VTI slips 1.5%, snapping a 3-week rally, but the trend holds

August 21, 2026

Our view last week

VTI, the ETF that tracks the entire US stock market, closed the week up 0.5% and remains within a whisker of its all-time highs. Money flow is accelerating and momentum has nearly tripled in seven days, while the weekly structure confirms zero warning signals across its 11 price-action components. The highs, though, have been tested multiple times: an entry today only makes sense on a pullback. The trade, open for 18 weeks, is up 14.56% since entry.

This week's summary

VTI, the ETF that tracks the entire US stock market, breaks a 3-week winning streak: the week closes down 1.5%, with sellers back in control of trading at 76% after weeks dominated by buyers. Money flow still stays positive for a 15th straight week, and momentum keeps accelerating. Last week we flagged that the highs, tested multiple times, called for caution on new entries: this first pullback moves in that direction.
