The US technology sector, a consistent focus for active traders and investors, recently displayed notable shifts as three key players – Lam Research (LRCX), Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), and Nvidia (NVDA) – saw their momentum profiles turn distinctly bullish according to AltraOne's multi-timeframe analysis. This collective move comes amidst an 'Improving' Altra Market environment and with the USTECH sector currently holding the top rank with a strong 74.0 Altra Sector score, signaling a confirmed leader exhibiting accelerating relative strength. The sector's relative strength RSI stands at 63.5, indicating robust performance compared to its peers.
To understand these shifts, it's helpful to briefly define key terms. The Altra Score, a 0-100 momentum metric, assesses a stock's bullishness based on Exponential Moving Average (EMA) alignment and Relative Strength Index (RSI) trends across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes. A higher score indicates stronger bullish momentum. Similarly, the Altra Market score reflects overall market breadth by tracking the percentage of stocks positioned above key EMAs, providing a read on the market's underlying texture. And the Altra Sector score applies this analysis to individual sectors, providing a momentum reading and a relative strength rank against other sectors within the same market.
With the broader US market showing improving breadth (over 65% of stocks above their 200-day EMA, and the Altra Market score at 58.3 with a +1.8 trend over the past 15 days), the conditions appear conducive for selective, high-quality setups. The advance-decline line showed 200 advances against 303 declines, suggesting a market that is improving but still warrants selectivity, particularly within leading segments like USTECH.
Lam Research (LRCX)
Lam Research experienced a significant momentum shift on July 14, 2026, with its Altra Score jumping from a 'Bearish' 36.3 to a 'Bullish' 60.6. This marked change positions LRCX within a powerful leading sector. The stock's price is currently positioned above key EMAs across multiple timeframes, a technical setup often associated with sustained upward price trends. Furthermore, LRCX recorded a bullish Weekly EMA Crossover on May 30, 2025, where a shorter-term EMA crosses above a longer-term one, typically indicating strengthening upward momentum.
The Altra Score's calculation considers the stock's RSI readings, which reflect the speed and change of price movements. For LRCX, the weekly RSI stands at 65.53 and the monthly RSI is robust at 72.91, suggesting strong underlying upward momentum on these longer timeframes, even as the daily RSI is a more neutral 48.62. This top-down alignment in EMA placement, combined with strong longer-term RSI values, supports its shift into the bullish regime. Given that the USTECH sector is a confirmed leader with accelerating relative strength and a #1 rank, LRCX's individual momentum turn further contributes to the sector's overall strength and aligns with the broader market's improving texture.
Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR)
Monolithic Power Systems also registered a notable turnaround on July 14, 2026, moving from a 'Bearish' Altra Score of 25.4 to a 'Bullish' 61.5. This significant rise highlights a positive change in its technical posture. Like LRCX, MPWR's price is also situated above its key EMAs, underscoring a trend of positive price action across multiple timeframes. A bullish Weekly EMA Crossover was identified on June 6, 2025, further validating the stock's improving technical backdrop.
Examining its RSI values, MPWR presents a daily RSI of 47.66, a weekly RSI of 53.42, and a strong monthly RSI of 70.13. The robust monthly RSI suggests sustained bullish interest over a longer period, while the weekly RSI is moving into more positive territory. The top-down aligned EMA placement indicates that positive momentum is converging across different timeframes, offering a cohesive bullish signal. This positive momentum shift for MPWR aligns well with the USTECH sector's strong performance, given its top rank and 'Bullish' 74.0 Altra Sector score. The sector's accelerating relative strength, reflected in its positive EMA spread, further reinforces the potential for continued strength in its constituents.
Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia, a critical bellwether for the semiconductor industry, saw its Altra Score ascend dramatically from a 'Neutral' 55.2 to a 'Strong Bullish' 92.1 on July 14, 2026, indicating a powerful acceleration in momentum. This substantial jump positions NVDA as a clear leader within the already strong USTECH sector. Its price remains firmly above key EMAs across daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes, and a bullish Weekly EMA Crossover was observed on May 30, 2025, similar to LRCX, signaling robust upward trend characteristics.
NVDA's RSI figures reflect this heightened momentum: a daily RSI of 56.39, a weekly RSI of 57.62, and a solid monthly RSI of 68.03. These readings, particularly the monthly RSI, suggest persistent buying interest and strong price appreciation over extended periods. The stock's top-down aligned EMA placement confirms that positive momentum is cohesive and strong across daily, weekly, and monthly views, indicating a well-supported trend. Considering the US market is in an 'Improving' phase with improving breadth metrics and the USTECH sector is a confirmed leader with a 74.0 Altra Sector score, NVDA's move to 'Strong Bullish' further solidifies the bullish outlook for the technology segment and underscores the sector's current leadership role and accelerating momentum.
