Bottom line
SCCO Technical Analysis Summary
SCCO (Southern Copper) shows a strong recovery as of early August 2026. The daily close at 195.16 sits above SMA20 (180.33), SMA50 (181.62), and SMA200 (168.15), and the stock has climbed well off its June to July low near 161. RSI14 at 60.74 is bullish without being overbought, and the daily MACD line at 2.23 is above its signal at 0.89 with a positive histogram. The weekly chart is in a bullish structure with price above all major weekly moving averages, though weekly RSI at 54.31 and a negative weekly MACD histogram point to momentum that has cooled after the February 2026 peak near 220. Key resistance is at 197.35 (20-day high), 203.19 (60-day high), and 220.52 (52-week high). Support rests at 180.33 (SMA20), 168.15 (SMA200), and 161.29 (20-day low). A daily close above 203.19 with volume would open the path toward the 52-week high, while a break below 180.33 would weaken the rebound case.

Daily (August 4, 2026)
- Trend
- Bullish on the rebound. Price at 195.16 is above SMA20 (180.33, +8.22%), SMA50 (181.62, +7.46%), and SMA200 (168.15, +16.06%). The stock staged a sharp recovery from the July low near 161 and reclaimed all three major moving averages. SMA20 is still slightly below SMA50, which reflects that the move is recent, but the structure has turned constructive after the multi-month pullback from the February 2026 peak.
- Momentum
- Bullish but not overbought. RSI14 at 60.74 is above the 50 midline, indicating positive momentum with room to extend. MACD line at 2.23 is above the signal line at 0.89, and the histogram at 1.35 is positive, confirming an uptrend in short-term momentum.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 8.47 (4.34% of price) reflects large daily swings, typical for a copper producer during a strong trend. Bollinger Bands range from 166.36 to 194.30, and the close at 195.16 is pressing above the upper band, which points to strong near-term momentum but also a stretched condition.
- Volume
- Near average. Latest volume of 1,067,926 is 92.2% of the 20-period average (1,158,221), indicating typical participation for the move.
Assessment
The daily chart has turned bullish after a strong rebound. SCCO reclaimed SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 and now sits just below the 20-day high at 197.35. RSI and MACD both support continued upside, and the stock is trading at 81.08% of its 52-week range. The main caution is that price is above the upper Bollinger Band, so some consolidation would be healthy. A close above 203.19 would extend the recovery, while a drop back below 180.33 would signal that the rebound has stalled.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 182.71 is above SMA20 (177.60, +2.88%), SMA50 (157.07, +16.32%), and SMA200 (97.98, +86.47%). The weekly structure remains in a solid uptrend that dates to the August 2025 low near 86, with the stock reaching a peak near 220 in February 2026 and now consolidating in the upper half of that range.
- Momentum
- Mixed. RSI14 at 54.31 is just above the 50 midline, showing momentum that has cooled from the strong readings seen during the February peak. MACD line at 5.03 is below the signal line at 7.19, and the histogram at -2.16 is negative, indicating that weekly momentum is still in a corrective phase within the broader uptrend.
- Volatility
- High. ATR14 at 18.42 (10.08% of price) reflects large weekly ranges for a cyclical copper producer. Bollinger Bands span 156.45 to 198.75, and price is trading in the upper portion of the band, consistent with a stock in a strong trend.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 5,336,000 is 77.9% of the 20-week average (6,854,099), indicating lighter participation during the recent consolidation.
Assessment
The weekly chart is still bullish overall. Price is above all major weekly moving averages and sits at 71.79% of its 52-week range after recovering from a deep consolidation. The negative MACD histogram shows that the pullback from the February high has not fully resolved, so the stock is best described as consolidating within an uptrend. A weekly close above 203.19 would signal resumption of the uptrend, while a close below the 20-week low at 149.09 would threaten the bullish structure.
