Bottom line

STX Technical Analysis Summary

STX technical analysis shows price consolidating just below the 20-day average after a sharp five-session rebound inside a powerful longer-term uptrend. The daily chart closed at 837.66 on the latest completed bar, down 0.91% on the session and slipping back below SMA20 (840.94), with RSI at 48.49 and a positive MACD histogram of 2.10, while SMA50 (892.90) remains the main overhead resistance. The weekly chart stays strongly bullish with price at 856.13 above SMA20 (741.12), SMA50 (468.03), and SMA200 (178.11), though the negative weekly MACD histogram and the 4.86% five-week decline show momentum cooling after a massive advance. Price is up 445.56% over 252 daily sessions and 1067.84% over 252 weeks. Key support is the 20-day and 60-day low zone at 694.64 to 698.99, with the 20-week low at 351.17 further below. Resistance sits at SMA50 (892.90), the 20-day high at 937.54, and the 52-week high at 1144.18. A daily close above SMA50 would signal the recovery is extending; losing 694.64 could reopen a deeper correction.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 837.66 is below SMA20 (840.94) and SMA50 (892.90) but well above SMA200 (526.86). The rebound pulled back below the short-term average on the latest session, leaving price consolidating inside the longer-term uptrend.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 48.49 sits just below the 50 midline. MACD at -14.22 is above the signal line at -16.32 with a positive histogram of 2.10, showing downside momentum fading and short-term momentum turning up even though the MACD line remains below zero.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 77.34 (9.23% of price) reflects wide daily swings. Bollinger Bands (740.21 to 941.68) are wide with price at 837.66 below the middle band at 840.94 after a violent pullback and rebound.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 4,216,300 is 75.7% of the 20-period average (5,570,430), indicating the latest pullback ran on lighter participation.

Assessment

The daily chart is consolidating after a sharp recovery from a deep pullback within a powerful uptrend. Price closed at 837.66, down 0.91%, slipping back below SMA20 at 840.94, and sits 69.37% of the way through its 52-week range with RSI near neutral at 48.49 and a positive MACD histogram. The first key resistance is SMA50 at 892.90, then the 20-day high at 937.54. Key support is the 20-day and 60-day low zone at 694.64 to 698.99, with SMA200 at 526.86 far below. A daily close back above SMA20 and then SMA50 would signal the recovery is extending.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 856.13 is above SMA20 (741.12), SMA50 (468.03), and SMA200 (178.11), with the longer-term averages strongly upward sloping. The deep pullback has not broken any major weekly average, keeping the multi-year uptrend intact.
Momentum
Neutral to bullish. RSI14 at 60.81 reflects solid but not extreme momentum. MACD at 127.50 is below the signal line at 138.87 with a negative histogram of -11.37, showing momentum cooled after a massive advance even though the MACD line remains strongly positive.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 126.34 (14.76% of price) reflects very wide weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (359.72 to 1122.51) are extremely wide with price above the middle band at 741.12, consistent with a high-volatility uptrend.
Volume
Well above average. Latest weekly volume of 36,368,800 is 167.8% of the 20-week average (21,672,360), indicating heavy participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart remains in a strong multi-year uptrend. Price is well above all major averages at 71.21% of its 52-week range, and the 20-week and 60-week high at 1144.18 marks the upper reference. The negative MACD histogram and the 4.86% five-week decline reflect the recent pullback, but RSI at 60.81 is still constructive. Key trend support is the 20-week low at 351.17, with the 60-week low at 122.96 further below. As long as price holds above the major averages, the long-term uptrend stays intact.
