How Buda Juice, Inc. looks technically
Buda Juice, Inc. (BUDA): there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 45, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 20 trading days ago.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $8.83 | $8.83 |
| 200-day moving average | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 9 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 9 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 9.65. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 16, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 16.0 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 45, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 45.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($7.81 to $9.65) — its "stochastic" reading is 24 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 slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 23.9 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 11 sessions |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 32nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.6648 between its high and its low — about 8.1% 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 | $0.6648 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $7.47 and $9.42 — 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 | $7.47 – $8.45 – $9.42 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 8.1% in a typical session — among the most volatile in the catalog. 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 | 8.1% |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 1 session ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 1 session ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a bearish engulfing | 5 sessions ago it opened above the previous session's close and finished below that session's open — a "bearish engulfing" pair, where one down day more than undid the up day before it | 5 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-26 3.5% 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 | +3.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.4% above the previous close 11 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 7.9 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +3.4% |
| Gap filled | a 3.5% gap up opened on 2026-08-26 has been "filled" today — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | today |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 4 sessions in a row, a -8.67% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 sessions down |

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 9.6% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-07-21 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 6.9% of the share price. | -9.6% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
1
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 8% below the average price paid since 2026-01-08, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $9.00 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 149 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.3% |
|---|
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $9.65.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 3 trading days, since 2026-08-24.

Key risks (from latest filing)
["Reliance on retail distribution partners and shelf placement to reach consumers; loss of major retailer relationships or reduced shelf space could significantly impact sales","Seasonal supply variability and dependence on local farmers for quality produce; crop failures, adverse weather, or agricultural disruptions could affect product availability and margins","Cold-chain logistics and distribution complexity; any disruption in refrigeration or cold-chain infrastructure could compromise product freshness, safety, and shelf life"]

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. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
BUDA had 15,887 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
BUDA had 0.13% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 1 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 15,887
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 0.13%
- Prior settlement (shares) 31,799
- Reported change -50.04%
- Days to cover (reported) 1
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-07-31 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.
