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 3.6% below the recent estimated cost basis of 204.12, so the recent structure is still leaning under pressure. Price is in the lower half of the main cost band (193.90 to 203.52), so price support and pullback behavior matter more than immediate upside follow-through. The next lower support area sits around 194.91 to 196.10. It looks more like a first buffer than a major floor. The higher up selling area sits around 203.86 to 204.37, so rebounds may begin to slow as price pushes into that zone. About 87% of recent positioning remains under water, which usually makes rallies harder to sustain. From a trading point of view, the structure is still best read by comparing price with the main cost band first, then watching whether the lower support zone or higher supply zone becomes the next directional checkpoint.

Why Price Reactions May Be Stronger?

Days-to-Cover is elevated versus its own history, but absolute short interest remains moderate. In the latest reporting period, short interest continues to increase. Adaptive thresholds applied to liquidity weakness, near-high detection, and compression sensitivity. 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 2026-02-27 (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.
