Next-day directional probability forecast Last updated: 2026-04-07 (ET)
Next-session outlook for 2026-04-08 (ET)
Mild bearish lean, but not actionable

What the model sees

The model still sees a directional lean, but the edge is not thick enough after adjusting for reward/risk.


Why the model says this

The model does not deploy this setup because the directional lean exists, but the edge is still not thick enough after risk adjustment, reward/risk remains too thin at -0.12 after adjustment, the setup already looks stretched, recent price behavior has shown failed reversal memory, and there is meaningful next-session pullback or digestion risk. Predictability is 51%, agreement is 100%, and reversal risk is 36%.

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 14.2% below the recent estimated cost basis of 10.68, so the recent structure is still leaning under pressure. Price is below the main cost band (9.93 to 10.64), and roughly 99% of recent positioning remains under water. That means rebounds can still run into supply from trapped holders. The broader structure still looks stretched on the weak side, so recovery attempts may need more proof before improving the tone. The higher up selling area sits around 10.01 to 10.59, so rebounds may begin to slow as price pushes into that zone. 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, this setup remains tougher until price can reclaim the lower edge of the main cost band near 9.93.

Short Interest & Covering Risk for SMR

This analysis looks at overall short interest positioning, focusing on the broader setup rather than short-term noise.

Price vs 20-Day High Below Recent Highs

Short Exposure Percentile

Structure Analysis

SMR Short positioning looks normal. Current days to cover is 2.7 trading days, meaning short positions could unwind at a normal pace. Short covering is likely to have a normal impact on price moves. Price is already trending lower (20D return -24.7%). The current configuration reflects active downside pressure rather than latent structural fragility.

Risk Summary

No clear bull trap characteristics detected. Recent price behavior remains broadly consistent with current positioning.This reading helps confirm that current price action remains structurally healthy and does not indicate elevated trap risk.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

In the latest reporting period, short interest continues to increase. Average trading volume is weakening, indicating contracting liquidity. Adaptive thresholds applied to liquidity weakness, near-high detection, and compression sensitivity. Rising short pressure is occurring while liquidity is deteriorating. 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.
