low at 32.26 and the 60-period and 52-week low at 31.38.

Daily (August 6, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 34.54 is above the SMA20 (33.84) but below the SMA50 (35.19) and the SMA200 (36.36). The moving averages are still in a bearish order with the SMA20 below the SMA50 and the SMA200, reflecting the longer decline, while price reclaiming the SMA20 shows the short-term recovery. The bounce off the 32.26 20-period low has taken price back above the fastest average, but the medium-term averages still slope down.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 53.35 has climbed back above the 50 midline, a neutral-to-positive reading after the weak conditions seen earlier in the selloff. The MACD line at -0.12 is above the signal line at -0.29 with a positive histogram at 0.17, a bullish crossover configuration that is still developing below the zero line. Momentum favors the recovery in the near term but has not yet signaled a broad trend change.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.86 equals 2.50% of price, a typical daily range for a large-cap telecom. Bollinger Bands run from 32.32 to 35.36, and the close at 34.54 sits in the upper half of the envelope after rising off the lower band during the recent bounce.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 715,315 is about 0.47 times the 20-session average of 1,537,136, showing light participation on the latest session. The recent bounce has unfolded on below-average volume, which is a caution against reading too much into the price recovery.
Assessment
The daily chart is a recovery attempt rather than a confirmed reversal. Price has climbed from the 32.26 low and reclaimed the SMA20, with RSI back above 50 and a positive MACD histogram, all consistent with a short-term bounce. However, price remains below the SMA50 and SMA200, the moving averages are still in a bearish order, and the bounce has run on light volume. The constructive case needs a close above the 35.48 20-period high with better participation to shift the picture. A loss of the SMA20 at 33.84 would put the 32.26 20-period low back in focus.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 33.85 is below the weekly SMA20 (35.38), SMA50 (36.11), and SMA200 (35.91). The weekly series ends the week of July 27, 2026, before the daily price reached 34.54. The weekly SMA20 has crossed below the SMA50, a bearish configuration, and price beneath all three averages reflects the sustained decline from the 40.49 52-week high.
- Momentum
- Bearish. Weekly RSI14 at 46.11 is below the 50 midline, indicating momentum remains on the downside at the weekly horizon. The MACD line at -0.62 is below the signal line at -0.23 with a negative histogram at -0.39. Unlike the daily chart, the weekly MACD has not turned up, so the longer-term momentum is still pointing down.
- Volatility
- Moderate. Weekly ATR14 at 2.31 equals 6.82% of price. Bollinger Bands run from 31.15 to 39.62. The weekly close sits in the lower half of the envelope, consistent with the weaker weekly position.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest weekly volume of 9,487,900 is about 1.45 times the 20-week average of 6,560,270, showing elevated participation in the most recent completed week.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the medium-term downtrend is intact. Price remains below all three weekly moving averages, RSI is below 50, and the MACD histogram is negative, so the weekly structure has not yet turned in favor of the bulls. The 20-week low at 31.38 and the 60-week low at 25.55 define the downside reference, while the 20-week high at 39.32 and the 52-week high at 40.49 cap the upside. A weekly close above the SMA20 at 35.38 would be an early sign of stabilization, but the weekly picture currently favors a range-bound to bearish reading until the recovery proves itself on the weekly chart.

Scenarios
RCI Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
Price breaks and holds above the daily 20-period high at 35.48 with improving volume, which would also clear the SMA50 at 35.19 and set up a run at the SMA200 at 36.36. Confirmation would need participation to expand from the light recent volumes.
Invalidation
A close back below the SMA20 at 33.84, which would signal the bounce has stalled.
What to watch
Daily RSI holding above 50; the MACD histogram continuing to expand; volume picking up on up days; price holding above the SMA20 on pullbacks; weekly price approaching the weekly SMA20 at 35.38.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price continues to oscillate between support near the 20-period low at 32.26 and resistance near the SMA50 at 35.19 and the 20-period high at 35.48, with momentum alternating and no decisive break.
Invalidation
A decisive break above 35.48 or below 32.26 on above-average volume.
What to watch
RSI staying between 40 and 60; the MACD histogram hovering near zero; volume staying below average; the weekly chart staying below its SMA20 at 35.38.
Bearish
Trigger
The recovery fails, price closes below the SMA20 at 33.84 and then breaks the 20-period low at 32.26, opening the path toward the 60-period and 52-week low at 31.38, and eventually the weekly 60-period low at 25.55 in a broader decline.
Invalidation
Price establishes a higher low above 32.26 and reclaims the SMA20 at 33.84 with conviction.
What to watch
Daily RSI slipping back below 50; the MACD histogram turning negative; volume rising on down days; price failing to hold above the SMA20; the weekly MACD staying negative.
