Technical Indicators

Quick-reference for reading the values below. Indicators combine to confirm a view — no single one is a trade signal on its own.

Trend Indicators
  • SMA 20 / 50 / 200 — price above = uptrend, below = downtrend. SMA 50 crossing SMA 200 is the golden/death cross.
  • EMA 12 / 26 — faster-reacting averages; 12 above 26 is short-term bullish.
  • MACD — bullish when MACD > signal (green badge), bearish when below. Divergence from price often precedes reversals.
  • ADX (14) — trend strength regardless of direction. <20 range, 20–25 weak trend, 25–50 trend, >50 strong trend.
  • +DI / −DI — +DI > −DI favors bulls; the reverse favors bears. Read alongside ADX.
Momentum Oscillators
  • RSI (14) — <30 oversold, >70 overbought. 40–60 is neutral; trending names can stay extreme.
  • Stochastic %K / %D — <20 oversold, >80 overbought. %K crossing %D is an early momentum signal.
  • Williams %R — inverted scale: <−80 oversold, >−20 overbought.

Oscillators work best in range-bound markets; in strong trends they give premature reversal signals.

Volume & Volatility
  • Bollinger Bands — price at upper band = overbought, lower = oversold. Narrow bands (squeeze) often precede expansion.
  • OBV — cumulative volume; rising OBV confirms uptrend, falling OBV confirms downtrend. Divergence from price is a warning.
  • Vol SMA 20 / Vol ROC — today's volume vs. 20-day average. Positive ROC with price move = conviction.
  • ATR / True Range — average daily $ move; sizing and stop-loss reference.
  • HV 20 / 30 / 60 — realized (historical) volatility. Compare to IV on the options cards: IV > HV = rich premium.

Confluence matters: trend + momentum + volume agreeing carries far more weight than any single indicator. For how these feed the spread scanner score, see the algorithm docs →

AI Analysis

LLM Stock Analysis Report: DFCF

Executive Summary

Overall Assessment: NEUTRAL (confidence level 6/10)

Key Drivers and Primary Risks:

  • Technical indicators suggest a range-bound market with a slight tilt to the downside.
  • Recent news headlines are neutral, but may not be fully incorporated into the current stock price.
  • Volatility is low, which reduces the risk of significant price movements.

Investment Thesis: DFCF is a stable company with a strong brand, and its recent financial performance is mediocre. The market is pricing in this stability, making it an attractive long-term holding. However, there is limited upside potential due to the prevailing range-bound market condition.

Recent News Sentiment Impact: Neutral news headlines have not had a significant impact on the stock price, but may be contributing to the current sideways movement.

Technical Analysis

Trend Direction:

  • Short-term (1-4 weeks): NEUTRAL
  • Medium-term (1-3 months): BEARISH
  • Long-term (3-12 months): NEUTRAL

Support/Resistance Levels: The stock is currently trading within a range defined by the upper and lower Bollinger Bands. Key support levels include $41.44 and $40.94, while resistance lies at $41.83.

Momentum Signals:

  • RSI (14) is neutral at 41.33.
  • MACD is bearish with a negative histogram (-0.08).
  • Stochastic %K and %D are both below their respective levels, indicating further consolidation.
  • Williams %R suggests the stock may be due for a bounce.

Volume Analysis: Volume has been declining over the past few days, which could be indicative of a lack of conviction among traders.

News & Sentiment Analysis

Recent Headlines Summary: Neutral news headlines have not had a significant impact on the stock price.

Sentiment Assessment: Neutral sentiment dominates recent news headlines.

Catalyst Identification: There are no near-term earnings or event-driven catalysts to significantly impact the stock price.

Market Narrative: The market is pricing in DFCF's stability, which may limit upside potential but also reduces the risk of significant price movements.

Risk & Volatility Assessment

Beta Interpretation: Low volatility - stock moves less than market (beta: 0.15).

Volatility Regime: Current volatility is low compared to historical levels.

Options Market Signals: There is no unusual options activity or IV rank data available.

Downside Protection: Support levels are in place, but there is limited downside risk due to the prevailing range-bound market condition.

Market Context & Positioning

Sector Performance: DFCF's sector (Financials) has been relatively strong, which may support the stock price.

Institutional Activity: There is no unusual institutional activity or volume patterns suggesting significant interest.

Correlation Analysis: The stock moves in line with the market (R-squared: 0.5).

Relative Valuation: DFCF's relative valuation is neutral compared to its peers and the broader market.

Key Levels & Action Items

Critical Price Levels: $41.44, $40.94, and $41.83 are key support and resistance levels to monitor.

Breakout/Breakdown Levels: A breakout above $41.83 or a breakdown below $40.94 could trigger significant price movements.

