Bottom line
ALNY Technical Analysis Summary
ALNY (Alnylam Pharmaceuticals) is in a sharp downtrend after a major decline from its 52-week high. On the daily chart, price at 228.72 sits below SMA20 (264.73), SMA50 (283.56), and SMA200 (345.53), confirming a bearish moving-average structure. RSI14 at 35.86 is below the 50 midline and approaching oversold, while the daily MACD line at -18.56 is below the signal line at -12.82 with a negative histogram of -5.74. The weekly picture is more stretched, with price at 205.52 well below all major averages, RSI14 at 24.88 in deeply oversold territory, and a 52-week position near 2.59%. The latest daily bar posted a 4.44% gain, but it remains a bounce within a weak structure until price reclaims the SMA20 near 264.73. Key support is the 52-week low at 197.81, while resistance stands at the daily SMA20 (264.73) ahead of the 20-period high near 380.00.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 228.72 is below SMA20 (264.73), SMA50 (283.56), and SMA200 (345.53), with the averages stacked in bearish alignment. The stock has fallen sharply from the 52-week high near 495.55 and has broken below every major moving average. The latest daily gain of 4.44% is a short-term bounce within the downtrend, not yet a reversal signal.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 35.86 is below the 50 midline and trending toward oversold territory near 30. The MACD line at -18.56 is below the signal line at -12.82, and the histogram at -5.74 is negative, indicating sustained selling pressure. Momentum has not confirmed a turnaround, although the latest bar closed higher.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 15.93 equals about 6.96% of price, reflecting unusually wide daily swings during the decline. Bollinger Bands range from 203.71 to 325.76, and price is trading in the lower half of the bands, consistent with a down move. The bands are not compressed, so no low-volatility base has formed.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 2,733,300 is about 110% of the 20-day average (2,485,490). Heavy participation has accompanied the selloff, which adds weight to the current downside move.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a stock that has lost a large portion of its value in a short period and is now trading below all major moving averages. The near-oversold RSI at 35.86 and the 4.44% bounce on the latest bar hint at possible short-term stabilization, but trend and momentum remain negative. The stock needs to reclaim the SMA20 near 264.73 to shift the short-term structure. A failure to hold the 52-week low at 197.81 would open the door to further downside. Until then, pullbacks within this downtrend remain the higher-probability path.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed, leaning bearish. Price at 205.52 is below SMA20 (293.75), SMA50 (362.94), and SMA200 (257.51). The sharp selloff has disrupted the longer-term averages, and price is now below every major reading. The prior multi-year uptrend has been broken on a weekly basis.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 24.88 is deeply oversold below 30. The MACD line at -25.03 is well below the signal line at -21.24, with a negative histogram of -3.79. Deeply oversold readings can persist during strong downtrends, so they should not be read as an automatic reversal signal.
- Volatility
- Very high. ATR14 at 32.51 is about 15.82% of price, reflecting extreme weekly price swings. Bollinger Bands range from 243.43 to 344.06, and price is trading below the lower band, a sign of a sharp and disorderly move. High volatility is typical of large drawdowns.
- Volume
- Well above average. Latest weekly volume of 18,452,600 is about 282% of the 20-week average (6,539,665), signaling heavy distribution during the breakdown.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the severity of the decline. Price is below every major average, RSI is deeply oversold at 24.88, and volume expanded sharply during the selling. The 252-week return is still positive at +6.66%, reflecting the prior uptrend, but the recent move has erased most of the gains. A base needs time to form before the weekly structure turns constructive, and the immediate focus is whether price can hold the 52-week low at 197.81.
