International Business Machines Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 14, 2026 Loss -2.03%

The International Business Machines stock price fell by -2.91% on the last day (Friday, 17th Jul 2026) from $219.05 to $212.67. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.31% from a day low at $210.22 to a day high of $217.17. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -26.54% for this period. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -11 million shares and in total, 12 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.50 billion.

The stock has broken the very wide and strong rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $212.69. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.

IBM Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.696%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The International Business Machines stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $247.58 and $274.81. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
