Recent Cost Distribution Last updated: 2026-03-25 (ET)

This reading is based on the last 20 trading days of 15-minute price, volume, and VWAP data. Price is modestly below the recent estimated cost basis of 6.40, so the recent structure is still leaning somewhat under pressure. Price is in the lower half of the main cost band (6.22 to 6.34), so price support and pullback behavior matter more than immediate upside follow-through. The higher up selling area sits around 6.37 to 6.46, and overhead supply looks fairly concentrated there. Roughly 70% of recent positioning remains under water, so rebound attempts can still run into supply from trapped holders. From a trading point of view, the main question is whether rebounds remain healthy enough to reach and absorb the higher overhead supply zone.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Average trading volume is weakening, indicating contracting liquidity. Price action is compressing (range is tightening), which can make breaks more sensitive. Adaptive thresholds applied to liquidity weakness, near-high detection, and compression sensitivity. As a result, similar news or market events could lead to price moves about 1× larger than usual.


Note: Short interest data is reported every two weeks by FINRA. The most recent snapshot is 2026-02-27 (ET).
Because this data updates slowly, it is not intended to predict short-term price moves. Instead, it helps describe longer-term market structure and where pressure may be building if prices begin to move.
