Next-day directional probability forecast Last updated: 2026-03-25 (ET)
Next-session outlook for 2026-03-26 (ET)
Mild bearish lean, but not actionable

What the model sees

The model still sees a directional lean, but the edge is not thick enough after adjusting for reward/risk.


Why the model says this

The model does not deploy this setup because the directional lean exists, but the edge is still not thick enough after risk adjustment and reward/risk remains too thin at -0.09 after adjustment. Predictability is 42%, agreement is 93%, and reversal risk is 18%.

NOTE: This next-day up/down probability forecast module is still being tested for accuracy. Please do not rely on it for investment decisions. The model does not account for black swan events or company-specific fundamental news, and its estimates are based solely on technical conditions, capital flow, and market sentiment.

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 trading 7.7% below the recent estimated cost basis of 2.22, so the recent structure is still leaning under pressure. Price is below the main cost band (2.10 to 2.19), and roughly 95% of recent positioning remains under water. That means rebounds can still run into supply from trapped holders. The nearby support area sits around 2.04 to 2.05. It looks more like a first buffer than a major floor. The next higher selling area sits around 2.06 to 2.07, and overhead supply looks fairly concentrated there. From a trading point of view, this setup remains tougher until price can reclaim the lower edge of the main cost band near 2.10.

Price is already trending lower (20D return -22.6%). The current configuration reflects active downside pressure rather than latent structural fragility.

Risk Summary

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. In the latest reporting period, short interest continues to increase. 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.
