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 968.33, so the recent structure is still on the firmer side. Price is above the main cost band (962.97 to 976.61), and about 83% of recent positioning is already in profit. That supports trend strength, but it also raises the chance of profit-taking if momentum cools. The next lower support area sits around 951.74 to 978.22, and it still looks fairly solid. The nearby selling area sits around 983.03 to 985.44, so rebounds may begin to slow as price pushes into that zone. Recent trading is fairly concentrated, so the nearby heavy zones may matter more than usual. From a trading point of view, the key is whether rebounds can absorb the first nearby overhead zone before the lower support area comes back into focus.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. 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.
