Bottom line
ROST Technical Analysis Summary
ROST (Ross Stores) is in a strong uptrend across both timeframes. Daily price at 251.06 sits above SMA20 (236.43), SMA50 (230.62), and SMA200 (202.83), near the 52-week high of 257.00 reached in early August. The latest daily bar closed 0.73% lower as the stock consolidates just under that high. Daily RSI14 at 67.88 is approaching overbought, and the daily MACD is positive with the line at 7.62 above the signal at 5.75, confirming bullish momentum. The weekly picture is equally constructive with price at 251.07 above SMA20 (226.16), SMA50 (194.21), and SMA200 (143.34), and weekly RSI at 68.46. The weekly MACD histogram is marginally negative at -0.19, reflecting a mild pause after the advance. Key resistance is at 257.00 (20/60-day and 52-week high) and 255.30 (20/60-week high). Key support stands at 236.43 (SMA20), 213.26 (20-day low), and 205.92 (60-day low and 20-week low). A sustained close above 257.00 would signal a breakout continuation; a break below 236.43 would suggest short-term momentum loss.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 251.06 is above SMA20 (236.43), SMA50 (230.62), and SMA200 (202.83), with all major moving averages rising in bullish alignment. The stock is trading near the upper end of its range after reaching a 52-week high of 257.00 in the first days of August, and the pullback from that high remains shallow.
- Momentum
- Positive but approaching overbought. RSI14 at 67.88 is above the neutral midpoint and moving toward the 70 overbought threshold. MACD at 7.62 sits above the signal line at 5.75 with a positive histogram at 1.86, confirming the current bullish impulse while leaving limited room for a continued push without a pause.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.54 (2.21% of price) reflects typical daily ranges for a stock at this level. Bollinger Bands (212.19 to 260.67) show price at 251.06 in the upper portion of the band, consistent with a strong but extended move.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Latest volume of 2,130,235 is 0.95x the 20-period average (2,245,922). The advance toward the 52-week high has not been accompanied by unusually heavy volume, which is normal during the final leg of an uptrend but limits confirmation of a breakout.
Assessment
The daily timeframe is clearly bullish. Price above all major moving averages with positive MACD and rising RSI supports the uptrend. The main caution is that RSI near 68 and price near the upper Bollinger band indicate the move is extended, so short-term pullbacks toward SMA20 at 236.43 would be consistent with a healthy trend rather than a reversal.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 251.07 is above SMA20 (226.16), SMA50 (194.21), and SMA200 (143.34). All major weekly moving averages are rising with strong bullish alignment, and the SMA200 is sloping steadily upward, confirming the structural uptrend.
- Momentum
- Positive. RSI14 at 68.46 is above the neutral midpoint and approaching overbought territory. MACD at 11.73 is marginally below the signal at 11.91 with a slightly negative histogram at -0.19, reflecting a brief consolidation after the recent rally rather than a breakdown.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 12.82 (5.11% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (204.94 to 247.38) show price at 251.07 trading above the upper band, indicating the strength of the current advance and a technically extended condition.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 12,572,400 is 0.93x the 20-week average (13,548,160), indicating balanced participation during the latest completed week.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms a strong structural uptrend. Price above all major moving averages, rising momentum, and a positive long-term SMA alignment all support the bullish case. RSI near 68 and price above the upper Bollinger band suggest the move is extended, but the primary trend remains up until price loses the SMA20 at 226.16.

Scenarios
ROST Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
A sustained daily close above the 52-week high at 257.00, ideally on volume above the 20-day average, would confirm a breakout continuation of the primary uptrend.
Invalidation
A daily close back below the SMA20 at 236.43 would signal a loss of short-term momentum and pause the breakout scenario.
What to watch
Daily RSI holding above 60 and pushing toward 70; daily MACD histogram expanding; weekly RSI maintaining above 60; volume expanding on up days.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price consolidates between the 20-day low at 213.26 and the recent high at 257.00, digesting the sharp advance from the 205.92 low.

A decisive daily close beyond either boundary on expanding volume.
What to watch
Daily RSI oscillating between 50 and 70; volume near or below the 20-day average; the daily MACD line flattening toward the signal line; weekly MACD histogram staying close to zero.
Bearish
Trigger
A break below the SMA20 at 236.43, followed by the SMA50 at 230.62 and then the 60-day low at 205.92, would suggest a deeper correction.
Invalidation
Price reclaims the SMA20 at 236.43 and holds above it while resuming a sequence of higher lows.
What to watch
Daily RSI falling below 50; the daily MACD histogram turning negative; rising downside volume; weekly MACD histogram becoming more negative.
