Bottom line

UPS Technical Analysis Summary

UPS shows a constructive daily technical picture with price at 113.67 above its SMA20 (109.15), SMA50 (105.06), and SMA200 (99.29), all in bullish alignment. The daily RSI at 63.68 is neutral and the MACD histogram at 0.31 is positive, supporting the near-term uptrend. However, the weekly chart shows price at 112.47 still below the 200-week SMA of 120.42, indicating the structural downtrend since 2022 has not yet fully reversed. Volume on both timeframes is below average, suggesting reduced participation in the recovery. Key support rests at the 20-day low of 102.85, while resistance sits at the 20-day high of 114.02 and the 52-week high of 118.73. A sustained break above 118.73 would signal a potential trend reversal; a breakdown below 102.85 would suggest the rally has failed.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 113.67 is above SMA20 (109.15), SMA50 (105.06), and SMA200 (99.29). All three SMAs are in a bullish ascending order with the SMA20 above SMA50 and SMA50 above SMA200. Price has been trending higher since the 52-week low near 78.17.
Momentum
Positive. RSI14 at 63.68 is in neutral territory, not overbought or oversold, with room for further upside. MACD at 1.94 is above the signal line at 1.63 and the histogram at 0.31 is positive, confirming constructive near-term momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.74 (2.41% of price) indicates moderate daily price swings typical for a large-cap industrial stock. Bollinger Bands (104.17 to 114.12) are moderately wide with price near the upper band, reflecting the recent uptrend.
Volume
Below average. Latest daily volume of 3,066,722 is 64.1% of the 20-period average (4,787,631), indicating reduced participation in the recent advance.

Assessment

Daily timeframe shows a bullish bias with price in a steady uptrend above all key SMAs. The momentum indicators are positive but not stretched. The below-average volume is a minor concern as it suggests the rally lacks strong conviction. The structure remains constructive as long as price holds above the SMA20 at 109.15.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 112.47 is above SMA20 (103.35) and SMA50 (96.62) but below SMA200 (120.42). The SMA200 capped prices near 120, which aligns with the 52-week high. The weekly trend is recovering but has not yet confirmed a structural reversal from the multi-year downtrend.
Momentum
Neutral positive. RSI14 at 61.88 is in neutral territory. MACD at 2.95 is above the signal line at 2.28 with the histogram at 0.67 positive, indicating improving weekly momentum. However, the reading is not exceptionally strong.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 6.16 (5.48% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (91.37 to 115.33) are relatively wide with price near the upper band, consistent with the recent weekly uptrend.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 21,224,400 is 74.7% of the 20-week average (28,418,375).

Assessment

The weekly timeframe shows improvement with price recovering above the SMA20 and SMA50, but the SMA200 at 120.42 remains a significant resistance level. The 52-week high near 118.73 also serves as resistance. Weekly momentum is improving but not yet confirming a trend reversal. The weekly structure will turn more bullish if price can break and hold above the 200-week SMA.
