AXP stock price: Technical overview

On the daily chart, AXP continues to trade above its key moving average cluster – the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) – positioned around 334 / 331 / 312 / 299. The 20-over-50 alignment remains intact, keeping the short-term trend broadly stable. Momentum appears balanced, with the RSI (14) at 52.4, sitting in the upper-neutral range.

The first resistance area to monitor is near the 334 pivot; a daily close above this level could bring the 360 region into focus. On the downside, initial support lies around the 319 pivot, followed by the 100-DMA near 312. A decisive move below the 100-DMA may open the way toward the 299 area (TradingView, 7 October 2025).
