A reversal of the long-term trend would be signaled by a golden cross, where the weekly EMA50 crosses back above the weekly EMA200.

MACD versus Signal Line

The weekly MACD is at -4.92, which is above its signal line of -9.92, indicating a bullish posture. The last signal-line crossover was bullish on 2026-07-27, 9 weeks ago.

Histogram

The histogram is positive at 5.01. However, the 4-bar change of -2.37 indicates that positive momentum is decelerating.

Zero-Line Position

The MACD is below zero at -4.92, suggesting that the longer-term trend remains bearish. The last zero-line cross was bearish on 2026-02-02, 34 weeks ago. This is a distinct signal from the more recent signal-line crossover, as the zero-line cross reflects a shift in the overall trend direction, while the signal-line crossover indicates short-term momentum shifts within that trend.

What would change this read

• – A future weekly ATR(14) reading that rises above 19.45 would indicate a shift to expanding volatility.

With the stock positioned at 33.5% within its 52-week range (where 0% is the low and 100% is the high), ACN is trading in the lower third of its yearly price spectrum. This indicates that the stock is currently in a weaker phase of its longer weekly cycle, trading significantly below its recent peak and closer to its yearly low. The midpoint of the 52-week range is 204.62, and the current price is well below this level.

What would change this read

A move above the midpoint of the 52-week range at 204.62 would suggest a shift towards a more neutral or potentially bullish sentiment. Conversely, a break below the 52-week low of 118.15 would signal further downside momentum. A strong rally to challenge the 52-week high of 291.09 would indicate a significant reversal in the longer weekly cycle.
