Bottom line
MPLX Technical Analysis Summary
MPLX shows a bullish technical picture with price pressing against multi-year highs. On the daily chart, price at 59.29 is above SMA20 (57.75), SMA50 (56.88), and SMA200 (54.34), confirming an established uptrend across all key moving averages. MACD at 0.72 is above its signal line at 0.52 with a positive histogram of 0.19, and RSI14 at 58.99 sits above the 50 midline without entering overbought territory. The weekly chart confirms the trend with price above all major SMAs and a positive MACD. Price is near the top of its 52-week range at 89.58%, and the last completed daily bar touched a new 52-week high of 60.95 before closing at 59.29 on above-average volume. Key support is at 57.75 (daily SMA20) and 56.26 (20-day low). Key resistance is at 60.95 (20-day and 52-week high). The overall setup reflects a sustained uptrend in a fee-based midstream partnership, with the main near-term risk being consolidation after the stock tagged resistance and reversed lower on the latest daily bar.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 59.29 is above SMA20 (57.75), SMA50 (56.88), and SMA200 (54.34). SMA20 sits above SMA50 and both are above SMA200, confirming a well-defined uptrend. Price has gained 9.80% over the past 60 sessions and 21.68% over the trailing 252 sessions.
- Momentum
- Bullish. RSI14 at 58.99 is above the 50 midline, indicating bullish momentum without approaching overbought levels. MACD at 0.72 is above the signal line at 0.52 with a positive histogram of 0.19, confirming positive momentum that is still expanding. The latest bar closed lower after tagging a new 52-week high, which is worth watching.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.18 (1.99% of price) reflects typical daily swings for a midstream partnership. Bollinger Bands (55.57 to 59.93) show normal width, with price closing near the upper band, consistent with a strong uptrend but also some short-term extension.
- Volume
- Above average on the latest bar. Latest volume of 1,994,800 is approximately 123% of the 20-period average, with the increase coming on the daily pullback from the 52-week high.
Assessment
The daily chart shows MPLX in a strong uptrend, with price above all major SMAs and near the top of its 52-week range at 89.58%. Momentum is constructive, but the last completed bar tagged a new 52-week high of 60.95 and closed at 59.29, down 2.02% on above-average volume, an early sign of selling interest at resistance. RSI at 58.99 still leaves room on both sides, and MACD remains positive. Support at the SMA20 (57.75) and the 20-day low (56.26) define the immediate pullback zone, while a sustained move above 60.95 would confirm trend continuation.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 58.45 is above SMA20 (56.16), SMA50 (53.24), and SMA200 (39.22). SMA20 is above SMA50 and rising, confirming an intermediate-term uptrend, while SMA200 at 39.22 reflects a strong multi-year advance. Price is up 23.21% over the past 60 weeks and 207.17% over the trailing 252 weeks.
- Momentum
- Bullish but flattening. RSI14 at 63.53 is above the 50 midline and approaching the overbought zone. MACD at 1.22 is above the signal line at 1.15, but the histogram at 0.07 has narrowed, signaling that upside momentum is cooling from the earlier run.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 2.12 (3.63% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for a midstream energy partnership. Bollinger Bands (53.56 to 58.77) show normal width with price trading in the upper half.
- Volume
- Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 9,671,200 is approximately 110% of the 20-week average, indicating normal-to-elevated participation.
Assessment
The weekly chart confirms the bullish outlook from the daily timeframe. Price is in a well-defined uptrend above all key SMAs, with the SMA20 and SMA50 rising and the SMA200 well below. RSI at 63.53 and a positive MACD point to healthy momentum, though the narrowing MACD histogram suggests the pace is easing after a strong advance. The 52-week position at 89.65% means the stock is near the top of its range. The weekly structure stays bullish as long as price holds above the SMA20 near 56.16, with the flattening momentum being the main factor to watch.
