Bottom line
SHW Technical Analysis Summary
SHW technical analysis at the August 4, 2026 cutoff shows a constructive daily picture and a recovering weekly picture. The 361.57 daily close is above SMA20 (333.64), SMA50 (325.24), and SMA200 (331.75), and the completed weekly close of 340.85 is above all three weekly averages as well. Daily RSI14 at 64.44 is strong but below the 70 overbought threshold, and the daily MACD histogram is positive and expanding at 2.97. The stock sits at about 82% of its 52-week range after reclaiming ground from mid-July lows. Near-term resistance is the 364.49 daily high, with the 376.95 52-week high beyond it. Support is the daily SMA20 at 333.64, then the SMA50 at 325.24 and the 301.10 20-day low. Volume on the latest daily gain was below the 20-session average, so confirmation on higher participation would strengthen the setup. A close above 364.49 would open the path toward 376.95, while a close back below 333.64 would signal a failed breakout.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Constructive with mixed alignment. The August 4 close at 361.57 is above SMA20 (333.64), SMA50 (325.24), and SMA200 (331.75), reclaiming every major average after a pullback. The averages are not in clean bullish order because SMA200 sits between SMA20 and SMA50, but price action has turned decisively upward.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 64.44 is below the 70 overbought threshold and pointing higher. MACD is 6.24 versus a 3.27 signal, with a positive 2.97 histogram that is expanding, indicating strengthening bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 is 10.90, or 3.01% of price. Bollinger Bands span 307.74 to 359.53, and the close at 361.57 is above the upper band, reflecting a short-term extension after the move up from lower levels.
- Volume
- Below average. August 4 volume was 1,803,248 shares, or 86.5% of the 20-session average of 2,084,437. The rally came on lighter-than-average participation, so follow-through on higher volume would be more convincing.
Assessment
The daily timeframe has turned constructive. Price is above SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200, RSI is strong but not overbought, and the MACD histogram is positive and expanding. The close above the upper Bollinger Band shows short-term extension, so some consolidation is possible. Volume was below the 20-session average, making confirmation on higher participation the key follow-up. A close above the 364.49 high would open the path toward the 52-week high at 376.95, while a close back below SMA20 at 333.64 would signal a failed breakout.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Recovering. The completed July 27 week closed at 340.85, above SMA20 (323.01), SMA50 (335.17), and SMA200 (305.03). The averages are not in clean bullish order, with SMA50 above SMA20, but price has climbed back above all three averages and the SMA200 continues to slope upward.
- Momentum
- Improving. RSI14 at 53.92 is back above the neutral 50 level. MACD is -0.49 versus a -2.95 signal, with a positive 2.47 histogram that has been rising, indicating that weekly downside momentum is fading and a bullish crossover is developing.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 is 21.96, or 6.44% of the weekly close. Bollinger Bands span 292.25 to 353.78, with price in the upper half of the band range.
- Volume
- Above average. The July 27 week volume was 13,762,800 shares, or 1.32x the 20-week average of 10,409,530, showing increased participation during the weekly advance.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe shows a recovering picture. Price is back above all three major averages after reclaiming the SMA50 at 335.17, and the positive and rising MACD histogram confirms fading downside momentum. The gain came on above-average volume. Weekly RSI at 53.92 is neutral, leaving room for further upside without being overbought. The main hurdles ahead are the 357.27 20-week high and then the 376.95 52-week high, while the 289.86 60-week low marks the downside reference.
