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 below the recent estimated cost basis of 11.86, so the recent structure is still leaning somewhat under pressure. Price is in the upper half of the main cost band (10.90 to 11.78), which is usually a healthier short-term location because price is holding the stronger side of recent trading activity. Recent positioning looks fairly balanced, with 44% in profit and 56% under water. From a trading point of view, the most useful read is to compare price with the main cost band first, because there is no especially clear nearby support or overhead cluster right now.
