Applied Digital stock drops 12.8% as sellers retake control

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Applied Digital climbs for the second week running, another 6.8% after last week's 6.7%. But the technical picture hasn't changed: buyers barely hold the majority, 55% of volume, and money flow stays negative. On the daily chart the stock stacks higher lows, from the 23 area to the 28 area, while weekly price stays boxed between support in the 30.9 area and resistance in the 32.4 area. Applied Digital stock remains under a sell signal active for 6 weeks, up 5.63% for shorts.

This week's summary

After two weeks of rebounding, Applied Digital stock is giving ground again: down 12.8% this past week, with sellers making up 89% of volume and a bearish engulfing bar on the daily chart swallowing the prior candle whole. The technical picture flipped in just a few sessions: RSI and momentum both fading, MACD still below its Signal line for eight straight weeks. The Sell signal on Applied Digital has now reached its 8th week, up 17.7% for those already short.
