Bottom line
BHP Technical Analysis Summary
BHP shows a strong short-term uptrend with price at 89.38 above the SMA20 (83.58), SMA50 (84.92), and SMA200 (71.94). The 20-day return of +14.15% reflects a sharp recent rally, although the SMA20 still sits below the SMA50, so the daily moving-average stack is not yet in full bullish alignment. Daily RSI at 62.64 is constructive without being overbought, and the MACD histogram at +0.67 confirms expanding upside momentum. The weekly chart remains firmly bullish, with price at 84.49 above all key SMAs (SMA20: 81.15, SMA50: 68.39, SMA200: 56.20), though the weekly MACD histogram at -0.94 shows momentum cooling on the longer timeframe. Key support rests at 79.05 (20-day low) with resistance at 89.49 (20-day high) and 93.83 (60-day high and 52-week high). A break above 89.49 would target 93.83; a break below 79.05 would signal near-term weakness.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish short-term structure with a caveat. Price at 89.38 is above the SMA20 (83.58), SMA50 (84.92), and SMA200 (71.94), but the SMA20 remains below the SMA50, so the daily moving-average stack has not yet aligned in the classic bullish order. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, providing a long-term supportive foundation.
- Momentum
- Constructive. RSI14 at 62.64 is above the 50 midline and below overbought, reflecting healthy upside momentum. MACD at +0.82 is above the signal line at +0.15, with the histogram at +0.67, indicating expanding positive momentum after the recent advance.
- Volatility
- Moderate with a short-term extension. ATR14 at 2.49 (2.79% of price) reflects a normal daily range for a large-cap miner. Price at 89.38 has pushed above the upper Bollinger Band (88.24), signaling strong momentum but also a stretched short-term move that could lead to a pullback or consolidation.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest daily volume of 3,151,000 is 1.29x the 20-period average (2,437,000), indicating increased participation behind the recent advance.
Assessment
BHP is in a strong short-term uptrend, trading above all key moving averages with rising volume and positive momentum. The main caveat is that the SMA20 (83.58) still trails the SMA50 (84.92), so the trend has not yet been fully confirmed by moving-average alignment. Price above the upper Bollinger Band signals momentum but also extension. A close above 89.49 would extend the rally toward 93.83; a break below 79.05 would suggest the advance has stalled.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 84.49 is above the SMA20 (81.15), SMA50 (68.39), and SMA200 (56.20). All key SMAs are in bullish alignment (SMA20 > SMA50 > SMA200), confirming a sustained upward trend on the weekly timeframe. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, reflecting a long-term positive structure.
- Momentum
- Neutral to slightly cooling. RSI14 at 58.56 is above the 50 midline, constructive without being overbought. The MACD line at +4.40 is below the signal line at +5.34, with the histogram at -0.94, indicating that upside momentum on the weekly timeframe has cooled after the strong run even though price remains in an uptrend.
- Volatility
- Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 5.84 (6.91% of price) reflects wider weekly swings. Bollinger Bands (69.03 to 93.28) show price at 84.49 in the upper half, consistent with an uptrending market.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Weekly volume of 11,971,000 is 0.90x the 20-week average (13,291,000), indicating somewhat lighter participation in the latest week.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe is bullish with price above all key SMAs and a properly aligned moving-average stack. The main caution is the weekly MACD histogram turning negative at -0.94, which signals that buying momentum is cooling after a large advance. Price sits at 78.62% of its 52-week range. The 20-week low at 64.53 is the key support zone to monitor.

Scenarios
BHP Technical Scenarios
Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.
Bullish
Trigger
Price breaks and holds above 89.49 (20-day high) with strong volume, targeting the 60-day high and 52-week high at 93.83.
Invalidation
A close below 79.05 (20-day low) would invalidate the breakout view.
What to watch
Sustained closes above the SMA20 (83.58); the daily MACD histogram staying positive; volume above the 20-day average on the breakout; the weekly MACD histogram turning positive again.
Range-Bound
Trigger
Price consolidates between 79.05 (20-day low) and 89.49 (20-day high), with RSI oscillating around 55-65 and the daily MACD staying near the zero line.
Invalidation
A decisive break of either boundary on above-average volume.
What to watch
Volume declining; RSI holding between 50 and 65; the SMA20 and SMA50 converging and potentially crossing; the weekly MACD staying below the signal line.
Bearish
Trigger
Price breaks below 79.05 (20-day low) and fails to reclaim the SMA20 (83.58). A move below the 60-day low at 76.81 would open the way toward the SMA200 at 71.94 and lower support.

Sustained closes below the SMA50 (84.92); the daily MACD histogram turning negative; volume increasing on the breakdown.
