Bottom line

MELI Technical Analysis Summary

MELI technical analysis shows a stock in an early recovery from a sharp decline within a still uncertain longer-term structure. On the daily chart, price at 1,922.57 trades above SMA20 (1,849.46), SMA50 (1,741.60), and SMA200 (1,889.77), but the averages are not in a clean bullish stack because the SMA200 sits above the SMA20, an unfinished repair of the prior downtrend. Daily RSI14 at 68.74 is approaching overbought, and the latest close printed above the upper Bollinger Band on about 1.6 times the 20-day average volume. The weekly picture is improving as well, with price at 1,877.95 above the weekly SMA20 (1,721.09) and SMA200 (1,703.29) but below the SMA50 (1,955.45), and a strongly positive weekly MACD histogram. Key resistance is the 20-day high at 1,944.99, with the 52-week high near 2,548.50 as the larger target. Key support sits near the 20-day low at 1,760.90, with the 52-week low at 1,495.00 as the major downside reference.

Daily (August 5, 2026)

Trend
Mixed but improving. Price at 1,922.57 is above SMA20 (1,849.46), SMA50 (1,741.60), and SMA200 (1,889.77), with all three averages rising after the stock bottomed near 1,495.00 in May. The averages are not stacked in a clean bullish order because the SMA200 remains above the SMA20, which is common early in a recovery from a deep drawdown. The 1-period return of +1.80% on the latest bar and the 60-period return of +17.77% show the advance has follow-through, but the 252-period return of -19.75% is a reminder that the stock remains well below its levels of a year ago.
Momentum
Bullish but stretched. RSI14 at 68.74 is near overbought but not extreme, leaving room for further upside while warranting caution. The MACD line at 42.32 is above the signal at 39.21 with a positive histogram of 3.10, confirming upside momentum. The main caution is that price closed slightly above the upper Bollinger Band at 1,920.34, a stretched reading that often precedes a pause or a pullback.
Volatility
Elevated. ATR14 at 53.90 is about 2.80% of price, wider than the roughly 2% level seen during calmer stretches. Bollinger Bands span 1,778.59 to 1,920.34, and the latest close at 1,922.57 finished just above the upper band, indicating that the recent move has been fast.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 603,400 is about 160% of the 20-day average of 376,570, so the breakout bar printed with solid participation. Volume coverage can differ across venues, so the relative ratio is computed from the same calculation series throughout.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a recovery advance with price above every major average and positive momentum. The concern is short-term extension: RSI near 69 and a close above the upper Bollinger Band suggest the move may pause or consolidate before continuing. The immediate test is resistance at the 20-day high of 1,944.99. A failure there with fading volume would set up a pullback toward SMA20 near 1,849.46 or the 20-day low near 1,760.90, while a breakout on volume would reopen the path toward the 52-week high near 2,548.50.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed, improving. Price at 1,877.95 is above SMA20 (1,721.09) and SMA200 (1,703.29) but still below SMA50 (1,955.45). The weekly 5-period return of +12.11% and 20-period return of +12.45% show a strong advance off the May low near 1,495.00, yet the 60-period return of -24.35% reflects the depth of the prior decline. The stock is in the early stages of rebuilding a weekly uptrend.
Momentum
Turning positive. RSI14 at 54.06 is back above the 50 midline, a neutral-to-constructive reading. The MACD line at -35.25 remains below the signal at -73.65, but the histogram is strongly positive at 38.40, meaning the MACD line is rising quickly and a bullish crossover is drawing closer. The improvement is real but still needs confirmation.
Volatility
High. ATR14 at 139.07 is about 7.41% of price, reflecting wide weekly swings consistent with the recent drawdown and recovery. Bollinger Bands span 1,514.66 to 1,927.52, and price is trading in the upper half of the band range.
Volume
Below average. Latest weekly volume of 1,772,200 is about 76% of the 20-week average of 2,342,435. The recovery has not yet drawn heavy weekly participation, which leaves some doubt about the durability of the advance.

Assessment

The weekly chart supports a stabilization and early recovery story. Price has reclaimed the 20-week and 200-week averages, and momentum is turning up from a deeply negative base, as shown by the rising MACD histogram. The resistance zone near 1,905 to 1,955 (20-week high and SMA50) is the next hurdle. Below, the 20-week low near 1,495.00 remains the key downside reference until the stock clears the weekly SMA50 near 1,955.45.

Scenarios

Conditions, invalidation triggers, and what to watch for each scenario.

Bullish

Trigger

Price breaks and holds above the daily 20-day high at 1,944.99 on rising volume, opening the path toward the 52-week high near 2,548.50.

Price fails at 1,944.99 and drops back below the SMA20 near 1,849.46.

What to watch

Sustained closes above 1,945; daily RSI holding above 60 without extreme overbought; a weekly MACD bullish crossover; volume expanding on up days.

Range-Bound

Trigger

Price oscillates between the 20-day low near 1,760.90 and the 20-day high near 1,944.99 while digesting the recent advance.

Invalidation

A decisive break of either boundary on above-average volume.

What to watch

RSI holding between 40 and 70; Bollinger Bands flattening; declining volume during the pause; SMA20 near 1,849.46 acting as the center of the range.

Bearish

Trigger

Price reverses below the 20-day low near 1,760.90 and confirms with a close below the SMA20 near 1,849.46, targeting the 52-week low near 1,495.00.

Invalidation

Price reclaims the 20-day high near 1,944.99 and holds above it.

What to watch

Daily RSI falling back below 50; the MACD histogram turning negative; expanding downside volume; a loss of the 1,495.00 low would signal a deeper trend problem.
