The eight-day simple moving average (SMA) is at $279.76, while the 20-day SMA is at $287.43 and the 50-day SMA is at $281.67, creating a bearish outlook since the stock is consistently below these important levels. Conversely, the 200-day SMA at $276.13 might indicate a hint of long-term recovery.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at -2.42 points to negative momentum, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 40.45 shows the stock nearing oversold conditions but still within bearish range.

Investors are advised to proceed cautiously, as technical indicators suggest that FedEx stock may continue to face bearish pressures.
