COST stock price: Technical overview
On the daily chart, Costco (COST) remains below its key moving-average cluster – 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at approximately 955, 958, 976 and 981 – with shorter-term averages positioned beneath longer-term ones. Momentum is subdued: the 14-day RSI is around 43.7, indicating a neutral stance, while the ADX at 10.9 signals a weak trend.
