Bottom line

WMT Technical Analysis Summary

WMT shows a cautious technical picture after a sharp pullback from the recent high near 135. On the daily chart, price at 112.34 sits just above SMA20 (112.10) but below SMA50 (114.88) and SMA200 (117.74), with RSI14 at 48.16 and a positive MACD histogram suggesting the selling pressure is easing. The weekly chart is weaker, with price at 111.20 below SMA20 (120.66) and SMA50 (114.96), weekly RSI at 42.20, and a negative MACD histogram. The long-term uptrend remains intact, with price far above the weekly SMA200 at 78.03. Resistance sits at 118.09 (20-day high) and 135.16 (60-day and 52-week high); support rests at 106.79 (20-day and 20-week low) and 94.85 (52-week low). A close above SMA50 near 114.88 would improve the daily outlook, while a break below 106.79 would signal renewed weakness.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Cautious. Price at 112.34 is marginally above SMA20 (112.10, +0.2%) after stabilizing, but remains below SMA50 (114.88, -2.2%) and SMA200 (117.74, -4.6%). The moving averages are stacked in a bearish order with SMA20 below SMA50 below SMA200, which keeps the medium-term bias soft. A close back above SMA50 would be the first sign of improvement.
Momentum
Neutral with early signs of stabilization. RSI14 at 48.16 sits just below the 50 midline, indicating neither strong buying nor selling pressure. The MACD line at -1.08 is above the signal line at -1.42, and the histogram at 0.34 is positive, showing that downside momentum is fading even though both lines remain below zero.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.73 (2.43% of price) reflects normal daily ranges for a large-cap retailer. Bollinger Bands from 108.45 to 115.76 place price near the middle band, consistent with a consolidation phase following the recent decline.
Volume
In line with average. Latest volume of 21,413,800 is about 100% of the 20-period average (21,397,000), showing participation in line with recent norms. No clear accumulation or distribution signal.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. Price fell about 17% from the recent 60-day high near 135.16 to the 60-day low at 106.79, then stabilized and reclaimed SMA20. RSI near 48 is neutral and the positive MACD histogram suggests the selling pressure is easing. However, the bearish moving-average stack means the daily outlook only improves if price clears SMA50 at 114.88 and then SMA200 at 117.74. Support sits at 106.79, with resistance at the 20-day high of 118.09 and the 60-day high of 135.16.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Long-term uptrend intact, medium-term trend lower. Price at 111.20 is below SMA20 (120.66, -7.8%) and SMA50 (114.96, -3.3%) but well above SMA200 (78.03, +42.5%). The steeply rising SMA200 confirms a strong multi-year uptrend, while price trading below the shorter averages shows the recent correction is still in control at the weekly level.
Momentum
Weak. RSI14 at 42.20 is below the 50 midline. The MACD line at -1.59 is below the signal line at 0.46, and the histogram at -2.04 is negative, indicating that downside momentum remains active on the weekly scale.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 6.59 (5.93% of price) reflects wider weekly swings during the pullback. Bollinger Bands from 106.80 to 134.52 place price in the lower half of the weekly range.
Volume
Slightly above average. Latest weekly volume of 118,902,700 is about 116% of the 20-week average (102,469,000), showing increased participation during the recent decline.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms a significant pullback from the 52-week high of 135.16 after a prolonged uptrend. Price has broken below both SMA20 and SMA50, and weekly momentum is negative. The long-term structure remains constructive with price far above the weekly SMA200 at 78.03. A weekly close back above SMA50 at 114.96 would be the first sign of stabilization, and reclaiming SMA20 at 120.66 would suggest the correction is ending. Key support is at 106.79, then the 60-week low near 92.66.
