Bottom line

RSG Technical Analysis Summary

RSG has turned short-term bearish on the daily chart, with price at 207.66 below all three key SMAs and a negative daily MACD histogram, trading at 29.5% of its 52-week range. The weekly picture is mixed but less negative: price holds above the rising SMA200 at 185.98, and the weekly MACD histogram is positive, indicating that downside pressure is easing. Near-term support sits at 206.01 (20-day low) and 195.84 (60-day low and 52-week low); resistance is at 212 to 213 (SMA50 and SMA200), then 217.18 (SMA20) and 228.22 (20-day and 60-day high). A reclaim of the daily moving averages would improve the short-term outlook, while a break below 195.84 would signal a deeper correction.

Daily (August 4, 2026)

Trend
Mixed with a short-term downside tilt. Price at 207.66 has moved below SMA20 (217.18), SMA50 (212.13), and SMA200 (213.27). The SMA20 remains above the SMA200, so the longer-term moving-average structure has not fully rolled over, but the immediate price position below all three SMAs points to near-term weakness. At 29.5% of its 52-week range, RSG is trading in the lower third of its annual band.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 38.95 is below the neutral 50 mark, indicating weakening momentum that is not yet oversold. MACD at -0.83 sits below the signal line at 0.75 with a negative and widening histogram of -1.59, showing building downside momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 4.80 (2.31% of price) reflects average daily movement of about 2.3%. Price at 207.66 is near the lower Bollinger Band (208.33 to 226.02), a stretched position that can precede a technical bounce but is not itself a reversal signal.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 903,103 is 69.5% of the 20-period average (1,300,250), indicating reduced participation in the recent decline.

Assessment

The daily chart shows RSG under pressure, with price below all key SMAs, a negative MACD, and a position in the lower third of the 52-week range. The 20-day range (206.01 to 228.22) defines the near-term trading band, and price is testing the lower end. A reclaim of the SMA50/SMA200 zone around 212 to 213 would be the first constructive sign, while a break below the 60-day low at 195.84 would extend the correction.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 210.55 is below SMA20 (211.59) and SMA50 (215.62) but remains well above the rising SMA200 (185.98). The long-term structure is intact, while intermediate weakness persists. At 36.7% of its 52-week range, the weekly position sits in the lower-middle of the annual band.
Momentum
Neutral to improving. RSI14 at 47.30 is in neutral territory. MACD at -0.27 is below the signal at -1.39, but the positive histogram at 1.13 shows the gap narrowing, suggesting downside momentum is fading and a bullish crossover may be developing.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 10.09 (4.79% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges for a large-cap waste management stock.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 7,821,100 is 99.8% of the 20-week average (7,832,565), indicating participation in line with recent norms.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a stock in a correction within a longer-term uptrend. Price holds above the rising SMA200 at 185.98, and the positive weekly MACD histogram suggests downward pressure is easing, though the MACD line remains below the signal. A sustained recovery above the SMA20/SMA50 zone around 212 to 216 would firm the intermediate trend, while the SMA200 remains the major structural support.
