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 above the recent estimated cost basis of 100.81, so the recent structure is still on the firmer side. Price is above the main cost band (95.44 to 99.67), which keeps the recent structure constructive, although extension risk starts to matter more from here. The lower down support area sits around 100.22 to 101.31. It looks more like a first buffer than a major floor. Recent positioning looks fairly balanced, with 63% in profit and 37% under water. From a trading point of view, the main question is whether pullbacks remain controlled before price falls back into the lower support zone.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. Average trading volume is weakening, indicating contracting liquidity.

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.
