Bottom line

UTHR Technical Analysis Summary

UTHR technical analysis for United Therapeutics shows a corrective pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 519.01 is below SMA20 (529.12) and SMA50 (541.50) on the daily chart but remains above the rising SMA200 (515.67), keeping the long-term trend intact after a major advance. Daily RSI14 at 38.54 sits below 50, the daily MACD line (-7.22) is below its signal (-6.57) with a negative histogram (-0.66), and the weekly chart also shows a bearish MACD crossover after price closed below weekly SMA20 (551.41). The 52-week position near 71.6% reflects a stock still well off its 12-month lows. Key support is at the 20-day low of 490.80, with the SMA200 at 515.67 as the next reference; resistance stands at SMA20 (529.12), the 20-day high (556.26), and the 52-week high (609.35). A close back above SMA20 would ease the corrective signal, while a break below 490.80 would point to a deeper pullback.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Corrective within a longer-term uptrend. Price at 519.01 is below SMA20 (529.12, -1.91%) and SMA50 (541.50, -4.15%), but remains above the rising SMA200 (515.67, +0.65%). SMA20 and SMA50 are both sloping lower after the stock peaked near the 52-week high, while the SMA200 continues to rise, keeping the multi-year uptrend structure intact.
Momentum
Bearish near-term. RSI14 at 38.54 is below the 50 midline, showing negative short-term momentum without reaching oversold territory. MACD line at -7.22 sits below the signal line at -6.57, with a negative histogram of -0.66, confirming the loss of upside momentum during the pullback.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 13.18 equals about 2.54% of price, reflecting normal daily swings for a biotech stock. Bollinger Bands (511.33 to 546.91) are moderately wide, and price at 519.01 is trading in the lower half of the bands.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 742,800 is 174.0% of the 20-period average (426,920), showing elevated participation during the pullback.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Price has slipped below SMA20 and SMA50, RSI is below 50, and the MACD histogram is negative, all pointing to near-term weakness. However, price remains above the rising SMA200 at 515.67, and the 52-week position near 71.6% shows a stock still comfortably above its 12-month lows. Price is trading just above the lower Bollinger Band and near the SMA200. A stabilisation above the SMA200 and above the 20-day low at 490.80 would suggest the pullback is finding support, while a close back above SMA20 at 529.12 would signal renewed short-term strength.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Corrective after a strong advance. Price at 517.71 closed below weekly SMA20 (551.41) but remains above SMA50 (494.18) and well above SMA200 (330.47). The weekly structure is an uptrend that has pulled back from the 609.35 high.
Momentum
Turning lower. Weekly RSI14 at 46.73 is just below the 50 midline, showing fading momentum. MACD line at 11.26 is below the signal line at 20.10, and the histogram at -8.84 is negative, marking a bearish crossover on the weekly scale after an extended run.
Volatility
Moderate to high. ATR14 at 28.18 is about 5.44% of price, reflecting wider weekly ranges consistent with the elevated volatility of the recent advance and pullback.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 2,527,300 is 103.1% of the 20-week average (2,451,930), showing participation close to normal levels during the pullback.

Assessment

The weekly chart shows a powerful uptrend that is now correcting. Price remains above the rising SMA50 and SMA200, and the 52-week position near 71.5% reflects a stock well off its lows after a major advance. The bearish weekly MACD crossover and the close below weekly SMA20 are cautionary signals after the run to 609.35. A weekly close back above SMA20 at 551.41 would reduce the bearish signal, while holding above the SMA50 at 494.18 keeps the intermediate uptrend intact. A weekly close below the 20-week low at 514.34 would signal a deeper pullback.
