Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 48.52 is above SMA20 (45.45), SMA50 (44.11), and SMA200 (40.84). The moving averages are stacked in ascending order with SMA200 sloping upward, giving the daily chart a clear bullish alignment. Price pulled back from the 20-day high of 51.99 and reclaimed ground above the SMA20 on the latest up day.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 58.65 is above the 50 midline, showing positive momentum without overbought conditions. MACD at 1.14 is above the signal line at 0.99 with a positive histogram of 0.15, confirming the near-term upside bias.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.07 (4.27% of price) reflects normal daily swings. Bollinger Bands (40.26 to 50.64) are moderately wide, and price at 48.52 trades in the upper portion of the bands, consistent with the recent uptrend.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 3,574,189 is 66.8% of the 20-period average (5,351,484), indicating light participation on the latest bounce. Expanding volume would be needed to confirm any move above the recent high.
Assessment
The daily chart is in a bullish trend with price above all key moving averages in ascending order. RSI at 58.65 and a positive MACD histogram support the upside bias. The stock advanced from around 45.00 to a 20-day high of 51.99, then pulled back to roughly 46.88 before bouncing 3.50% on the latest session. The bounce came on below-average volume, so a confirmed break above 51.99 should arrive with higher participation. Support sits at the SMA20 (45.45) and the 20-day low of 41.14; a sustained break below the 20-day low would shift the near-term structure.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 45.97 is above SMA20 (41.90), SMA50 (41.26), and SMA200 (39.49). The weekly moving averages are in a healthy ascending order with SMA200 sloping upward, confirming the longer-term uptrend. The 20-week return of +16.97% reflects the strength of the recent advance.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 56.25 is above the 50 midline. MACD at 1.44 is above the signal line at 0.83 with a positive histogram of 0.61, confirming upward momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 4.09 (8.91% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges after the strong move. Bollinger Bands (35.16 to 48.64) are wide, with price near the upper band, consistent with the uptrend.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 35,654,500 is 133.3% of the 20-week average (26,752,640), showing solid participation during the rally.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe confirms the bullish structure. Price is above all weekly moving averages in ascending order, RSI is above 50, and the MACD histogram is positive. The latest completed week closed at 45.97 after a 5.33% pullback from the recent peak, so the weekly view also reflects profit-taking after the run to 51.99. The 52-week position at 69.77% leaves room toward the 52-week high of 51.99. Elevated ATR is the main caution, as wider swings increase risk.
