Why the market looks this way?

Longer-Term Market Trend (Mid to Long Term)

Shows the bigger market trend, how strong it is, and where risks may start to build over the next few weeks or months. — Updated as of 2026-02-06 (ET)

As of 2026-02-06, FOLD is moving sideways with low volatility. Over the longer term, the trend remains bullish.

FOLD last closed at 14.30. The price is about 0.1 ATR above its recent average price (14.28), and the market is currently in a sideways market with low volatility.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

In the latest reporting period, short interest continues to increase. Price is consolidating near highs with a weak upward bias, appearing strong on the surface but structurally more fragile. 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 2026-01-15 (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.
