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 3.2% below the recent estimated cost basis of 37.53, so the recent structure is still leaning under pressure. Price is below the main cost band (36.47 to 37.25), and roughly 97% of recent positioning remains under water. That means rebounds can still run into supply from trapped holders. The nearby selling area sits around 36.34 to 36.45, 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 36.47.
