Let’s look at what the charts indicate for NXPI stock and how the stock currently maps against Wall Street estimates.

However, the short-term technical picture is a mixed bag. With NXPI’s eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $242.78, a bearish tone prevails. Yet, the 20-day SMA sits just below the current price at $238.01, flashing a bullish signal, as does the 50-day SMA of $237.48, indicating a slight technical rebound.
Conversely, the long-term 200-day SMA at $247.70 reinforces the broader bearish stance.
Supporting this mixed scenario, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator of 1.42 shows bullish momentum, while a Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 49.81, and declining, suggests that NXPI stock is headings towards being oversold.
With indicators sending both bearish and bullish signals, NXP’s chart implies potential upside for patient investors if buying pressure can overcome the current bearish trend.
