IBM gains 0.6%: buyers retake volume control as the decline loses steam

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

After last week's rebound, IBM stock is giving ground again: -1.2% over the week just closed, with sellers retaking control of volume at 74%, reversing last week's 99% buyer dominance. The technical picture for IBM stays mixed: weekly RSI parked mid-range, ADX still fading, momentum accelerating sharply to the downside. On the daily chart, the sequence of higher lows from the 199 area toward the 232 area still holds.

This week's summary

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.
