Next-day directional probability forecast Last updated: 2026-04-07 (ET)
Next-session outlook for 2026-04-08 (ET)
Bullish setup for the next session

What the model sees

The model sees a bullish edge, with 61.2% upside probability and a still-actionable balance between confirmation and reversal risk.


Why the model says this

Up probability is 61.2%, with predictability at 45% and signal agreement at 93%. Reversal risk is 21%. That suggests the directional case is supported by broad confirmation and still retains usable quality. At the same time, recent price behavior has shown failed reversal memory.

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: 2026-04-07 (ET)

This reading is based on the last 20 trading days of 15-minute price, volume, and VWAP data. Price is trading 4.1% above the recent estimated cost basis of 23.66, which keeps the recent cost structure in a clearly stronger position. Price is in the upper half of the main cost band (23.24 to 24.76), which is usually a healthier short-term location because price is holding the stronger side of recent trading activity. The lower down support area sits around 23.30 to 23.63. It looks more like a first buffer than a major floor. The higher up selling area sits around 25.00 to 25.06. There is also a nearby thin-trading zone above between 24.76 and 24.97, so moves can travel faster if price enters that area. About 76% of recent positioning is in profit, so the recent structure is still supported by holders who are not under immediate pressure. The main cost band is fairly wide relative to recent ATR, so this structure may behave less cleanly than a tighter setup. From a trading point of view, the trend still has support, but because the main support sits lower down around 23.30 to 23.63, the key is whether pullbacks remain controlled before dropping back into that zone.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. 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 2026-03-13 (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.
