The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑
Price Levels
| Strategy | Current Price Reasonable |
|---|---|
| Reference band | 98.89 — 101.40 |
| Protective stop | 96.40 (Structure, 3.7% risk) |
| Support | 97.45 (7 touches, 3.0% away) |
| Resistance | 100.58 (0.2% away) |
Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 0.2% below 100.58, where sellers have turned up before, and 3.0% above 97.45, where buyers have stepped in before. That floor has held 7 times, which is how it was spotted. If someone bought at today's price and sold if it dropped through the level below, they would be about 3.7% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.
Levels are computed from price structure. They describe where the engine locates support and extension — they are not targets, and not advice.
Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)
| Daily cloud | Price BELOW the cloud | periods 5/14/28 (55% of classic 9/26/52) |
|---|---|
| Lines | Tenkan/Kijun BEAR | cloud twist BEAR |
| Cloud thickness | 100% percentile (thick — substantial structure) |
| Chikou span | Not clear of price from 26 periods ago |
| Weekly cloud | Price BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored) |
Takeaway The stock is trading below its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 101.37 to 104.84. Being below it means the medium-term picture is pointing downwards, and that band is the first hurdle it would have to climb back through. Its shorter-term averages agree with that. The band is unusually wide at the moment, so it marks a broad zone rather than a single level.
Trailing returns
| 21 days | -7.9% |
|---|---|
| 63 days | +0.6% |
| 126 days | +5.5% |
| 252 days | +8.6% |
| Below 252d high | 8.2% |
Trend context
| Position | At trend |
|---|---|
| Extension | Normal |
| Trend slope | Flat |
| Direction of travel | Holding its deviation |
Takeaway The share price is close to the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is going sideways. The gap between the two has been fairly steady. Neither is stretched far enough to stand out.
Volatility
| State | No recent compression |
|---|---|
| Current band width | 11.6% of price |
| Recent tightest | 8.0% (9 sessions ago, narrower than 38.0% of its history) |
| Expansion since | 1.44× |
| Band | 97.39 — 109.34 |
Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 12% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑
Insider activity
| Activity | No filings in the window |
|---|---|
| Buy filings | 0 |
| Sell filings | 0 |
Open-market Form 4 purchases and sales over the last 75 days, read from SEC EDGAR Form 4. Grants, option exercises, gifts and shares withheld for tax are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not a decision to buy or sell. Reported Form 4 activity. Brown Bear tested insider cluster-buying as a return signal and rejected it as era-unstable; shown as fact, not signal.
Volume confirmation
| Volume-price trend | Below its signal line |
|---|---|
| Confirmation | Marginal |
No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.
Takeaway The heaviest trading has been happening on days when the price falls: when large numbers of shares change hands, the price has tended to go down rather than up. That tells you where the weight of trading has been. It does not tell you what happens next, and it is not a signal to sell.
Options Positioning
No binary-event flag
PNW: no binary-event flag. Near IV 20%, far IV 19% (ratio 1.08), implied move 2.5%.
| Implied volatility | 20% near (9d) · 19% far (65d) |
|---|---|
| Term structure | 1.08× near/far |
| Historical volatility | 17% |
| Implied vs historical | 1.17× |
| Implied move | ±2.5% by 2026-08-21 |
| Implied move vs ATR | 0.40× |
| Skew | Put Skew (1.18×) |
| Put wall | 70.00 (-30.3% away) |
| Gamma pin | 70.00 |
Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs less for the next few weeks than for the next few months, which is the normal state of affairs and suggests no particular date is worrying anyone. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 2.5% in either direction by 2026-08-21.

- Track 2: EMA50 slope deteriorating -1.3%
- Below-average Altman Z-score (1.65)
- ROIC improving by -0.5 pts (+-2.0)
- Track 2 structural exemption: Z-Score 1.65 below the 1.8 insolvency-risk floor and structural score 2.3/100 below the 25 quality floor; this is an unowned speculative candidate, so the universal SELL gate was skipped and the Track 2 momentum/RRG grid was allowed to evaluate instead. Structural quality here is weak by design for this kind of candidate -- treat any resulting BUY as higher risk than a Track 1 signal.
Chase risk is not elevated for this name, so extension penalties are omitted from the negative signals above.
