Rio Tinto bounces 8.3%, but money flow still says no

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

Rio Tinto's Sell signal has been under management for 7 weeks, and this week flips the script: the stock drops 6.2% as sellers retake 96% of the volume, after buyers had been in control at 88% last week. Money flow turns negative and the MACD deteriorates again. For anyone tracking Rio Tinto stock — one of the mining stocks worth watching — through weekly technical analysis, the decline regains momentum after weeks of stalling.

This week's summary

Rio Tinto flips the script: the week closes up 8.3%, with a 7% bounce off the daily 20-day moving average and buyers retaking 95% of the volume. But money flow tells a different story: it has stayed negative for nine straight weeks and keeps deteriorating, and that same buying push already shows signs of fading. For anyone tracking Rio Tinto stock through weekly technical analysis, the Sell signal, active for 8 weeks, stays under watch.
