Why the market looks this way?

Over the past several sessions, prices have mostly moved lower. The broader weekly trend is also pointing down. This suggests sellers remain in control, and buying carries higher risk right now.

Longer-Term Market Trend (Mid to Long Term)

Shows the bigger market trend, how strong it is, and where risks may start to build over the next few weeks or months. — Updated as of 2026-02-06 (ET)

As of 2026-02-06, ZS is showing signs of slowing down. Over the longer term, the trend remains bearish.

ZS last closed at 167.33. The price is about 3.3 ATR below its recent average price (194.28), and the market is currently in a trend that may be losing strength.

The downtrend is well established, but price is stretched, raising the risk of short-term bounces.

Trend Alignment Summary

Trend score: 45 out of 100. Overall alignment is unclear. The market is currently in a late-stage trend that may be losing strength. The longer-term trend is still negative, but short-term signals are not yet confirming it.

Pullback Risk

Price is far from its recent average (about 3.3 ATR away). Chasing the move at this level carries a higher risk of a pullback.

Bull Trap Structural Risk

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?

Short interest remains relatively low, limiting forced selling pressure. Current price strength appears broadly supported. 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 2026-01-15 (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.
