Nvidia stock drops 4.6% ahead of earnings as sellers take back control

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

After last week's 11.6% surge, Nvidia stock is slowing down: the confirmation week closes with a modest +0.5%, holding the highs area without yet attacking resistance at 227.5. The session's volume still favors sellers, a small caution flag inside an otherwise solid weekly picture. Our weekly technical analysis is tracking the structure's hold closely, with earnings due in two weeks adding weight to the timing.

This week's summary

Nvidia stock drops 4.6% in the week just closed: after early August's 11.6% surge, sellers are back in control, with volumes contracting and buyer dominance visibly collapsing. The buy signal is still active, in its second week, but this week's earnings report weighs on the timing. Our weekly technical analysis is tracking the structure's hold closely in a picture that is still bullish but more fragile.