Time-Sensitive Catalysts: There are no near-term earnings or event-driven catalysts that could impact the stock price.

Risk Management: Stop-loss levels and position sizing considerations should be based on the prevailing range-bound market condition.

Spread Scanner GPU

Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →

Stage 1 — Base Score (GPU scanner)

score = P(profit) × (credit / spread_width)
P(profit) from short leg delta (1 − |delta|), penalised above 85%. Credit uses mid-price to handle illiquid chains fairly.

Stage 2 — Skew Adjustment (±25% cap)

RR and BF (30-delta) from the persisted per-symbol skew snapshot — wing strikes picked by real greeks.delta, not a moneyness proxy. Put skew boosts bull puts, penalises bear calls. High butterfly boosts iron condors. Calendars are skew-neutral.

Stage 3 — Technical Overlay (±50% cap, 5 groups)
Group 1 · Directional Bias (±0.25)
  • RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
  • MACD crossover + histogram trend
  • Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
Group 2 · Momentum (±0.10)
  • Stochastic %K <20 / >80
  • Williams %R <−80 / >−20
Group 3 · Volatility (up to −0.25 / +0.15)
  • Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
  • Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
  • BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
Group 4 · IV Regime (±0.15)
  • IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
  • IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
Group 5 · Liquidity (penalty up to −0.10)
  • Min open interest across all legs
  • OI < 100 → −0.10 · OI < 500 → −0.05

score = base_score × skew_multiplier × tech_multiplier
Both multipliers are shown per spread. Beta is informational only — ATR already captures realized vol. Full algorithm documentation →

Skew (Wing IV − ATM IV)
DTE:
Wing Δ:
Metric:
Wing vs ATM
IV(put wing) − IV(ATM), in vol points

How much the OTM put trades above (or below) the at-the-money strike. Measures the height of the put-side tail relative to ATM — i.e. how expensive crash insurance is on this name.

  • Positive (typical) — wing IV > ATM IV. Standard equity put skew: portfolios bid up crash protection, so OTM puts trade richer than ATM.
  • Near zero or negative (unusual) — wing IV ≤ ATM IV. Flat or inverted put side. Common when there's no fear demand, in tightly mean-reverting names, or right after an earnings catalyst clears.
  • Percentile vs own 3-yr history: high = wings rich (good time to sell wing premium); low = wings cheap (good time to buy protection).
  • Not directional — high or low wings don't predict up or down moves. It's a price tag on tail insurance, not a forecast.
Risk Reversal
IV(call wing) − IV(put wing), equal delta on each side

Which side of the smile is the market paying up for? Measures the tilt of the surface — call skew vs put skew at matched deltas.

  • Negative (typical) — puts richer than calls. Standard equity behavior: hedging demand makes puts carry a premium. Most large-caps sit in the −1 to −5 vol-point range.
  • Strongly negative (< −5 pts) — heavy downside hedging, elevated fear, or an upcoming catalyst (earnings, FDA, macro event). Worth flagging.
  • Positive — calls richer than puts. Unusual for equities; signals bullish momentum, short-squeeze positioning, or takeover/M&A speculation.
  • Near zero — symmetric surface. Market sees roughly equal up/down risk. Rare for large-caps; more common in commodities and FX.
Reading them together

Wing-vs-ATM tells you how expensive the tails are. Risk Reversal tells you which side is favored. Combined:

  • High wing percentile + deeply negative RR → strong put bid; stress or major event priced in. Owning protection costs a premium; selling put premium is dangerous.
  • Low wing percentile + near-zero RR → complacency; insurance cheap and balanced. Good environment to add cheap downside hedges.
  • Positive RR + elevated wings → call-side fear-of-missing-out; common in squeeze setups. Upside calls expensive, downside puts not bid.

Percentile is the rank of today's reading within ~3 years of this symbol's own history. High percentile = wings are rich relative to history; not a directional signal. Skew is read off the chain in real time, not from CBOE SKEW.

DFCF Institutional Ownership (13F)

Latest filings — 2026-09-30

Institutional managers with $100M+ AUM file Form 13F-HR quarterly, due 45 days after quarter end. Holdings are reported gross at quarter-end market value — they are a snapshot, not a real-time position.

  • Shares — long equity positions in this name, aggregated across share classes.
  • Calls / Puts — notional value of long call / put exposure where this ticker is the underlying.
  • % of Float — holder's reported shares divided by the latest diluted shares outstanding. Sums above 100% indicate large custodian / prime broker positions where the same shares are reported by multiple filers.
  • Custodian badge — filers with more than 5,000 holdings are typically broker-dealers / custodians reporting customer-held shares, not active managers.
