Bottom line
UNP Technical Analysis Summary
UNP displays a solid bullish technical structure across both daily and weekly timeframes. Price is above all key moving averages (SMA20, SMA50, SMA200) on both timeframes, with the SMA200 trending upward confirming the long-term uptrend. RSI at 68.52 on the daily and 66.92 on the weekly indicates healthy momentum without reaching overbought extremes. The MACD histogram is positive and rising on both timeframes, signaling accelerating upside momentum. Key support rests at the 20-day low of 255.22 and the 60-day low of 247.22. Resistance sits near the 52-week high of 291.45. A breakout above 291.45 with volume would confirm the next leg higher; a breakdown below SMA50 at 269.24 would suggest short-term weakness.

Daily (July 14, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 288.30 is above SMA20 (273.25), SMA50 (269.24), and SMA200 (244.58). The SMA20 is above SMA50, confirming a short-term bullish alignment. The SMA200 is sloping upward, supporting the long-term uptrend.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 68.52 is in bullish territory approaching the 70 overbought threshold, indicating strong but not extreme momentum. MACD at 6.03 with signal at 4.33 and a positive rising histogram of 1.70 indicates accelerating bullish momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 5.38 (1.87% of price) suggests average daily movement of about 1.9%. Bollinger Bands (251.60 to 294.90) are moderately wide with price near the upper band, reflecting upward momentum.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Latest volume of 2,945,735 is 111.1% of the 20-period average (2,652,507), indicating healthy participation.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a strong uptrend with price at the upper end of its range. All key moving averages are aligned bullishly. RSI is approaching overbought levels but has room before reaching 70, and the rising MACD histogram confirms momentum. The above-average volume during the rally supports the move. A sustained move above 291.45 (52-week high) would confirm the next leg higher.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 286.96 is above SMA20 (260.13), SMA50 (240.24), and well above SMA200 (219.42). The SMA200 is sloping strongly upward, confirming a mature long-term uptrend. All major moving averages are in a bullish alignment.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 66.92 is below the 70 overbought threshold, suggesting there is room for further upside on the weekly scale. MACD at 10.65 with signal at 9.17 and a positive histogram of 1.48 confirms steady upside momentum.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 12.25 (4.27% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges for a large-cap railroad stock in an uptrend.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 10,277,100 is 73.4% of the 20-week average (14,003,895), indicating somewhat reduced participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart reinforces the bullish daily view with price trading well above all SMAs and the SMA200 sloping upward. The RSI at 66.92 is in healthy bullish territory without being overbought, suggesting potential for continued upside. The positive MACD histogram confirms steady momentum. The 52-week position at 97.6% reflects a stock trading near its highs. The below-average weekly volume is a mild concern but does not negate the bullish structure.
