Bottom line
WDS Technical Analysis Summary
WDS technical analysis as of August 5, 2026 shows a bullish trend with a short-term pullback underway. Woodside Energy Group Ltd trades at 22.02, above its SMA20 (21.86), SMA50 (21.21), and SMA200 (19.50) on the daily chart, with the moving averages in bullish alignment. Daily RSI14 at 52.20 is above the neutral 50 level, and the daily MACD line (0.52) sits above its signal line (0.49) with a slightly positive histogram (0.03). The weekly chart is also bullish, with price at 23.46 above all three weekly moving averages and weekly RSI at 60.05. The stock recently pulled back from the 60-day high of 24.71, with a one-day loss of 1.78% and a five-day decline of 5.21% on above-average volume. Key support sits at SMA20 (21.86), the 20-day low (19.97), and the 60-day low (18.80). Resistance lies at the 20-day high (23.55), the 60-day high (24.71), and the 52-week high (25.19). A daily close above SMA20 would confirm the pullback is contained, while a break below the 20-day low would signal a deeper correction.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 22.02 is above SMA20 (21.86, +0.71%), SMA50 (21.21, +3.80%), and SMA200 (19.50, +12.93%). SMA20 and SMA50 are rising above SMA200, giving the daily chart a bullish alignment. The recent pullback from the 60-day high of 24.71 has so far held above the rising SMA20, keeping the uptrend intact.
- Momentum
- Positive but cooling. RSI14 at 52.20 is above the 50 midline, indicating constructive momentum without being overbought. MACD line at 0.52 is above the signal line at 0.49, and the histogram at 0.03 is slightly positive. Momentum remains supportive after a strong advance over the past year, though the recent price decline has narrowed the MACD edge.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 0.59 (2.69% of price) suggests an average daily range of about 2.7%. Bollinger Bands (19.85 to 23.88) are moderately wide, and price is trading in the middle of the band after pulling back from the upper band, consistent with a normal range for a large-cap energy stock.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 1,005,000 is 130.7% of the 20-period average (768,725), indicating elevated participation on the recent down days. The higher volume during the pullback suggests active selling near the recent high, and it will be important to see volume fade if support holds.
Assessment
The daily chart reflects a stock in a strong uptrend that is pausing. WDS has gained roughly 34% over the past year and remains in the upper portion of its 52-week range (position 71.96%). Price is above all three key moving averages, RSI is above 50, and the MACD is slightly positive. The main near-term risk is the pullback from 24.71, which has taken price down to 22.02. As long as daily closes stay above SMA20 (21.86), the trend remains healthy. A break below the 20-day low at 19.97 would shift the near-term structure to a correction toward SMA50 (21.21) or the 60-day low (18.80).
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 23.46 is above SMA20 (22.28, +5.29%), SMA50 (18.81, +24.72%), and SMA200 (17.70, +32.55%). The weekly moving averages are stacked in bullish order and rising, reflecting a durable multi-year uptrend that has carried WDS to the upper part of its 52-week range.
- Momentum
- Positive but moderating. RSI14 at 60.05 is above 50, showing bullish momentum without being overbought. MACD line at 0.71 is below the signal line at 0.86, and the histogram at -0.14 is slightly negative, indicating that the pace of the advance has cooled from the earlier phase of the rally.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.54 (6.58% of price) reflects the wider weekly swings typical for an energy producer tied to commodity prices. Bollinger Bands (19.11 to 25.45) are broad, with price above the middle band but below the upper band, consistent with an uptrend that has recently eased.
- Volume
- Near average. Weekly volume of 4,836,200 is 95.5% of the 20-week average (5,062,010), indicating participation in line with recent norms. The pullback has not been accompanied by unusually heavy selling at the weekly level.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the bullish structure. Price at 23.46 (last completed weekly bar) sits above all three weekly moving averages, RSI is above 50, and the 52-week position is 84.70%. The weekly series shows a gain of roughly 87% across the covered period, and the advance has been persistent. The main caution is the slightly negative weekly MACD histogram (-0.14), which shows momentum cooling after the strong run. Support at SMA20 (22.28) and the 20-week low (18.80) are the key levels to watch on any further pullback, while a sustained move above the 20-week high (25.19) would signal a new leg higher.
