How ARKO PETROLEUM CORP CLASS A looks technically
ARKO PETROLEUM CORP CLASS A (APC): a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 35, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 41, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 7 trading days ago. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 46% of its 30-day average.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | not current — this company's price series (ends 2026-08-11) is 41 trading sessions behind the rest of the catalog | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $18.19 | $18.19 |
| 200-day moving average | not current — this company's price series (ends 2026-08-11) is 41 trading sessions behind the rest of the catalog | n/a |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 8 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 8 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 17.9. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |

|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($14.50 to $18.80) — its "stochastic" reading is 41 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 41.4 |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 96% of the past ~6 months) | 96th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.6876 between its high and its low — about 4.2% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.6876 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $14.17 and $19.76 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $14.17 – $16.97 – $19.76 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.2% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 4.2% |

|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 8 sessions ago, after a stretch of decline, it sold off hard during the session and then closed back near its high — a "hammer", the long lower wick showing the drop was bought back before the close | 8 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 0.2% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.3% above the previous close 4 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 15.03 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +3.3% |
| Gap filled | a 2.2% gap down opened on 2026-08-25 has been "filled" 31 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 31 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 3 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 7 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 14% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 4.9% of the share price. | -14.3% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 12% below the average price paid since 2026-02-12, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $18.55 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 155 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -12.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 9% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-06 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $17.82 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 45 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.7% |
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $17.90.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $15.64 and $16.91 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close below $14.50.
This reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-10-07.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding APC as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 1,624,897
- Reported value $30,629,310
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 2 new, 3 increased, 0 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
APC had 848,533 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for APC because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 848,533
- Prior settlement (shares) 985,919
- Reported change -13.93%
- Days to cover (reported) 5.79
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
