Delta Air Lines drops 7.8% as the MACD breaks bearish after 15 weeks

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Delta Air Lines stock slips 2.2% this week and sellers regain control on the final weekly bar: after last week's unconvincing rally, the tone turns cautious again. On the daily chart, though, the sequence of higher lows from the 81 area to the 88 area hasn't broken. The buy signal, triggered last week, closes its first confirmation week lower, and our model suggests holding the position unchanged: the price is still hugging its highs, already tested multiple times.

This week's summary

Delta Air Lines stock slips 7.8% this week and the picture flips: seven days ago it was still a buy signal in confirmation, now it's a fresh sell signal, fifth by strength among the 93 US stock sell signals. Sellers dominated the last bar to an extreme and the stock has entered a distribution phase, with the weekly MACD just dropping below its signal line after 15 weeks above it. Weekly technical analysis flags trading as not recommended for a fresh entry.
