Over the past year, Graco has experienced a high of $95.69 and a low of $75.91, indicating some volatility in its trading range. In terms of technical indicators, the weekly and monthly MACD readings suggest a mildly bearish sentiment, while the Bollinger Bands show a sideways trend on a monthly basis. The daily moving averages, however, indicate a mildly bullish outlook, presenting a mixed technical picture. Notably, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows no significant signals for both weekly and monthly periods, suggesting a lack of momentum in either direction.
