Archer Aviation stock drops 4.8% as confirmation week turns bearish, though the weekly MACD keeps improving

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Archer Aviation closed the week with an 18.4% surge, climbing back toward its 50-week moving average after weeks of weakness. That move triggered a fresh buy signal on Archer Aviation stock, good for 9th place among the 27 fresh US Long signals — but for now it's watch-only: our model is waiting for a breakout above the 7-day high before treating it as tradable.

This week's summary

Archer Aviation closes the week down 4.8%, with buyer dominance fading and a distribution phase underway: three warning signs in this week's price action. The weekly MACD stays above its Signal line and keeps improving, though the price remains below its 50-week moving average. The fresh buy signal that fired last week is now facing its first real test.
