Bottom line
WDAY Technical Analysis Summary
WDAY (Workday) closed at 170.64 on August 5, 2026, down 0.37% on the session but up 23.76% over the last 20 sessions, extending a powerful rebound from the 52-week low of 110.36. The daily chart is back above SMA20 (148.93), SMA50 (138.84), and SMA200 (164.62), with RSI14 at 66.49 and a positive MACD histogram at 2.61. The recovery has been sharp, but recent volume has run below the 20-day average and price remains 24.2% below its level of a year ago. On the weekly chart, the week of July 27 gained 18.47% on above-average volume and reclaimed the SMA20, yet price at 160.34 remains below the weekly SMA50 (176.31) and SMA200 (216.36). Key resistance sits at the 20/60-day high at 174.00, then the weekly SMA50 at 176.31 and the 52-week high at 249.85. Support rests at the SMA200 at 164.62, then the SMA20 at 148.93, the 20-day low at 127.11, and the 52-week low at 110.36.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Recovery in progress but not yet a confirmed uptrend. Price at 170.64 is above SMA20 (148.93, +14.6%), SMA50 (138.84, +22.9%), and SMA200 (164.62, +3.7%), but the averages are not in bullish alignment because SMA200 sits above both shorter averages after the stock traded far higher earlier in the year. The rebound has recaptured 43.2% of the 52-week range from the low of 110.36, yet price remains 24.2% below its level of a year ago.
- Momentum
- Strong but approaching stretched. RSI14 at 66.49 has recovered well above the 50 midline and is moving toward the overbought threshold near 70 after the sharp advance. MACD line at 9.08 is above the signal line at 6.47 with a positive histogram of 2.61, confirming that upward momentum is intact.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 9.29 equals about 5.45% of price, reflecting the wide swings of the recent recovery. Bollinger Bands run from 123.31 to 174.56, and the close at 170.64 sits near the upper band, consistent with a strong recent advance.
- Volume
- Below average. The latest session traded 2,258,800 shares, about 50% of the 20-day average of 4,494,195. The rebound has been running on lighter recent participation, which leaves the move less confirmed.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a powerful rebound off the 52-week low. Price is above all three key moving averages, RSI is strong, and the MACD is positive. The main caveats are that volume has been below average on the latest sessions and price has not yet cleared the recent high at 174.00 with conviction. A decisive move above 174.00 would extend the recovery toward the 52-week high at 249.85, while a break back below SMA20 at 148.93 would suggest the rebound has stalled.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed with improving momentum. Weekly price at 160.34 is above SMA20 (131.68, +21.8%) but below SMA50 (176.31, -9.1%) and SMA200 (216.36, -25.9%). The week of July 27 closed up 18.47%, the largest weekly gain in the series, and price reclaimed the SMA20 for the first time in several months. The longer-term averages remain well above price, so the weekly structure is still bearish until price closes above the SMA50 at 176.31.
- Momentum
- Recovering. RSI14 at 55.11 is back above the 50 midline. The weekly MACD line at -7.61 has crossed above the signal line at -13.56 with a positive histogram of 5.95, indicating that downside momentum has faded, though both MACD lines remain below zero.
- Volatility
- Very high. ATR14 at 18.56 is about 11.58% of price, reflecting the extreme week-to-week swings around the crash and rebound. Bollinger Bands run from 109.51 to 153.85, and the weekly close of 160.34 actually sits above the upper band, a sign of how powerful the rebound week was.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 32,422,300 was about 1.33x the 20-week average of 24,425,440, giving the rebound week solid participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart is in transition. The week of July 27 delivered an 18.5% gain on above-average volume, reclaimed the SMA20, and pushed weekly RSI back above 50 with the MACD histogram turning positive. However, price remains below the SMA50 and SMA200, and the weekly series ended at 160.34, before the daily series reached 170.64 on August 5. A weekly close above the SMA50 at 176.31 would be the first meaningful sign of a longer-term trend change.
