Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 293.41 is above SMA20 (278.28), SMA50 (275.68), and SMA200 (256.47), with the moving averages stacked in a bullish alignment (SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200). The stock has recovered strongly over the past month, climbing from the pullback area near 255 into the 293 region.
Momentum
Constructive. RSI14 at 61.56 is above neutral but below the overbought threshold of 70, leaving room for further upside. MACD at 6.78 is above its signal line at 3.93 and above the zero line, with a positive histogram at 2.85 that points to expanding upside momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 10.05 (3.42% of price) reflects normal daily ranges for VRSN. Price at 293.41 sits between the Bollinger middle band (278.28) and the upper band (300.69), indicating a steady trend without an extreme volatility expansion.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 1,049,100 is 1.23x the 20-period average (853,340), confirming participation in the recent advance.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a clear uptrend with price above all key moving averages, positive MACD momentum, and above-average volume on the latest session. RSI at 61.56 is constructive but not overbought. A sustained close above 303.00 (20-day high) would open the path toward the 312.48 area. The bullish setup would weaken if price loses the SMA20 at 278.28 or falls back below the 20-day low at 255.21.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 290.02 is above SMA20 (273.38), SMA50 (259.13), and SMA200 (220.36), with a bullish moving-average stack. The longer-term uptrend remains intact after the pullback from the 312.48 high.
Momentum
Neutral to positive. RSI14 at 59.35 is moderately bullish. MACD at 6.75 sits just above its signal line at 6.70, with the histogram at 0.05 turning slightly positive, indicating that the weekly pullback has stabilized and momentum is starting to rebuild.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 17.54 (6.05% of price) reflects normal weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (238.72 to 308.05) are wide after the large recovery move, with price above the middle band (273.38), consistent with an uptrend in progress.
Volume
About average. Weekly volume of 4,258,200 is 1.03x the 20-week average (4,121,925), showing normal participation without extreme buying or selling pressure.

Assessment

The weekly chart remains in a bullish trend. Price has recaptured the SMA20 (273.38) after the pullback and holds above all key moving averages. The weekly MACD histogram has turned slightly positive, signaling that downside momentum has stalled. The 20-week high at 312.48 remains the key upside objective, and a return toward that level would confirm the resumption of the longer-term uptrend. The structure would be threatened by a weekly close back below the SMA20, with the 20-week low at 236.37 as the next reference.
