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 above the recent estimated cost basis of 1373.34, so the recent structure is still on the firmer side. Price is above the main cost band (1371.16 to 1388.07), and about 79% of recent positioning is already in profit. That supports trend strength, but it also raises the chance of profit-taking if momentum cools. The lower down support area sits around 1345.15 to 1352.95, and it still looks fairly solid. Recent trading is fairly concentrated, so the nearby heavy zones may matter more than usual. From a trading point of view, the trend still has support, but because the main support sits lower down around 1345.15 to 1352.95, the key is whether pullbacks remain controlled before dropping back into that zone.

Short Interest & Covering Risk for ASML

This analysis looks at overall short interest positioning, focusing on the broader setup rather than short-term noise.

Structure Analysis

ASML Short positioning looks normal. Current days to cover is 1.0 trading days, meaning short positions would unwind somewhat slower than average. Short covering is likely to have a normal impact on price moves. Price is already trending lower (20D return -8.7%). The current configuration reflects active downside pressure rather than latent structural fragility.

Risk Summary

No clear bull trap characteristics detected. Recent price behavior remains broadly consistent with current positioning.This reading helps confirm that current price action remains structurally healthy and does not indicate elevated trap risk.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. Average trading volume is weakening, indicating contracting liquidity. 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.
