Bottom line
AZN Technical Analysis Summary
AZN shows a sharply bearish short-term technical picture after a fresh high-volume decline in early August took the stock below its late-July lows. Price at 155.62 trades below SMA20 (169.55), SMA50 (177.89), and SMA200 (183.87) on the daily chart and closed just under the lower Bollinger Band (156.27). Daily RSI14 at 30.66 is approaching oversold, and MACD is negative and still declining. The weekly series, which ends the week of July 27, 2026 before the August slide, shows price below its SMA20 and SMA50 while staying above a rising SMA200 (146.08). Near-term support sits at the 153.41 area, which is both the 20- and 60-period daily low, with the 52-week low near 143.93 as the major downside reference. Resistance starts near 158 to 160, then the 164 to 170 zone that includes SMA20 (169.55).

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 155.62 is below SMA20 (169.55), SMA50 (177.89), and SMA200 (183.87). The SMA20 and SMA50 are both declining, and the SMA200 at 183.87 sits well above price as overhead resistance. Price closed below the lower Bollinger Band (156.27), reflecting an oversold extension after the sharp two-session decline.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 30.66 is below the neutral 50 level and approaching oversold territory (below 30). MACD at -4.62 is below the signal line at -3.70 with a negative histogram of -0.91, confirming negative momentum. Price, moving averages, and momentum are aligned to the downside.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 5.08 (3.26% of price) reflects above-average daily ranges after the August decline. Bollinger Bands widened to 156.27 to 182.83, and price closed below the lower band, which signals an extended move rather than a reversal on its own.
- Volume
- Well above average. Latest volume of 8,057,497 is 2.06 times the 20-day average of 3,910,240. The August 3 session printed about 16.3 million shares, the heaviest volume of the period, confirming strong selling pressure during the breakdown.
Assessment
The daily timeframe is bearish. A high-volume breakdown on August 3 and a follow-through lower on August 4 pushed price to the lower edge of the recent range and toward the 52-week low zone. RSI near oversold suggests a bounce attempt is possible, but the first signs of stability would be a reclaim of the 158 to 160 area, then SMA20 at 169.55. A sustained close below 153.41 would bring the 52-week low near 143.93 into focus.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish to neutral. The weekly series ends the week of July 27, 2026 at 169.64, before the August slide. Price is below SMA20 (184.93) and SMA50 (180.15) but above SMA200 (146.08). The SMA20 is declining toward the SMA50, a sign of fading shorter-term momentum, while the rising SMA200 reflects the longer-term uptrend that preceded the recent weakness.
- Momentum
- Bearish. Weekly RSI14 at 41.86 is below the neutral 50 level. MACD at -2.86 is below the signal line at 0.02 with a negative histogram of -2.88, indicating deteriorating momentum on the longer timeframe.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 9.99 (5.89% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges during the recent decline.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 14,784,500 is 1.43 times the 20-week average of 10,370,285, reflecting increased participation during the selloff.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe has turned cautious. Price held a 168 to 173 zone through late July, but the completed weekly series does not include the August 3 and August 4 sessions, so the next completed weekly bar will likely show further deterioration. SMA20 (184.93) and SMA50 (180.15) are now overhead, while SMA200 (146.08) remains the longer-term support. A weekly close below the 20-period low near 164.06 would confirm the breakdown.
