Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what WDAY's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. WDAY trades near $113.04, below its 50-day average ($127.72) and 200-day average ($179.64). Price below both averages is a downtrend — momentum is against buyers for now.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 23 it is oversold — selling has been heavy and a bounce is possible.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. WDAY's is $7.17 (~6.3% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month WDAY found buyers near $116.55 (support) and sellers near $158.64 (resistance); its 52-week range is $110.36–$249.85. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.9× the 20-day average — heavier than usual, which adds conviction to the move. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

The case for WDAY:
- Revenue is growing 13.3% a year, a sign of real demand.
- A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.4x) lowers risk.
