ABBV technical analysis

• – Price vs EMA20: latest weekly close is 262.82, which is above EMA20 at 250.03 by 5.12%.
• – Price vs EMA50: latest weekly close is 262.82, which is above EMA50 at 234.09 by 12.27%.
• – Price vs EMA200: latest weekly close is 262.82, which is above EMA200 at 192.67 by 36.41%.
• – EMA stack: bullish, with 20 > 50 > 200. This stack describes trend, not entry timing.
• – Crosses: last EMA50/EMA200 cross: none within the computable window, so nothing was found for a dated golden or death cross.

What would change this read

• – A weekly close back below EMA20 at 250.03 would weaken the current bullish read.
• – A move back below EMA50 at 234.09 would show loss of intermediate-week strength.
• – Any future EMA50/EMA200 cross would matter, since the current data reports none within the computable window.

MACD vs signal line: MACD is 10.67 and signal is 10.19, so MACD is above signal by 0.48. The last signal-line crossover was bullish on 2026-06-01, 18 weeks ago.

Histogram: The histogram is 0.4765, so it is positive. The 4-bar change is -0.7899, which means momentum is decelerating even though it remains above zero.

Zero-line position: MACD is above zero. The last zero-line cross was bullish on 2026-06-08, 17 weeks ago. This is a separate signal from the signal-line crossover and it confirms the weekly MACD is on the bullish side of the zero line.

Divergence checks:

• – Bearish divergence check: none. Nothing was found in the last two price pivots; specifically, 2026-08-17 close 264.96 / macd 10.7858 -> 2026-09-21 close 264.34 / macd 11.0114 does not register as bearish divergence.
• – Bullish divergence check: bullish. The reported pivots are 2026-07-06 close 248.08 / macd 7.2025 -> 2026-08-03 close 246.04 / macd 9.8001.

What would change this read:

• – A weekly MACD move below 10.1936 would remove the current bullish alignment with the signal line.
• – A histogram move from 0.4765 to negative would show loss of positive weekly momentum.
• – A MACD move back below zero would negate the current above-zero weekly posture.

• – Current RSI and state: The weekly RSI(14) is 61.67, which is neutral, not overbought and not oversold.
• – Direction over the last four weeks: RSI rose from 59.83 four bars ago to 61.67 now.
• – Most recent 70/30 band event: It fell back below 70 on 2025-10-13, 51 bars ago.
• – Divergence checks: Nothing was found on either check. Bearish divergence was none, using 2026-08-17 close 264.96 / rsi 64.6 to 2026-09-21 close 264.34 / rsi 62.77. Bullish divergence was none, using 2026-07-06 close 248.08 / rsi 61.39 to 2026-08-03 close 246.04 / rsi 57.48.

What would change this read

• – A move to RSI above 70 would change the state to overbought.
• – A move to RSI at or below 30 would change the state to oversold.
• – A drop back under 59.83 would reverse the current 4-bar rising direction.

• – ATR value and percentage: The weekly ATR(14) is 12.79, which is 4.87% of the latest weekly close of 262.82. That means the stock’s typical weekly movement is about 4.87% of price based on the last 14 weeks.
• – Volatility versus eight weeks ago: Volatility is contracting. ATR(14) has moved from 14.44 eight bars ago to 12.79 now.
• – 1x and 2x ATR bands: The 1x ATR band from the close is 250.03 to 275.61, which describes a normal expected weekly range around the latest close. The 2x ATR band is 237.23 to 288.41, which describes a wider expected weekly range. These are expected range bands, not price forecasts.

What would change this read

• – If ATR(14) rises back above 14.44, the contraction call would weaken.
• – If ATR(14) falls further below 12.79, the contraction would be confirmed more strongly.
• – If weekly movement starts extending beyond the 1x ATR band from 250.03 to 275.61, that would indicate a larger-than-normal weekly range.

• – 52-week high: 269.39, set on 2026-09-21.
• – 52-week low: 190.75, set on 2026-04-27.

52-week range:

Distance from each extreme

• – Latest weekly close is 2.44% below the 52-week high.
• – Latest weekly close is 37.78% above the 52-week low.

What the range position says

• – At 91.6% of the 52-week range, ABBV is in the upper end of its weekly cycle, much closer to the high than the low.
• – The midpoint of 230.07 is well below the latest weekly close of 262.82, confirming the stock is positioned in the upper half of the range.

What would change this read

• – A weekly close below 230.07 would move ABBV back toward the range midpoint and weaken the current upper-range position.
• – A move to 269.39 would put the stock at the 52-week high and confirm the current strength at the top of the range.
• – A break toward 190.75 would materially reverse the current range structure by returning price to the 52-week low area.
