Market Trend Overview for SATS
One model, two time views: what the market looks like right now, and where the larger trend is heading over time.
This model looks at how prices behave over time to describe the current market environment. It focuses on whether price is moving steadily, stalling, or losing momentum, and checks both short-term and weekly trends for confirmation. The goal is not to predict exact prices, but to help understand when conditions are supportive, risky, or unclear.
Current Market Context (Short-Term)
As of 2026-02-06 (ET), SATS is moving sideways. Price at 111.61 is close to support near 109.57. Moves may slow down, and resistance is near 122.99. View Support & Resistance from Options
Why the market looks this way?

Structure Analysis
SATS Short positioning looks normal. Current days to cover is 4.1 trading days, meaning short positions could unwind at a normal pace. Short covering is likely to have a normal impact on price moves.
Bull Trap Structural Risk
