LULU Stock Technical Setup Ahead Of Q4 Earnings

Chart created using Benzinga Pro

Lululemon is caught in a tug-of-war between bearish momentum and emerging bullish signals. The stock remains below its 5-, 20-, and 50-day exponential moving averages, reinforcing a strong bearish trend. However, slight buying pressure is beginning to surface, hinting at a potential shift in sentiment.

LULU stock, at $337.79 has climbed above its eight-day simple moving average of $329.61 and its 20-day simple moving average of $334.50—both bullish indicators. Additionally, trading above its 200-day simple moving average of $318.16 suggests that Lululemon still holds a long-term uptrend despite short-term weakness.

Yet, the bearish case remains strong. The 50-day simple moving average sits significantly higher at $367.34, keeping LULU in a technical downtrend.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at a negative 10.29 further signals ongoing bearish momentum, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 46.4 reflects neutral territory, leaving room for further downside. Investors should watch for a break above the 50-day moving average to confirm a sustained rebound, while failure to hold above the 20-day moving average could invite more downside pressure.
