Bottom line
ZTS Technical Analysis Summary
ZTS (Zoetis) is in a clear downtrend across both daily and weekly timeframes as of the August 5, 2026 cutoff. On the daily chart, price at 74.39 sits below SMA20 (75.67, -1.69%), SMA50 (76.52, -2.78%) and well below SMA200 (108.21, -31.25%). RSI14 at 42.72 is below the 50 midline, and the stock trades at 3.95% of its 52-week range, close to the annual low of 70.98. The daily MACD line (-0.27) is above the signal line (-0.46) with a positive histogram (0.19), a short-term improvement within a broader decline. The weekly picture is more stressed, with price at 77.29, RSI14 at 30.24 and price still below every major moving average. Key resistance sits at 80.17 (20-day high) and 82.41 (60-day high); support is at 72.87 (20-day low) and 70.98 (60-day low and 52-week low). A sustained move above 80 would be the first constructive signal, while a close below 70.98 would extend the downtrend.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 74.39 is below SMA20 (75.67, -1.69%), SMA50 (76.52, -2.78%) and SMA200 (108.21, -31.25%). All three moving averages are sloping downward, and price has traded below the 200-day average since the sharp decline from higher levels. The stock sits near the bottom of its recent range and close to its 52-week low.
- Momentum
- Bearish with tentative signs of stabilization. RSI14 at 42.72 is below the 50 midline, pointing to negative momentum without being deeply oversold. The MACD line at -0.27 sits above the signal line at -0.46, and the histogram at 0.19 has turned positive, suggesting selling pressure may be easing after a prolonged decline. This is a short-term improvement within an overall bearish momentum picture.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.48 (3.34% of price) reflects above-average daily swings for ZTS, consistent with the sharp repricing of the stock. Bollinger Bands run from 73.19 to 78.14, and price is testing the lower band. Price at the lower band often reflects an extended move, but it does not by itself predict a reversal.
- Volume
- Elevated. Latest volume of 10,162,400 is 174% of the 20-period average (5,839,855), indicating strong participation on the recent decline. Heavy downside volume confirms that sellers remain active, while a move lower on contracting volume would be a better sign of exhaustion.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a stock in a steep downtrend that has stalled in recent sessions. Price is testing the lower Bollinger Band and sits within 5% of its 52-week low at 70.98. The daily MACD histogram has turned positive, and RSI at 42.72 has recovered from lower levels, hinting at reduced downside momentum. However, price remains below every major moving average, and the 52-week position of 3.95% shows how deeply the stock has fallen. A close back above SMA20 (75.67) followed by the 20-day high (80.17) would be the first meaningful bullish signal.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Weekly price at 77.29 is below SMA20 (90.68, -14.76%), SMA50 (114.63, -32.57%) and SMA200 (151.97, -49.14%). All weekly moving averages are in steep decline, and the structural trend remains firmly down after the move from higher levels. The weekly close remains near the low of its range.
- Momentum
- Weak. RSI14 at 30.24 is near oversold territory and points to persistent downside momentum on the weekly timeframe. The weekly MACD line at -12.63 is slightly above the signal line at -12.79, and the histogram at 0.16 has edged positive. This is a minor sign that the pace of the weekly decline may be slowing, though both lines remain deeply negative.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 6.80 (8.79% of weekly price) reflects very large weekly ranges, consistent with the sharp repricing. Bollinger Bands are wide, spanning 53.58 to 127.78, with price trading in the lower portion of the band.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 24,919,300 is 83.6% of the 20-week average (29,800,245), indicating participation has pulled back during the recent stabilization attempt.
Assessment
The weekly chart remains firmly bearish. Price is well below all major moving averages and near its 52-week low, with RSI at 30.24. The weekly MACD histogram turning positive is the only constructive signal, and it is early. The 20-week low of 70.98 is the line in the sand: a weekly close below it would signal a continuation of the downtrend, while a recovery above the 20-week high of 122.47 would be needed to suggest a durable base is forming.
