Bottom line
RCI Technical Analysis Summary
RCI (Rogers Communications) is in a downtrend across both daily and weekly timeframes. On the daily chart, price at 32.48 sits well below SMA20 (34.12), SMA50 (35.28), and SMA200 (37.02), confirming a bearish structure. RSI14 at 32.12 is in oversold territory, which can sometimes precede a bounce but also reflects sustained selling pressure. The daily MACD lines are below zero with a negative histogram at -0.31, indicating bearish momentum remains intact. The weekly timeframe confirms the longer-term weakness with price below all major SMAs and RSI at 38.45, still in bearish territory. Key resistance lies at SMA20 (34.12) and SMA50 (35.28). Support rests at 31.00 (recent swing low) and 29.50 (prior support zone from late 2025). A sustained move above SMA20 would be the first step toward stabilization, but the broader trend remains bearish until price reclaims SMA200.

Daily (July 17, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 32.48 is below SMA20 (34.12, -4.81%), SMA50 (35.28, -7.94%), and SMA200 (37.02, -12.26%). All three major SMAs are sloping downward, with the shorter-term averages below the longer-term ones, confirming a well-established downtrend. The price has been making lower highs since the March 2026 peak near 40.50.
- Momentum
- Bearish and oversold. RSI14 at 32.12 is below the 30 oversold threshold, reflecting sustained selling pressure. MACD line at -0.55 is below the signal line at -0.24, and the histogram at -0.31 continues to print negative bars. Momentum indicators align with the bearish trend and show no signs of a bullish crossover developing yet.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 0.85 (2.62% of price) suggests average daily moves of about 2.6%. Bollinger Bands (30.56 to 35.40) are relatively wide, with price hugging the lower band, consistent with a strong downtrend. Band width has expanded, reflecting increased volatility during the selloff.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 1,420,000 is 112.4% of the 20-period average (1,263,500), indicating elevated participation during the decline. Above-average volume on down days confirms institutional distribution patterns.
Assessment
The daily chart paints a clearly bearish picture. RCI has been in a sustained decline since early 2026, with price breaking below key moving averages in sequence. The oversold RSI reading suggests the selling may be overextended in the short term, but oversold conditions alone are not reliable reversal signals — especially in a telecom stock that can remain weak for extended periods. The bearish MACD configuration with no crossover development argues against calling a bottom. The 52-week position at approximately 22% reflects the stock trading deep in the lower portion of its annual range. A bullish catalyst or volume-supported reversal above SMA20 (34.12) would be needed before considering a trend change.
Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 32.48 is below SMA20 (35.80), SMA50 (37.15), and SMA200 (36.80). The SMA20 has crossed below SMA50, forming a bearish moving average configuration. The weekly chart shows a persistent downtrend from the mid-2024 highs above 50.00, with each rally attempt failing at lower highs.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 38.45 remains below the 50 midline, indicating bearish momentum prevails. MACD line at -0.72 is well below the signal line at -0.35 with a negative histogram of -0.37. No convergence or crossover is developing, suggesting the bearish momentum on the weekly timeframe still has room to play out.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.52 (4.68% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a large-cap telecom. Bollinger Bands (29.80 to 40.00) are widening, and price is trending along the lower band, consistent with a sustained downtrend.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 6,850,000 is 98.2% of the 20-week average (6,975,000), indicating typical participation levels with no signs of panic selling or climactic volume.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the structural downtrend. RCI has been making lower highs since mid-2024, and the current decline from the 40.50 area in March 2026 is the latest leg lower. The MACD on the weekly timeframe remains deeply negative with no emerging crossover. RSI at 38.45 has room before reaching oversold territory (below 30), suggesting further downside potential. The stock is trading near the lower Bollinger Band, which can sometimes act as support, but in a strong downtrend, bands can slope downward and price can ride them lower. The weekly structure argues against trying to catch a falling knife.
