The structural read
What price action says about ACN.
ACN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth — down -36.4% from its rolling 252-day high.
Cross-confirmation: also showing 4/5 bearish time frames.
Alongside that decline, our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames — moderate or strong time-frame-continuity (TFC) alignment — so the ticker also carries a Recovering badge. The two readings coexist: the tier tells you how deep the damage is, the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. Recovering is not a buy signal; it's a structural read.
Broken Stocks stops here — it flags the structure, it doesn't build the upside case. Working out whether ACN's turn is investable is what our sister tool does: ConvictionEdge — triple-engine conviction research on names showing a recovery signal.
Upstream TFC read: moderate alignment, current phase weekly. Last bar types — daily 2U (red), weekly 3 (green), monthly 2U (green).

Questions about ACN
What people ask.
Why is ACN on Broken Stocks?
ACN qualifies for the Amber List on decline depth. It is down -36.4% from its rolling 252-day high of $285.21, set on 2026-01-14 — 218d ago. It additionally carries a Recovering badge — see below.
What does the Recovering badge mean for ACN?
Recovering means our proprietary engine has flagged a confirmed bullish structural signal on one or more time frames (moderate or strong time-frame continuity). It coexists with the decline tier — ACN is still Amber List because the rolling-252-day decline hasn't healed, but a bullish setup has formed inside that decline. The two readings answer different questions: the tier tells you how deep the damage is; the Recovering badge tells you whether momentum may be turning. It's not a buy recommendation.
Is ACN a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. ACN is down -36.4% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 218d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. ACN is still on the Amber List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is ACN a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is ACN trading inside its 52-week range?
At $181.35, ACN sits 36.5% of the way from its 52-week low ($118.15) to its 52-week high ($291.09). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has ACN been declining?
The current 36.4% decline accrued over 218d, which annualizes to roughly -60.9% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does ACN compare to its sector?
There are 239 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 148 Red, 49 Amber, 42 Watch, with 64 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -36.8% — ACN's decline is shallower than the sector median.
Does ACN's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-09-24) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
