Bottom line
SATS Technical Analysis Summary
SATS (EchoStar) shows a mixed technical picture with short-term momentum improving against a longer-term downtrend. On the daily chart, price at 43.62 has reclaimed SMA20 (42.15) but remains below SMA50 (44.80) and SMA200 (48.32), indicating the broader trend is still bearish. RSI14 at 54.82 sits above the 50 midline, showing modest bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The daily MACD has generated a bullish crossover with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, and the histogram at 0.35 is positive. The weekly timeframe remains in a downtrend with price below all key SMAs, though RSI at 48.35 has approached the 50 midline. Key resistance lies at SMA50 (44.80) and the 60-day high (47.52). Support rests at 40.18 (20-day low) and 37.25 (52-week low). A sustained move above SMA200 (48.32) would be needed to shift the longer-term trend from bearish to neutral.

Daily (July 17, 2026)
- Trend
- Improving but mixed. Price at 43.62 is above SMA20 (42.15, +3.49%) but below SMA50 (44.80, -2.63%) and SMA200 (48.32, -9.73%). SMA20 is sloping upward while SMA50 and SMA200 continue to decline, creating a mixed alignment. The stock has formed a potential short-term base between 40 and 43 after the decline from 52-week highs.
- Momentum
- Moderately bullish. RSI14 at 54.82 is above the 50 midline, indicating mildly bullish momentum. MACD line at -0.05 has crossed above the signal line at -0.40, generating a bullish crossover signal. The histogram at 0.35 is positive and expanding, suggesting improving short-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.58 (3.62% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 3.6%. Bollinger Bands (39.76 to 45.50) show price near the upper band, consistent with the recent move higher. Band width is moderate, indicating normal volatility conditions for this stock.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 1,285,600 is 67% of the 20-period average (1,918,800), indicating reduced participation in the recent bounce. The rally lacks strong volume confirmation, which warrants caution.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a positive development as SATS has reclaimed SMA20 after trading below it. The bullish MACD crossover is a technically meaningful near-term signal. However, the stock remains in a longer-term downtrend with SMA200 still declining and price well below it. Volume has been below average during the rally, reducing conviction. The 52-week position at 30.5% reflects the stock is in the lower half of its annual range. A move above SMA200 (48.32) would be needed for a meaningful trend change signal.
Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish with signs of stabilization. Price at 43.18 is below SMA20 (45.61), SMA50 (48.93), and SMA200 (52.15). All three major SMAs are sloping downward, confirming the structural downtrend. The stock has been declining from 2024 highs above 55.
- Momentum
- Neutral to bearish. RSI14 at 48.35 is just below the 50 midline, indicating a neutral momentum bias tilted slightly bearish. MACD line at -0.92 remains below the signal line at -1.08, but the gap is narrowing. The histogram at 0.16 is positive, suggesting bearish momentum is fading at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- Moderate to high. ATR14 at 2.10 (4.86% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a mid-cap satellite communications stock. Bollinger Bands (39.92 to 51.35) are moderately wide.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 9,084,200 is 91% of the 20-week average (9,982,800), indicating participation levels are typical.
Assessment
The weekly chart still reflects a bearish structure with price below all major SMAs and all SMAs sloping downward. However, the narrowing MACD gap and positive weekly histogram suggest the pace of decline is slowing. The RSI approaching the 50 midline is a modest improvement from oversold levels. A weekly close above SMA20 (45.61) would be the first step toward trend stabilization. The current setup is less bearish than it was months ago, but a confirmed trend reversal is not yet in place.
