Bottom line
SW Technical Analysis Summary
SW (Smurfit WestRock) shows a mixed daily picture with price below SMA20 (44.84) but above SMA50 (41.93) and SMA200 (40.46), indicating short-term weakness within a broader uptrend. The weekly chart is more clearly bullish with price above all key moving averages and a positive MACD. RSI14 is at 46.64 daily and 54.80 weekly, reflecting neutral to slightly positive conditions. Key support is at the 20-day low of 41.14 and the 60-day low of 35.53. Resistance is at the 20-day high of 47.86 and 52-week high of 51.63. A close above the SMA20 at 44.84 would confirm near-term improvement; a break below 41.14 would suggest further weakness.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 42.91 is below SMA20 (44.84, -4.30%) but above SMA50 (41.93, +2.34%) and SMA200 (40.46, +6.05%). SMA20 is below SMA50, creating a mixed short-term alignment. SMA200 slopes upward, providing a long-term bullish foundation. The SMA20 resistance at 44.84 caps near-term upside.
- Momentum
- Slightly bearish. RSI14 at 46.64 is below the 50 midline, indicating weak momentum. MACD at 0.35 is below the signal line at 0.86 with a negative histogram of -0.50, confirming bearish short-term momentum. The MACD line remains above zero, so the bearish signal is moderate rather than severe.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.77 (4.12% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 4.1%. Bollinger Bands (41.99 to 47.68) show price near the lower band, reflecting recent selling pressure. Band width is moderate.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 3,844,906 is 61.3% of the 20-period average (6,268,230), indicating reduced participation in the latest session.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a mixed-to-cautious picture. Price is in no-mans-land between SMA20 resistance and SMA50 support. The RSI below 50 and negative MACD histogram suggest lack of near-term buying conviction. Below-average volume confirms reduced participation. A move above SMA20 at 44.84 would signal near-term improvement; a breakdown below the 20-day low at 41.14 would suggest further downside. The upward sloping SMA200 provides a long-term anchor.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 44.23 is above SMA20 (41.37), SMA50 (41.03), and SMA200 (39.18). All three weekly SMAs are in a healthy ascending order. SMA200 is sloping upward, confirming the long-term uptrend. The gap between SMA20 and SMA200 reflects sustained upward structure.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 54.80 is above the 50 midline, indicating bullish momentum. MACD at 1.00 is above the signal line at 0.37 with a positive histogram of 0.62, confirming bullish momentum on the weekly timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 3.78 (8.54% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges, typical for a stock in a transitional or volatile phase. Bollinger Bands (35.32 to 47.41) are wide, with price near the upper half, consistent with the bullish trend.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 30,066,600 is 110.9% of the 20-week average (27,107,295), confirming participation in the recent upward movement.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe provides a more constructive view than the daily. Price is above all key SMAs with bullish alignment. The RSI above 50 and positive MACD histogram confirm upward momentum. Above-average volume supports the move. The 52-week position at 62.2% shows room for further upside. The main caveat is the elevated ATR, which signals that price swings are wider than normal.
