Bottom line

RELX Technical Analysis Summary

RELX (RELX PLC) shows a mixed technical picture as of mid-July 2026. The daily chart at 32.55 shows price below both SMA20 (33.62) and SMA50 (33.17), suggesting short-term bearish momentum. The stock is also firmly below SMA200 (37.42), confirming a longer-term downtrend. RSI14 at 50.63 sits exactly at the neutral 50 midline, indicating no clear directional bias on the daily timeframe. The daily MACD shows the MACD line at -0.58 below the signal line at -0.49 with a negative histogram of -0.09 — a mildly bearish configuration. On the weekly chart, the downtrend is more pronounced with price below all key SMAs. Weekly RSI at 46.81 remains below the 50 midline, reflecting persistent bearish momentum. Key resistance lies at SMA20 (33.62) and SMA50 (33.17). A break above these would be the first step toward trend improvement. Major resistance sits at SMA200 (37.42). Support rests at 32.10 (20-day low) and approximately 31.70 (recent swing low). The stock is trading near the lower end of its 52-week range.

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

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 32.55 is below SMA20 (33.62, -3.18%), SMA50 (33.17, -1.87%), and SMA200 (37.42, -13.01%). All three SMAs are sloping downward, with SMA20 showing the steepest decline. The sequential structure of SMA20 below SMA50 below SMA200 confirms a bearish alignment.
Momentum
Neutral with slightly bearish bias. RSI14 at 50.63 is at the exact 50 midline, reflecting an absence of clear directional momentum. MACD line at -0.58 is below the signal line at -0.49, and the histogram at -0.09 is negative but narrowing — suggesting bearish momentum is fading but has not yet turned positive.
Volatility
Below average. ATR14 at 0.68 (2.09% of price) suggests relatively contained daily swings for a large-cap information services stock. Bollinger Bands (31.26 to 34.68) show price near the middle band, consistent with the lack of strong directional momentum.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 1,890,000 is 69% of the 20-period average (2,740,000), indicating reduced participation in the recent price action.

Assessment

The daily chart reflects a stock in a bearish trend that may be attempting to stabilize. Price has been oscillating in a narrow range between roughly 31.70 and 33.60 over the past several weeks, suggesting a potential base-building phase. However, the lack of volume expansion and the RSI at the midline indicate that the market has not yet committed to a reversal. The key near-term resistance level to watch is SMA20 (33.62), followed by SMA50 (33.17) which are now closely aligned. A decisive break above SMA20 with volume would be the first constructive signal. Conversely, a break below the recent swing low near 31.70 would suggest the consolidation is resolving lower.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 32.55 is below SMA20 (35.89), SMA50 (37.67), and SMA200 (36.82) on the weekly chart. All weekly SMAs are sloping downward. The stock has been in a structural downtrend since peaking above 44.00 in late 2024.
Momentum
Bearish with signs of stabilization. RSI14 at 46.81 is below the 50 midline, indicating bearish momentum. MACD line at -1.12 is below the signal line at -0.98, and the histogram at -0.14 is negative. The negative weekly MACD histogram has been flattening over recent weeks, suggesting that downside momentum may be exhausting.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.23 (3.78% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a large-cap stock with moderate volatility. Bollinger Bands (30.60 to 40.76) are moderately wide with the lower band approaching the current price level.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 11,850,000 is 91% of the 20-week average (13,020,000), indicating relatively typical participation levels.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms the bearish structure that has been in place since the 2024 highs. Price is below all major SMAs, and both momentum indicators are bearish. However, the narrowing of the weekly MACD histogram and the stabilization of price around the 32.00 level over the past 4-6 weeks suggest that the pace of the decline is slowing. The stock is trading near the lower Bollinger Band (30.60), which can sometimes act as a support zone for mean-reverting price action. A weekly close above SMA20 (35.89) would be needed to suggest a meaningful trend change is underway.
