Bottom line

VMC Technical Analysis Summary

VMC shows a consistently bullish technical picture across both daily and weekly timeframes. Price is above all major moving averages (SMA20, SMA50, SMA200) on both charts with bullish alignment. RSI at 60.42 (daily) and 58.73 (weekly) is in bullish territory, MACD histogram is positive on both timeframes, and the stock is trading near its 52-week high of 309.87. The key level to watch is resistance at the 52-week high, and support at SMA20 (284.52 daily, 275.33 weekly). Volume is slightly below average, suggesting the rally lacks strong participation.

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 302.84 is above SMA20 (284.52), SMA50 (278.19), and SMA200 (255.46). The moving averages are in bullish alignment with SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200, all sloping upward.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 60.42 is in bullish territory, above the 50 neutral level but below 70 (not overbought). MACD at 6.85 with signal at 5.92 and a positive histogram of 0.93 indicates upward momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 5.32 (1.76% of price) reflects moderate daily swings for a construction materials company. Bollinger Bands (270.15 to 308.53) show price near the upper band, consistent with the uptrend.
Volume
Slightly below average. Latest volume of 621,540 is 0.68 times the 20-period average (914,030), indicating reduced participation in the recent rally.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a well-established uptrend with price above all major moving averages. The stock has rallied from its 52-week low of 229.57 and is now approaching its 52-week high of 309.87. RSI is bullish without being overbought, and MACD confirms positive momentum. The main concern is low volume participation, suggesting institutional accumulation is not aggressive at these levels. The 52-week position at 88.4% indicates the stock is near cyclical highs.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 296.45 is above SMA20 (275.33), SMA50 (258.10), and SMA200 (210.85). All major SMAs are sloping upward in textbook bullish alignment.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 58.73 is in bullish territory. MACD at 12.15 with signal at 11.32 and a positive histogram of 0.83 confirms upward momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 11.83 (3.99% of price) reflects moderate weekly swings. Bollinger Bands (259.60 to 304.87) are relatively tight, with price near the upper band.
Volume
Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 3,695,200 is 0.75 times the 20-week average (4,927,000), suggesting mild participation.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms the strong uptrend with price above all major moving averages. The stock has gained 29.15% over the trailing year on a weekly basis. RSI at 58.73 is solidly in bullish territory. MACD is positive though the modest histogram suggests steady rather than accelerating momentum. The stock is at 74.6% of its 52-week range. The weekly SMA200 at 210.85 provides a long-term support anchor. Overall, the weekly structure is consistent with a steady, sustainable uptrend.
