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

Data Summary
SOXS Stock Analysis Report
Executive Summary
Overall Assessment: BEARISH | Confidence Level: 7/10
Key Drivers & Primary Risks:
- SOXS is a 3x inverse leveraged ETF designed to profit from semiconductor sector declines, currently benefiting from recent weakness in chip stocks
- Extreme volatility (HV60: 135.0%) and negative beta (-7.76) create structural complexity; daily reset mechanics mean buy-and-hold investors face decay
- Recent fund outflows (-$606M in latest month despite strong 12-month inflows) suggest institutional rotation away from bearish positioning
Investment Thesis: SOXS has surged to $45.83 on semiconductor sector weakness, but technical overbought conditions (Stochastic at 86.84, price 32% above 200-day MA) combined with deteriorating volume (-67% volume rate of change) and negative MACD histogram (-2.20) signal momentum exhaustion. The fund's sharp recent appreciation conflicts with its structural design as a tactical hedge rather than a buy-and-hold vehicle; aggressive positioning into leveraged inverse products at extreme overbought levels historically precedes rapid reversals.
Recent News Sentiment Impact: News headlines are dated and conflicted—the most recent (Feb 23, 2026) references bearish sentiment generally, while older positive articles (Feb 29, 2024) about semiconductor rallies predate current moves. The "5 Worst Performing ETFs" article suggests SOXS may have been benefiting from semiconductor underperformance, but the absence of current catalyst-driven headlines limits conviction. Data quality concern: news dates span nearly 2 years with significant gaps; cannot reliably assess current catalyst alignment.
Technical Analysis
Trend Direction
- Short-term (1-4 weeks): BULLISH — Price $45.83 sits well above SMA20 ($34.72) and SMA50 ($41.62); momentum remains positive despite overbought readings
- Medium-term (1-3 months): NEUTRAL-TO-BEARISH — Price is 32% above SMA200 ($179.15), which is an extremely unusual disparity suggesting either data anomaly or extraordinary move; ADX (18.94) indicates weak trend strength in a range environment
- Long-term (3-12 months): BEARISH — Fund has experienced extreme volatility (HV60 135%) and structural decay from daily reset; -3x leverage amplifies losses in sideways markets
Support/Resistance Levels
- Immediate Resistance: $43.65 (Bollinger Band upper); price currently trading $2.18 above
- Critical Support: $41.62 (SMA50) — loss of this level would suggest trend reversal
- Secondary Support: $34.72 (SMA20) — represents recent baseline
- Extreme Support (if valid): $25.79 (Bollinger Band lower)
Data Quality Flag: The SMA200 at $179.15 appears anomalous given current price of $45.83. This suggests either: (1) the 200-day MA calculation uses different methodology, (2) the fund has experienced a massive structural adjustment, or (3) data misalignment. This significantly undermines medium-to-long-term trend analysis confidence.
Momentum Signals
RSI (14): 63.70 (Neutral-to-Overbought Boundary)
- Just shy of overbought threshold (>70), indicating strength but not yet extreme exhaustion
- Positioned in upper-neutral range; suggests upside momentum can continue but with elevated reversal risk
MACD: -0.20 / Signal: 2.00 / Histogram: -2.20 (BEARISH)
- Negative histogram (-2.20) indicates bearish divergence—EMA12 ($38.33) remains below EMA26 ($38.53)
- MACD line below signal line confirms negative momentum; this is the most concerning technical signal and contradicts RSI strength
- Suggests momentum peak may have occurred; deterioration ahead likely
Stochastic Oscillators: %K 86.84 / %D 85.72 (SEVERELY OVERBOUGHT)
- Both components in extreme overbought territory (>80); historically precedes mean reversion
- Williams %R (-12.76) confirms extreme overbought conditions
- High probability of pullback within 1-2 weeks
Bollinger Bands: OVERBOUGHT
- Price at $45.83 trading above upper band ($43.65) by 5%
- Width (51.44) suggests elevated volatility; combined with overbought position indicates squeeze breakout that has run, with mean reversion likely
Volume Analysis
Critical Weakness:
- Volume Rate of Change: -67.11% — dramatic collapse in trading volume
- Volume SMA 20: 77.48M vs current implied volume: severely below average
- On-Balance Volume (OBV): -376M (negative) — indicates net selling pressure despite price appreciation; classic divergence signal
Interpretation: The combination of rising price + collapsing volume + negative OBV is a major red flag. This suggests:
- Recent rally driven by thin liquidity (potential vacuum-up move)
- Institutional participation declining despite higher prices
- Breakout lacks conviction; vulnerable to reversal on volume spike down
News & Sentiment Analysis
Recent Headlines Summary
Latest Article (Feb 23, 2026 - dated forward, likely error):
- "Feeling Bearish? Try These ETFs That Take a Contrarian Approach" — generic reference to bearish instruments; SOXS would fit category but no specific catalyst mentioned
Older Articles (2024-2025):
- Semiconductor sector showed mixed performance: SOXL (3x long semiconductor) rallied post-Fed (May 2024), but Taiwan Semi weakness post-Xi statements (March 2024)
- SOXS would have benefited from semiconductor underperformance, but no recent catalyst articles specific to current move
Sentiment Assessment: MIXED-TO-NEUTRAL
- Negative sentiment (2 articles): References to bearish positioning and worst-performing ETFs suggest semiconductor weakness, benefiting SOXS
- Positive sentiment (1 article): Semiconductor rally headline contradicts current price action
- Neutral sentiment (3 articles): Geopolitical and Fed-related news with indirect impact
Critical Data Quality Issue: Oldest article is dated 2024-02-29 (nearly 2 years old), while newest claims 2026-02-23 (future date). This suggests either data error or reporting lag. Cannot reliably identify current catalysts.
Catalyst Identification
- Immediate (1-7 days): None identified from news
- Near-term (1-4 weeks): Semiconductor earnings season (typically late April for April quarter) — if major chip makers beat, negative for SOXS
- Medium-term (1-3 months): Fed policy direction, geopolitical tensions affecting Taiwan, AI/GPU cycle momentum
Market Narrative Conflict
Technical vs. News Misalignment:
- Technical analysis screams "overbought reversal incoming" (Stochastic 86.84, MACD negative, volume collapsing)
- News backdrop is dated and lacks recent catalyst specificity
- This lack of current narrative support for the rally is itself bearish—moves without fresh catalysts typically reverse quickly
Risk & Volatility Assessment
Beta Interpretation: CRITICAL STRUCTURAL ISSUE
Beta: -7.76 (vs SPY)
This extreme negative beta is the defining characteristic:
- Fund is designed to move 3x inverse to semiconductor index; if semiconductors rally 1%, SOXS should decline ~3%
- Current rally in SOXS (+32% from 200-day MA) reflects severe underperformance in semiconductor sector
- Inverse leverage creates "return decay" in sideways markets: daily reset means volatility compresses gains in choppy trading
- Correlation (-0.72): Moderate inverse correlation to SPY (market-wide), but primary driver is semiconductor sector moves
Volatility Regime: EXTREMELY ELEVATED
| Metric | Value | Interpretation | |--------|-------|-----------------| | HV20 | 104.9% | Extreme 20-day volatility | | HV30 | 114.4% | Extreme annualized volatility (11%+ daily moves) | | HV60 | 135.0% | Historically elevated | | IV Premium vs HV | +4.1% | Implied vol slightly richer than realized; modest premium | | ATR | $3

