Bottom line

VRSK Technical Analysis Summary

VRSK technical analysis shows a fresh short-term pullback after the stock rallied to 226.08 in late July. Price at 188.75 has fallen below the SMA20 (196.83) and SMA200 (197.68), with RSI at 45.23 and a negative MACD histogram pointing to near-term downside momentum. However, price still holds above the daily SMA50 (186.54), and the weekly chart is more constructive: price trades above the weekly SMA20 (181.85), RSI is near 50, and the positive weekly MACD histogram at 4.84 suggests the medium-term decline from the 60-week high of 315.55 is decelerating. Key support is at 183.60 (20-day low) and 155.52 (60-day low and 52-week low), while resistance sits near the SMA20/SMA200 cluster around 196.80 to 197.70 and then at 226.08 (20-day high). Volume on the latest daily session was below average, which tempers the read on follow-through, but the weekly structure still points to a stabilizing trend rather than a fresh breakdown.

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

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 188.75 is below SMA20 (196.83) and SMA200 (197.68) but above SMA50 (186.54). After the late-July rally price fell back below the SMA20 and SMA200, so the short-term alignment has turned negative while the SMA50 still provides support underneath.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 45.23 is below the 50 midline and falling. MACD line at 2.67 has crossed below the signal line at 4.55 with a negative histogram of -1.88, pointing to accelerating short-term downside momentum after the pullback.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 7.60 (4.03% of price) reflects wide daily ranges during the decline. Bollinger Bands run from 181.79 to 211.87 with price trading in the lower portion of the band.
Volume
Below average. The latest volume of 1,000,100 is 57.5% of the 20-day average (1,740,025), showing lighter participation on the latest session. The heavier volume occurred on the late-July distribution days.

Assessment

The daily chart has shifted bearish in the short term. After reaching 226.08 on July 29, price fell sharply, broke below the SMA20 and SMA200, and has now put in five consecutive losing sessions with RSI below 50 and a negative MACD histogram. The nearest support is the 20-day low at 183.60, followed by the 60-day low at 155.52. Resistance sits near the SMA20/SMA200 cluster around 196.80 to 197.70. A reclaim of that zone on volume would be needed to stabilize the short-term trend.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 194.85 is above SMA20 (181.85) but below SMA50 (207.12) and SMA200 (232.23). The medium-term structure remains corrective after the decline from the 60-week high at 315.55, though price has reclaimed the weekly SMA20.
Momentum
Neutral. RSI14 at 51.23 sits near the 50 midline. MACD line at -3.66 remains below the signal line at -8.49 but the histogram at 4.84 is positive, showing the pace of the decline is decelerating and a bullish crossover is approaching.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 15.34 (7.87% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with a volatile corrective phase.
Volume
Slightly above average. The latest weekly volume of 12,563,900 is 118.5% of the 20-week average (10,601,805), showing active participation during the pullback.

Assessment

The weekly chart keeps VRSK in a medium-term corrective phase with price below the SMA50 and SMA200. The constructive element is the positive MACD histogram, which has held positive even as price rolled over from the 226.08 swing high, suggesting downside pressure is easing. Support is at 155.52 (20-week and 60-week low) while resistance is at the SMA50 near 207.12 and the 20-week high at 226.08. A weekly close above 207.12 would improve the intermediate-term outlook.
