How FASTLY INC CLASS A looks technically
FASTLY INC CLASS A (FSLY) is trading 26.3% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 250 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 33, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 12 trading days ago. It is 26.1% below its highest point of the past year. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 6% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move.
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 26.3% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +26.3% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $24.70 | $24.70 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $20.02 | $20.02 |
| 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 15 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 15 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 250 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 250 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 33, with buyers in control | 33.2 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 51.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($23.70 to $31.33) — its "stochastic" reading is 21 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. | 20.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 3 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $34.22 | $34.22 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 26.1% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -26.1% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 227.0% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +227.0% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 26.1% below its highest point of the past year | 26.1% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 12 trading days ago | 12 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 40 trading days ago | 40 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $136.50 (set on 2020-10-13) | $136.50 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($7.86 to $33.50), and it has given back roughly a third of its rise from last year’s low — 32% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $16.83 to $17.65. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 32.0% |
| From the all-time high | it is 81.5% below its all-time high | -81.5% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 12.7% above a support level at $22.09 — a price it turned at three times since 2026-06-02, most recently on 2026-08-20. Since 2024-10-08 it has 13 such levels below the current price and 0 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -12.7% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $4.65 (set on 2025-04-07) | $4.65 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 443.9% above its all-time low | +443.9% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 6% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 6th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $2.04 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 | $2.04 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $22.67 and $28.27 — 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 | $22.67 – $25.47 – $28.27 |
| 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% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 2.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (26.3% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 2.6 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 1.9% below 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 | -1.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 6.2% below the previous close 10 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 29.65 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -6.2% |
| Gap filled | a 5.5% gap up opened on 2026-09-25 has been "filled" 9 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 9 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 5.9% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.7% of the share price. | +5.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 17% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $21.53 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 189 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +17.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $25.51 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 46 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -0.9% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- In the newer filing (2026-08-05), the introductory paragraph includes a reference to 'our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC' following the mention of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
- In the newer filing (2026-08-05), the introductory paragraph includes a sentence referencing 'Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements following the Table of Contents of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q'.
- In the newer filing (2026-08-05), a paragraph in the Factors Affecting Our Performance section states that the company will need to 'build out a single, unified platform, simplify customer onboarding and service usage, and simplify our pricing and packaging', dedicate significant resources to further develop the market and differentiate the platform, and 'expand, retain, and motivate our sales and marketing personnel in order to target our sales efforts at larger enterprises and senior management of these potential customers'.
- In the newer filing (2026-08-05), the Factors Affecting Our Performance section includes a sentence beginning 'We intend to continue expanding our efforts to attract customers outside of the United States by augmenting our sales teams and strategically increasing our presence in the number of markets in select international locations.'
- Removed:
- In the older filing (2026-05-06), the Overview section contained a paragraph beginning 'Organizations must keep up with a complex and ever-evolving landscape. We've built a powerful unified edge platform designed from the ground up...'
- In the older filing (2026-05-06), the Overview section contained a paragraph beginning 'We generate substantially all of our revenue from charging our customers based on their usage of our platform...' describing revenue generation, contract terms, and usage-based revenue.
- In the older filing (2026-05-06), the Overview section contained a paragraph beginning 'No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue...' discussing customer concentration for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
- Reworded:
- In the newer filing (2026-08-05), the phrase 'hardware-centric appliances' replaces 'hardware-centric appliances' - actually, the newer filing changed 'hardware-centric appliances' to 'hardware-centric appliances' (no change).
- The newer filing (2026-08-05) changed the introductory forward-looking statements sentence to reference the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements; the older filing (2026-05-06) stated only that the discussion 'contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties.'
- Notes:
- The provided older filing text is truncated mid-sentence in the Factors Affecting Our Performance section ('As a result, we expect our total operating expenses t'), so comparisons within that section may be incomplete.
- The provided newer filing text ends mid-paragraph in the Factors Affecting Our Performance section ('manage the administrative aspects of a global'), so comparisons within that section may be incomplete.
Risk Factors
- Reworded:
- In the newer filing (filed 2026-08-05), the bullet on customer concentration risk includes an asterisk (*) indicating a substantive change from the Annual Report on Form 10-K, whereas the older filing (filed 2026-05-06) did not have an asterisk on that bullet.
- In the older filing (filed 2026-05-06), the litigation bullet ends with "seriously harm our business ." (with a space before the period), while the newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) reads "seriously harm our business." (no space).
- The page number after the select risk factors list is 42 in the newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) versus 41 in the older filing (filed 2026-05-06).
- The page number after the first paragraph under Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Technology is 43 in the newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) versus 42 in the older filing (filed 2026-05-06).
- The newer filing (filed 2026-08-05) text ends with "Our customers may choose to " while the older filing (filed 2026-05-06) text ends with "Our customers may choose to d"; this reflects a truncation difference at the end of the provided excerpt.
- Notes:
- The provided excerpts are truncated and do not include the complete Risk Factors section of either filing; only the visible text was compared.
- The apparent difference in the final character at the end of the excerpt (' ' vs 'd') likely reflects excerpt truncation rather than a substantive change in the filing text.

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 FSLY as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 39,319,724
- Reported value $721,910,123
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 4 increased, 1 decreased, 1 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)
FSLY had 21,565,154 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
FSLY had 13.5% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.95 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 21,565,154
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 13.5%
- Prior settlement (shares) 20,213,781
- Reported change 6.69%
- Days to cover (reported) 3.95
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.
