Bottom line

SHEL Technical Analysis Summary

SHEL (Shell plc) is in a strong multi-timeframe uptrend. Price at 89.84 sits above SMA20 (86.66), SMA50 (84.01), and SMA200 (80.30) on the daily chart, and the weekly chart shows the same bullish alignment with price above all three weekly averages. RSI14 at 62.49 on the daily and 64.21 on the weekly reflects firm momentum without overbought extremes. The daily MACD line (2.13) is above its signal line (1.68) with a positive histogram (0.45), confirming bullish momentum. The stock trades in the upper portion of its 52-week range at 84.22% on the daily and 92.25% on the weekly. Key resistance is at the 20-day and 60-day high of 92.07, followed by the 52-week high of 94.05. Key support is at SMA20 (86.66), the 20-day low (81.27), and the 60-day low (76.26). The latest session pulled back 1.36% from the prior close, and a decisive break above 92.07 would open the path toward 94.05, while a loss of SMA20 would shift the short-term bias neutral.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (August 4, 2026)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 89.84 is above SMA20 (86.66, +3.67%), SMA50 (84.01, +6.94%), and SMA200 (80.30, +11.88%). The moving averages are stacked bullishly with price leading the trend, confirming a positive daily structure after a multi-month recovery.
Momentum
Bullish and not overbought. RSI14 at 62.49 is above the 50 midline with room before reaching overbought territory. MACD line at 2.13 is above the signal line at 1.68, and the histogram at 0.45 is positive, confirming improving momentum.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.66 (1.85% of price) suggests an average daily range of about 2%. Bollinger Bands (80.85 to 92.46) place price in the upper third of the band, consistent with an advancing stock. Band width is moderate, indicating normal volatility for a large-cap energy name.
Volume
Above average. Latest volume of 8,972,303 is 129.4% of the 20-period average (6,933,678), indicating active participation in the recent advance. Sustained above-average volume on up days supports the strength of the move.

Assessment

The daily chart is constructively bullish. SHEL trades above all three major moving averages with a positive SMA stack, RSI momentum is firm, and the MACD histogram is expanding in positive territory. Volume confirms the move at 129% of its 20-period average. The main near-term risk is a pullback after the recent run, since price sits close to the upper Bollinger Band and just 2.5% below the 20-day high of 92.07. A hold above SMA20 (86.66) keeps the trend intact, while a break below the 20-day low at 81.27 would signal a deeper correction.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bullish. Price at 91.98 is above SMA20 (86.01, +6.95%), SMA50 (78.56, +17.09%), and SMA200 (64.13, +43.43%). The weekly moving averages are stacked bullishly and the SMA200 has turned upward, reflecting a multi-year uptrend rather than a short-term bounce.
Momentum
Bullish. RSI14 at 64.21 sits above the 50 midline and is approaching overbought but has not reached extreme readings. MACD line at 1.98 is above the signal line at 1.87, with a slightly positive histogram at 0.10, indicating momentum remains constructive at the weekly level.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 4.23 (4.60% of price) reflects typical weekly ranges for an integrated oil major. Bollinger Bands (77.09 to 94.92) place price near the upper band, consistent with an ongoing advance.
Volume
Above average. Weekly volume of 42,839,501 is 118.7% of the 20-week average (36,082,706), showing rising participation during the advance. Healthy volume on an uptrend adds conviction to the move.

Assessment

The weekly chart confirms a strong multi-year uptrend. Price is well above all three weekly moving averages, the SMA200 at 64.13 has turned up, and the stock trades in the upper part of its 52-week range at 92.25%. RSI at 64.21 and a positive MACD histogram support the bullish structure. The trend is intact as long as price holds above SMA20 (86.01); a weekly close below the 20-week low at 76.26 would be the first sign of trend deterioration.
