How Charter Communications looks technically

Charter Communications (CHTR) is trading 36.9% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 290 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 37, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 33, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 4.5% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year).

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($104.91 to $129.37) — its "stochastic" reading is 19 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.

Typical daily rangein a typical session it travels about $5.74 between its high and its low — about 5.2% of its price.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.

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 $111.55.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $111.55 and $139.79 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.

This reading has stood for 9 trading days, since 2026-09-28.

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.

Short interest (FINRA)

CHTR had 15,404,722 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 CHTR because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

  • Reported short interest (shares) 15,404,722
  • Prior settlement (shares) 14,985,512
  • Reported change 2.8%
  • Days to cover (reported) 5.66

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.
