Bottom line
RELX Technical Analysis Summary
RELX (RELX PLC) shows a mixed but improving technical picture as of early August 2026. The daily chart at 36.61 sits above SMA20 (34.59), SMA50 (33.44), and SMA200 (35.90), with RSI14 at 60.42 and a positive MACD, reflecting a solid rebound from the July low near 27.04. The stock is still down about 28% over the past year and trades below the weekly SMA50 (37.56) and SMA200 (38.46), so the longer-term downtrend is not yet repaired. Near-term support rests at SMA20 (34.59), then 31.73, while resistance sits at the 20-period high near 38.58.

Daily (August 5, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 36.61 is above SMA20 (34.59), SMA50 (33.44), and SMA200 (35.90). The SMA20 is above the SMA50 and both are rising, a constructive near-term alignment, but the SMA200 still sits above the SMA20, a reminder that the longer-term downtrend from the 2025 highs has not been fully repaired.
- Momentum
- Mildly bullish. RSI14 at 60.42 is above the neutral 50 level, reflecting positive but not extreme momentum. MACD at 1.07 is above the signal line at 0.85 with a positive histogram of 0.22, a bullish configuration consistent with the recent recovery.
- Volatility
- Moderate. ATR14 at 1.16 (3.18% of price) reflects normal daily ranges for a large-cap information services stock. Bollinger Bands at 30.88 to 38.31 show price trading in the upper half of the range, in line with the rebound from the July low.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 2,430,100 is 79% of the 20-period average (3,083,105), indicating that the recent pullback unfolded on lighter than typical participation.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a stock that fell sharply from its 52-week high near 50.20 to a low near 27.04, then rebounded over the past several weeks. Price is now above SMA20 and SMA50 with RSI above 50 and a positive MACD, a constructive short-term setup. However, the 4.2% decline over the last five sessions and the SMA200 just overhead at 35.90 keep the recovery in question. A hold above SMA20 (34.59) keeps the near-term bias constructive, while a close back above the 20-period high near 38.58 would extend the recovery. Loss of 34.59 would put the 31.73 support zone back in play.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Mixed. The weekly series ends the week of July 27, 2026 at 35.42. Price is above SMA20 (33.41) but below SMA50 (37.56) and SMA200 (38.46), reflecting a recovery attempt inside a longer-term downtrend. The SMA20 has turned up while the SMA50 and SMA200 remain overhead.
- Momentum
- Neutral with an improving bias. Weekly RSI14 at 52.44 is just above the neutral 50 level. MACD at -0.97 remains below the signal line at -1.52, but the histogram has turned positive at 0.55 as the MACD line rises toward its signal, suggesting downside momentum is fading.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 2.30 (6.50% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges, typical during the high-volatility recovery from the lows.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 17,633,300 is 1.26 times the 20-week average of 13,991,275, reflecting increased participation during the rebound.
Assessment
The weekly timeframe shows a stock recovering from a deep drawdown. After bottoming near 27.04, price has climbed back above the SMA20 and reclaimed a portion of the losses. The 52-week position near 35% still reflects the damage from the prior downtrend, and the SMA50 (37.56) and SMA200 (38.46) remain overhead as resistance. The positive MACD histogram and rising price action suggest the recovery has momentum, but the longer-term averages must be reclaimed to confirm a trend change. A weekly close above the 20-period high near 38.58 would be an important constructive signal.
