IBM closes the week flat (+0.0%): a fresh buy signal, but the model urges caution

August 28, 2026

Our view last week

After last week's pullback, IBM is climbing again: +0.6% over the past week, with buyers retaking control of volume at 73%, reversing last week's 74% seller dominance. Momentum turns higher after five straight weeks of decline, but money flow stays negative and ADX keeps falling: the decline is losing force, not yet done.

This week's summary

IBM stock bounces firmly off its own daily 20-day average, in the 234 area, after touching near the 229 area. Our technical analysis shows the weekly picture staying fragile, with price still below its 50-week average and boxed into a tight range between the 235 and 240 area. Our model triggers a fresh buy signal among this week's US stocks picks, but classifies the opening as high risk for now.
