Bottom line

SPGI Technical Analysis Summary

SPGI technical analysis shows a corrective phase. On the daily chart, price at 412.53 sits just above the SMA50 at 411.67 but below the SMA20 at 430.91 and the SMA200 at 432.95, while the MACD histogram at -4.10 confirms near-term downside momentum. RSI at 45.03 is neutral, so the sell-off is not oversold and does not automatically imply a rebound. The stock is down 6.97% over the past 20 sessions and trades in the lower part of its 20-day range between 404.54 and 462.02. On the weekly chart, the MACD has delivered a bullish crossover with a positive and rising histogram at 5.87, but price at 411.93 remains below the SMA50 at 442.18, keeping the intermediate trend mixed. Key resistance is at 430.91 (SMA20) and 432.95 (SMA200), with the 20/60 period high at 462.02 beyond. Support sits at 411.67 (SMA50), then 404.54 (20-period low) and 371.84 (60-period low). A daily close below 411.67 would turn the bias bearish, while a reclaim of the SMA20 would begin to repair the daily chart.

Daily (August 4, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 412.53 is below the SMA20 at 430.91 and the SMA200 at 432.95 but above the SMA50 at 411.67. The SMA20 is above the SMA50, which is a short-term bullish alignment, but price has slipped under both the 20-day and 200-day averages, so the daily picture is not constructive until the 430 to 433 zone is reclaimed.
Momentum
Neutral to soft. RSI14 at 45.03 is below the 50 midpoint, reflecting fading momentum. MACD at 0.22 sits just above zero but below the signal at 4.33, and the histogram at -4.10 is negative, indicating near-term downside momentum. The setup favors the bears until the histogram turns positive.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 13.12 (3.18% of price) implies an average daily range of about 3.2%. Bollinger Bands span 405.38 to 456.45, and price at 412.53 is below the middle band at 430.91, consistent with a pullback phase.
Volume
Below average. The latest volume of 1,504,650 is 77.2% of the 20-period average of 1,949,583, indicating lighter participation during the recent pullback.

Assessment

The daily chart favors the sellers short term. Price is below the SMA20 and SMA200, the MACD histogram is negative, and the stock sits in the lower part of its 20-day range. RSI at 45.03 still has room to fall before reaching oversold, so a drop toward the 20-period low at 404.54 is plausible if the SMA50 at 411.67 fails. A move back above the SMA20 at 430.91 would be the first sign that the pullback is ending.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 411.93 is above the SMA20 at 406.00 but below the SMA200 at 412.83 and the SMA50 at 442.18. The SMA50 is well above the SMA200, so the intermediate trend remains bearish until price works back toward the 430 to 442 zone.
Momentum
Improving. RSI14 at 47.79 is neutral and recovering from the oversold area seen earlier this year. MACD at -3.97 is still below zero but above the signal at -9.84, and the histogram at 5.87 is positive and rising, consistent with a developing bullish crossover. The improvement is early because the MACD line has not yet crossed above zero.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 28.82 (7.00% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with the sharp swings of the past year. Weekly Bollinger Bands span 369.01 to 442.99.
Volume
Above average. The latest weekly volume of 15,559,300 is 145.8% of the 20-week average of 10,670,847, showing active participation in the most recent weekly decline.

Assessment

The weekly chart offers a more constructive momentum read than the daily. The MACD bullish crossover with a positive rising histogram suggests selling pressure from the earlier decline is easing, and price has reclaimed the SMA20 at 406.00. However, price at 411.93 sits just below the SMA200 at 412.83 and well below the SMA50 at 442.18, so the intermediate trend has not turned. A weekly close above the 413 to 430 zone would strengthen the recovery case, while a break below 406 would put the 60-week low at 359.36 back in play.
