AMD drops 8% in a whipsaw week, but the daily hammer signals rejection

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

After sinking 8.8% two weeks ago and a sluggish week where sellers kept control of the volume, AMD stock strikes back: a 7% rebound off the daily EMA20, in the 494 area, a 6.4% weekly surge, and buyers back in charge of 99% of the trading. Money flow has flipped positive, but momentum stays weak and the trend is losing conviction. The trade now sits at 110% profit since entry.

This week's summary

After last week's 6.4% rebound, with buyers commanding 99% of the trading, AMD stock gives ground back: -8.0% this week, and sellers are back in charge of 77% of the volume. Money flow flipped negative, and the MACD stays below its signal line. But the daily candle tells a different story: a strong hammer, wick three times the body, the classic downside rejection signal — with the price boxed between the 471 area and the 481 area in AMD's technical analysis.
