AppLovin stock drops 3.1% as the decline eases but sellers stay in control

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

AppLovin stock drops another 9% and stays locked in its decline: the price now trades in a tight band between the daily pivot point, in the 317 area, and the recent low, in the 303 area. Sellers still control the week, though with less weight than seven days ago (74% versus 86% previously), while cash flow stays in sharp distribution. The sell signal, under management for 7 weeks, now puts the short at 33.88% in the money.

This week's summary

AppLovin stock stays in a clear decline, but the pace is easing: after last week's 9% drop, this week closes down 3.1%, with the price pinned between the 7-day low, in the 298 area, and the 7-day high, in the 326 area. Distribution stays heavy — sellers still account for 72% of volume — but money flow, worsening for weeks, has stopped deteriorating further. Our weekly technical analysis keeps tracking the sell signal's evolution.
