HP Inc. slips 1.3% but the buy signal holds above recent highs

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

After last week's 10% jump, HP Inc. stock slows its pace but stays glued to its recent highs, already tested once in the past ten weeks: breakout tension building. Weekly technical analysis backs the bullish picture — ADX rising, MACD above its signal line — even as candle bodies fade a touch. The buy signal, which fired three weeks ago, is holding: IQS in tension, signal strength high and wide-moving.

This week's summary

HP Inc. slows down after last week's jump, but the bullish picture holds: the buy signal is in its 4th week, with IQS at 64 and signal strength at 70 out of 100. The price has already tested recent highs once in ten weeks, and a few technical caveats call for monitoring: contracting volumes and an indecisive phase. The stop now sits at breakeven, zeroing out the risk, while quarterly earnings land this very week.
