Iridium stock slips 2.4% as sellers retake control

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Iridium's rebound loses steam: after last week's 5.5% surge, this week closes with a modest 0.5% gain, right against the first resistance in the 50.7 area. Four straight higher daily lows, from the 44 area to the 49 area, confirm buyers regaining ground: for our model the Sell signal is heading toward exhaustion, with strength at 2 out of 100. Iridium stock remains 51.8% above its 200-week average, boxed into a tight range — weekly technical analysis backs it up.

This week's summary

Iridium stock's rebound stalls: after 3 weeks of gains that pushed it up against resistance in the 51 area, this week it gives back 2.4%, with sellers back in control at 65% of weekly volume. Money flow stays negative for a 6th straight week and the ADX keeps sliding — the trend is losing conviction, as the weekly technical analysis confirms. On the daily chart, price bounces off the 20-day average, in the 49 area, though the bounce looks weak.
