Bottom line

UPS Technical Analysis Summary

UPS is in a pullback within a longer-term uptrend at the August 5, 2026 cutoff. The daily close of 107.70 is below SMA20 at 111.40 but above SMA50 at 109.24 and SMA200 at 101.72, with the averages still in a bullish order. Daily RSI14 at 46.17 is below neutral and the MACD histogram is negative at -0.87, showing that momentum cooled after the sharp late-July selloff from the July peak near 118. The weekly picture is mixed: the completed weekly close of 104.22 sits just below SMA20 at 104.67, above SMA50 at 98.50, and well below SMA200 at 120.04, so the longer-term downtrend has not yet reversed. Volume is below average on the daily chart at 73.0% of the 20-day average and elevated on the weekly chart at 138.9% of the 20-week average. Key support is at 102.83 (20-day low), with SMA200 at 101.72 and the 60-day low at 93.86 further down. Key resistance is at 111.40 (SMA20) and the 118.42 to 118.73 zone. A close above 111.40 would suggest the pullback is over, while a break below 102.83 would put the 93.86 area in play.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 107.70 is below SMA20 (111.40) but above SMA50 (109.24) and SMA200 (101.72). The averages remain in a bullish order with SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200, but the pullback from the July peak near 118 has pushed price under the 20-day average. The stock recovered from a 52-week low near 78.17 and has held above the SMA200 during the recent decline.
Momentum
Weak. RSI14 at 46.17 is below the neutral 50 level. MACD line at -0.73 is below the signal line at 0.14, and the histogram at -0.87 is negative, indicating fading near-term momentum after the late-July selloff.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 3.11 (2.89% of price) reflects normal daily swings for a large-cap industrial stock. Bollinger Bands (102.88 to 119.92) are wide, with price trading in the lower middle of the band after the pullback.
Volume
Below average. Latest daily volume of 3,929,000 is 73.0% of the 20-period average (5,384,115), indicating reduced participation in the early-August bounce.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a pullback inside a longer-term uptrend. Price has broken below the SMA20 and momentum has turned negative, but the SMA50 at 109.24 and SMA200 at 101.72 still hold. The 102.83 20-day low is the immediate support; a close below it would open the door toward the SMA200 at 101.72 and the 93.86 60-day low. A reclaim of the SMA20 at 111.40 would signal that the pullback is over.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. The completed weekly close at 104.22 is just below SMA20 (104.67) and above SMA50 (98.50), while SMA200 (120.04) remains overhead. The weekly trend has improved since the 2025 lows but has not confirmed a structural reversal of the multi-year decline.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 49.02 is near the 50 midline. MACD line at 3.18 is above the signal line at 2.89 with a small positive histogram at 0.29, still positive but much weaker than before the late-July drop.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 6.59 (6.32% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges during the selloff. Bollinger Bands (91.71 to 117.63) are wide, with the weekly close near the middle of the range.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 38,564,500 is 138.9% of the 20-week average (27,759,770), reflecting the elevated turnover on the late-July down week.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a sharp corrective week. After the late-July slide, the weekly close of 104.22 sits just below the SMA20. The SMA200 at 120.04 remains the key overhead level and has capped rallies near the 118 to 119 zone. Weekly momentum is neutral, and volume was elevated on the down move. The weekly picture turns more bullish if price reclaims the SMA20 and pushes back toward the SMA200, while a loss of the SMA50 at 98.50 would signal deeper weakness.
