Bottom line

SATS Technical Analysis Summary

SATS (EchoStar) is in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend after a large rally. On the daily chart, price at 87.73 trades below SMA20 (90.50), SMA50 (103.62), and SMA200 (105.92), and all three moving averages are sloping downward, giving a bearish daily structure. RSI14 at 41.50 sits below the 50 midline, showing weak momentum without oversold conditions. The daily MACD line (-4.63) has crossed above the signal line (-5.37) with a positive histogram (0.74), a modest near-term improvement even though both lines remain in negative territory. The weekly chart shows a deeper pullback, with price at 84.09 well below SMA20 (113.61) and SMA50 (99.33) but still above SMA200 (39.44), and weekly RSI at 36.74. Key support is at 82.48 (the recent 20-period low). Resistance sits at SMA20 (90.50) and the 20-day high (98.99). A sustained close below 82.48 would signal a deeper correction, while reclaiming SMA50 would be needed to restore a constructive medium-term trend.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 87.73 is below SMA20 (90.50, -3.06%), SMA50 (103.62, -15.33%), and SMA200 (105.92, -17.17%). All three major moving averages are sloping downward, confirming a bearish near-term structure. Price is in a pullback from the 52-week high of 147.25, having fallen sharply over the past two months.
Momentum
Weak. RSI14 at 41.50 is below the 50 midline, indicating weak momentum that is not yet oversold. The MACD line at -4.63 has crossed above the signal line at -5.37, and the histogram is positive at 0.74, a modest short-term improvement, though both MACD lines remain deeply negative.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 5.11 (5.83% of price) reflects elevated daily ranges consistent with the recent sell-off. Bollinger Bands (82.14 to 98.85) are wide, and price at 87.73 sits in the lower half of the bands, near the recent support zone.
Volume
Near average. Latest volume of 5,245,600 is about 95% of the 20-period average (5,539,515), indicating participation is broadly normal during the pullback without a clear accumulation or distribution signal.

Assessment

The daily chart is bearish in structure with price below all key moving averages and all of them declining. The positive MACD histogram is a small near-term improvement, but RSI below 50 and price sitting in the lower half of the Bollinger Bands suggest downside pressure remains. The stock is trading near the middle of its 52-week range (50.9%), having fallen from the July peak above 147 to the low 80s. A close below 82.48 would extend the correction, while a reclaim of SMA20 (90.50) would be the first constructive signal.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Corrective within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 84.09 is below SMA20 (113.61) and SMA50 (99.33) but well above SMA200 (39.44). The weekly SMA20 and SMA50 are declining, reflecting the current pullback, while SMA200 remains far below price after the large multi-year advance.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 36.74 is below the 50 midline and approaching oversold territory. The MACD line at -3.20 is below the signal line at +2.61, with a negative histogram of -5.81, showing deteriorating weekly momentum.
Volatility
Very high. ATR14 at 12.65 (15.04% of price) reflects extremely wide weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (82.61 to 144.62) are very wide, consistent with the volatility of the recent advance and pullback.
Volume
Below average. Latest weekly volume of 28,637,800 is about 74% of the 20-week average (38,669,810), suggesting the pullback is happening on reduced participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a stock in a sharp correction after a major rally. Price has lost the 20-week and 50-week moving averages, and weekly momentum is clearly negative with RSI at 36.74 and a negative MACD histogram. The structure is still above the 200-week average, so the longer-term trend has not turned down, but the pullback has been deep and could extend. The key level to defend is the recent weekly low zone around 82.48; below that, the correction could target lower supports.
