Bottom line
HSBC Technical Analysis Summary
HSBC (HSBC Holdings) shows a strongly bullish technical picture on both daily and weekly timeframes, with price trading near the 52-week high of 107.92. On the daily chart, price at 106.04 is above SMA20 (101.91), SMA50 (97.05), and SMA200 (83.89), a fully aligned uptrend. RSI14 at 63.50 is bullish but below overbought, and the daily MACD is positive with a histogram of 0.33, though momentum has flattened after the push to the high. The weekly chart is equally bullish with price above all key SMAs, while weekly RSI at 74.46 is overbought for the first time in this rally. The last completed daily bar pulled back 1.69% on above-average volume after printing the 52-week high on August 3. Key resistance is 107.92, with support at SMA20 (101.91), SMA50 (97.05), and the 20-day low (95.18). A breakout above 107.92 would signal continuation, while a loss of SMA20 would warn of a deeper pullback.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 106.04 is above SMA20 (101.91), SMA50 (97.05), and SMA200 (83.89). All major moving averages are in bullish alignment with SMA20 above SMA50 above SMA200, and the SMA200 is sloping upward, confirming a well-established uptrend. Price has rallied about 81% over the past 252 sessions and has been making higher lows throughout the period.
- Momentum
- Bullish but moderating. RSI14 at 63.50 is above the 50 midline and below the overbought threshold of 70. MACD line at 2.85 is above the signal line at 2.52 with a positive histogram of 0.33. The histogram has compressed after the run to the 52-week high, indicating momentum is steadying rather than accelerating.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.08 (1.96% of price) indicates contained daily swings for a global bank. Bollinger Bands (95.51 to 108.31) show price near the upper band, consistent with the strong uptrend. Band width is moderate, and the pullback on the last completed bar has not widened the bands materially.
- Volume
- Above average. Latest volume of 2,126,205 is about 1.55 times the 20-period average (1,372,900). The elevated participation was concentrated on the pullback from the 52-week high, a sign of profit taking that warrants watching for follow through.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a well-aligned bullish trend with price above all major SMAs and a positive MACD. RSI below 70 leaves room for further upside, but the last completed bar fell 1.69% from the 52-week high of 107.92 on above-average volume, the first sign of short-term distribution. The immediate level to watch is 107.92: a sustained breakout with volume would confirm the next leg higher, while a loss of SMA20 (101.91) followed by the 20-day low (95.18) would point to a deeper pullback.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 106.42 is well above SMA20 (92.18), SMA50 (80.65), and SMA200 (48.35). All weekly SMAs slope upward with the SMA200 still accelerating, confirming a mature structural uptrend over the past five years.
- Momentum
- Bullish with overbought proximity. RSI14 at 74.46 is above 70, in overbought territory, reflecting powerful momentum that also raises the risk of a near-term consolidation or pullback. MACD line at 6.34 is above the signal line at 5.55 with a positive histogram of 0.79, confirming sustained bullish momentum at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 4.67 (4.39% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges. Bollinger Bands (77.94 to 106.41) show price trading at the upper band, which can occur during strong trends but may also precede a reversion.
- Volume
- Slightly below average. Latest weekly volume of 6,721,900 is about 82% of the 20-week average (8,197,810), indicating participation is not expanding with the move.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the bullish daily view. Price is above all key SMAs with a positive MACD, and the 52-week position at 97.61% shows the stock trading near its highs. The weekly RSI above 70 is the main caution: it signals strong momentum but has historically preceded short-term consolidations. Key support is SMA20 (92.18) and the 20-week low (75.79), with resistance at the 52-week high of 107.59 on the weekly series. The setup is bullish but extended, and a consolidation phase near the highs would be a normal development.
