Bottom line
STE Technical Analysis Summary
STE (STERIS plc) shows a bearish technical picture in the medium term but with early signs of a potential bottoming process. The daily timeframe shows price at 208.73 below SMA50 (211.50) and SMA200 (236.19), confirming a downtrend from the 269.44 52-week high. RSI14 at 46.48 on the daily and 45.98 on the weekly sit in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. The daily MACD is negative with the line at -0.33 below the signal at 0.46, but the weekly MACD shows a narrowing histogram with the MACD line at -8.30 converging toward the signal at -9.16, suggesting bearish momentum may be exhausting. Key resistance sits at 217.05 (previous close and 20-day high area) and 219.80 (60-day high), while support is at 195.14 (52-week low). A sustained move above 219.80 would challenge the bearish outlook; a break below 195.14 would open further downside.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish in the medium term. Price at 208.73 is below SMA50 (211.50) and well below SMA200 (236.19). The stock has declined from the 269.44 52-week high and is trading near the lower end of its recent range. Price is above SMA20 (208.73 implied from Finviz SMA20 change of -0.65%), suggesting near-term stability.
- Momentum
- Neutral to slightly bearish. RSI14 at 46.48 is below the 50 midline, indicating mild bearish momentum without extreme conditions. MACD line at -0.33 is below the signal line at 0.46, and the negative histogram at -0.79 is contracting, which could signal diminishing downside momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.77 (2.76% of price) suggests average daily movement of about $5.77. Bollinger Bands are narrowing, which often precedes a period of expansion. Price near the lower band suggests persistent selling pressure.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 882,148 is 107.7% of the 20-period average (818,530), indicating normal to slightly elevated participation.
Assessment
The daily timeframe shows a stock in a downtrend from its 52-week high, but the pace of decline has moderated. Price is attempting to stabilize above the 200 area after the sharp selloff from 217.05 level on July 14. The contracting MACD histogram and RSI near 46 suggest bearish momentum is fading. A close above 217 would be the first bullish signal, while a break below 207.68 (daily low) would point to further weakness.
Weekly (July 13, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 217.05 (week ending July 13) is below SMA20 (217.13) and well below SMA50. The weekly chart shows a clear downtrend from the early 2026 highs near the 269 level, with lower highs and lower lows since January 2026.
- Momentum
- Bearish but improving. Weekly RSI14 at 45.98 is below 50 but not deeply oversold. Weekly MACD at -8.30 is negative but the histogram at 0.86 is positive with the MACD line converging toward the signal line at -9.16, suggesting bearish momentum may be slowing.
- Volatility
- Elevated. Weekly ATR14 at 14.19 (6.54% of price) reflects the substantial weekly swings during the recent decline from the 260s to the 200 area.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 1,408,157 is 37.0% of the 20-week average (3,804,605), indicating reduced participation during the recent stabilization phase.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms the bearish trend that has been in place since January 2026. However, the weekly MACD histogram turning positive and the convergence of the MACD line toward the signal line are early technical developments worth monitoring. The stock has lost -22.53% from its 52-week high and is now at a 26.08% 52-week position, indicating it is in the lower portion of its yearly range. A decisive weekly close above 230 would be needed to suggest a trend reversal. The stock is at the 29.49% position in its 52-week range, near the lower third of the yearly range.
