MA stock price: Technical overview
Mastercard (MA) was last trading at $560.48 as of 10:01am (UTC) on 29 October 2025, remaining below its 10-, 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day simple moving averages, clustered around ~567 / 569 / 579 / 572 / 560. The absence of a 20-over-50 crossover and consecutive closes below short- and medium-term averages suggest limited directional momentum, while the 200-day average near 560 provides an initial long-term reference point.
Momentum indicators are largely neutral, with RSI(14) at 45.9 and ADX(14) at 16.8, indicating a weak trend. On the upside, the nearest pivot resistance sits at 593, with the 601–616 range in focus on further upward movement. Initial support aligns with the Classic Pivot at 578, followed by the 200-day average near 560. A sustained break below this level could open the way toward the 554–546 area in the medium term.
