Fortis drops 3.1% as the decline starts making lower lows

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Fortis stock closes the week up 1%, with a bullish daily engulfing candle confirming buyer strength into the close. Right as that happens, our model triggers a fresh sell signal — but a low-conviction one: signal strength reads just 2 out of 100. The stock is still hugging its highs, a level already tested several times: any entry only makes sense on a pullback.

This week's summary

Fortis drops 3.1% this week and the technical picture flips: after last week's bullish push, sellers now dominate the latest candle in a decisive way, even as volume keeps contracting. The stock still sits above its 50-week moving average and close to highs already tested several times — an area our model says is worth attacking only on a pullback, not with a direct entry.
