Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Moderately bullish. Price at 64.12 is above SMA20 (62.83, +2.05%) and SMA50 (61.95, +3.50%) but slightly below SMA200 (64.48, -0.56%). The SMA20 is above SMA50, confirming short-term bullish alignment. The SMA200 is roughly flat, reflecting the absence of a strong long-term directional bias.
- Momentum
- Mildly bullish. RSI14 at 56.22 is above the 50 midline, indicating modest bullish momentum without approaching overbought levels. MACD at 0.41 with signal at 0.28 and a positive histogram of 0.13 confirms a mild bullish bias. Momentum readings are moderate rather than strong, consistent with a consumer staples stock.
- Volatility
- Low to moderate. ATR14 at 0.89 (1.39% of price) reflects below-average volatility typical for a large-cap consumer defensive stock. Bollinger Bands (61.27 to 64.89) are relatively narrow, suggesting a period of low volatility and potential for expansion.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 2,847,300 is 67.4% of the 20-period average (4,224,000), indicating reduced participation. Light volume during the gradual uptrend suggests cautious participation.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a gradual uptrend with price trading above the short-term moving averages. The RSI at 56 and positive MACD histogram point to gentle bullish momentum. The price just below SMA200 at 64.48 makes this level a near-term resistance to watch. The narrow Bollinger Bands suggest a volatility contraction, which often precedes a more significant directional move. Below-average volume tempers conviction in the rally.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 64.05 is above SMA20 (62.74) but below SMA50 (64.89) and just above SMA200 (62.41). The SMA20 is sloping upward while SMA50 is roughly flat, reflecting an absence of strong trend conviction at the weekly level.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 53.74 is near the 50 midline, reflecting a lack of strong directional momentum. MACD at 0.58 with signal at 0.46 and a histogram of 0.12 is mildly positive but subdued.
- Volatility
- Low. ATR14 at 1.50 (2.34% of price) is consistent with the low-volatility profile of a large-cap consumer staples stock. The weekly Bollinger Bands (59.19 to 67.26) reflect the range-bound nature of the stock over recent months.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 13,210,500 is 85.6% of the 20-week average (15,433,400), near normal participation for Unilever.
Assessment
The weekly chart shows a stock that has been range-bound between roughly 59 and 67 over recent months. Price is caught between SMA20 (62.74) above and SMA50 (64.89) below, reflecting the lack of clear directional conviction. The neutral RSI and flat MACD histogram confirm the absence of strong momentum. The stock appears to be in a consolidation or basing phase after recovering from the lows near 56 seen in mid-2025.