Chain Summary
Each spread is ranked by a composite score built in three stages. Full documentation →
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.
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.
- RSI <40 bullish / >60 bearish
- MACD crossover + histogram trend
- Price vs SMA 50 & SMA 200
- Stochastic %K <20 / >80
- Williams %R <−80 / >−20
- Blended ATR + straddle expected-move penalty
- Bollinger Band signal (+ counter-trend penalty)
- BB width — vol contraction boost for ICs
- IV rank ≥ 75 → strong boost for credit spreads
- IV rank < 25 → penalty (selling cheap vol)
- 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 →

Estimated net dealer gamma is at the 82nd percentile of this name's own daily history, near the high end of its range. This describes current positioning; it is not a forecast or a trading signal.
Net dealer gamma is an estimate of the aggregate gamma held by options market makers across this name's option chain, weighted by open interest. Dealer positions aren't public, so it uses a standard simplifying assumption: dealers are treated as long the calls and short the puts that are open. Actual dealer books can differ.
Gamma percentile ranks today's estimate against this name's own daily history, from 0% (the lowest reading on record) to 100% (the highest). Raw gamma scales with how much open interest a chain carries, so it isn't comparable across names; the percentile is. The badge marks the bottom 20% as low and the top 20% as high.
Tilts run from −1 to +1 and show how lopsided the estimated dealer exposure is. GEX tilt compares call gamma with put gamma. Vanna tilt describes how the hedge would shift if implied volatility changed, and charm tilt how it would shift with the passage of time.
This card describes estimated positioning and where it sits historically. It is not a forecast of price direction or volatility and not a trading signal. Market-wide view: Dealer positioning screener.
IV(put wing) − IV(ATM), in vol pointsHow 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.
IV(call wing) − IV(put wing), equal delta on each sideWhich 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.
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.

Regulatory short-interest reports publish on a bi-weekly settlement cadence; short-volume is reported daily by the trade-reporting facilities. Float is derived from insider-ownership filings.
- Short Interest — total shares currently sold short as of the settlement date. Lags real time by ~8 business days.
- SI % of Float — short interest / free float. The key crowding metric.
- Days to Cover — short interest / avg daily volume. How many full trading days it would take shorts to buy back. High DTC + catalyst = squeeze fuel.
- Short Vol Ratio — today's short-sale volume / total volume. Intraday selling pressure proxy (not the same as short interest).
- Free Float — shares available for public trading (total shares minus insider / restricted).
- Float % — free float / shares outstanding. <50% = tightly held, more prone to squeezes.
- SI % of Float < 5% — typical, no particular signal.
- 5–15% — elevated; watch for catalysts (earnings, guidance, macro).
- 15–30% — heavily shorted; tight-float names in this range have produced notable squeezes historically.
- >30% — extreme; borrow is likely expensive and squeeze risk is material.
- Days to Cover > 5 combined with high SI% amplifies squeeze potential.
- Trend matters more than level. Rapidly rising short interest often precedes negative catalysts or heavy hedging.
- A sudden drop in SI after a rally may indicate a squeeze in progress.
Short interest is reported mid-month and end-of-month; short volume is daily.
