How GREEN DOT CORP CLASS A looks technically
GREEN DOT CORP CLASS A (GDOT) is trading 1.0% 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 77 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 54, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago.
Trend
9
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 1.0% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +1.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $13.11 | $13.11 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $12.56 | $12.56 |
| 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 13 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 13 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 11.58. 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 downward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 77 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 77 sessions |
| Above the 200-day after a dip | it recently dipped to its 200-day average (the long-term trend line) and has since climbed back above it — now about 1.0% above | +1.0% |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 54, with sellers in control | 54.4 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 46, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 45.9 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($11.58 to $13.28) — its "stochastic" reading is 65 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. | 64.7 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 33 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $13.73 | $13.73 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 7.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -7.7% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 25.5% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +25.5% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 7.6% below its highest point of the past year | 7.7% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $93.00 (set on 2018-11-08) | $93.00 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($10.53 to $13.58), and it has recovered well over two thirds of its fall from last year’s high — 70% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $12.41 to $12.51. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 70.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 86.4% below its all-time high | -86.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a support level at $12.66 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-04-20, most recently on 2026-05-01. Since 2024-10-08 it has 11 such levels below the current price and 2 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.2% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $6.12 (set on 2025-03-13) | $6.12 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 107.0% above its all-time low | +107.0% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are unusually wide versus its own recent history (wider than about 88% of the past ~6 months) | 88th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.2531 between its high and its low — about 2.0% 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 | $0.2531 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $11.98 and $13.58 — 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 | $11.98 – $12.78 – $13.58 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 2.0% in a typical session — among the calmest 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 | 2.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (1.0% 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 | 0.5 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 5 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 5 sessions ago |
| Since a bearish engulfing | 2 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 | 2 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 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 — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 4 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative, 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 | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 3.4% 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 thin, spanning 0.3% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that gives way easily. | -3.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $12.37 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 189 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +2.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 3% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-10 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $13.02 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 43 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -2.6% |
Price levels it has turned at before
GDOT last closed at $12.68 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 11 prices below its last close and 2 above; the 3 nearest below and the 2 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| $12.66 | Support | 0.2% below the last close | turned there twice · 2026-04-20 to 2026-05-01 |
| $12.41 | Support | 2.1% below the last close | turned there six times · 2024-10-29 to 2026-08-11 |
| $13.06 | Resistance | 3.0% above the last close | turned there 8 times · 2025-08-27 to 2026-09-09 |
| $11.93 | Support | 5.9% below the last close | turned there six times · 2024-10-18 to 2026-04-27 |
| $13.57 | Resistance | 7.0% above the last close | turned there 7 times · 2024-11-06 to 2026-09-03 |
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 three-part downward 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 below $11.58.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-10-08.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Removed:
- In the older filing (filed 2026-05-11), the safe harbor reference included both 'the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")' and 'the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")'; the newer filing (filed 2026-08-10) only refers to 'the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")' and 'the Exchange Act'.
- Reworded:
- In the older filing (filed 2026-05-11), the phrase 'and governmental and our responses to such events' appears where the newer filing (filed 2026-08-10) has 'and our responses to such events' (the word 'governmental' was removed in the newer filing).
- Notes:
- The provided newer text appears truncated at 'under "Part II,' and the provided older text also ends at 'under "Part II,' so changes beyond that point could not be assessed.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Newer filing states that complaints have been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by purported stockholders against Green Dot (filed 2026-08-10).
- Newer filing states that in response to such stockholder demand letters and complaints, Green Dot filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on June 16, 2026, containing supplemental disclosures regarding certain financial projections and the background of the transactions (filed 2026-08-10).
- Newer filing refers to 'the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by New CommerceOne with the SEC, as amended' whereas the older filing refers to 'the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by New CommerceOne with the SEC' without 'as amended' (filed 2026-08-10).
- Removed:
- Older filing stated 'If such transactions are not completed for any reason, including the failure to receive the required approvals of our or CommerceOne's stockholders' (filed 2026-05-11).
- Older filing began the stockholder litigation risk factor with 'It is possible that stockholders may file lawsuits' (filed 2026-05-11).
- Older filing referred to 'the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by New CommerceOne with the SEC' without 'as amended' (filed 2026-05-11).
- Older filing stated 'We cannot assure you as to the outcome of any lawsuits, if filed' (filed 2026-05-11).
- Reworded:
- Newer filing changes 'Stockholders have and may continue to file lawsuits' from the older 'It is possible that stockholders may file lawsuits' regarding the litigation risk factor (filed 2026-08-10).
- Newer filing changes 'We cannot assure you as to the outcome of any pending or future lawsuits' from the older 'We cannot assure you as to the outcome of any lawsuits, if filed' (filed 2026-08-10).
- Newer filing changes 'If additional similar demand letters are received or complaints are filed' from the older 'If additional similar demands are made' (filed 2026-08-10).
- Notes:
- The older filing text is truncated at the end of the final risk factor, so changes in that final portion could not be compared.
- The newer filing text is truncated mid-sentence at the end of the excerpt, so changes after that point could not be compared.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for GDOT — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly 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.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 3 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)
GDOT had 1,659,851 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
GDOT had 2.91% 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 5.72 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 1,659,851
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 2.91%
- Prior settlement (shares) 1,557,786
- Reported change 6.55%
- Days to cover (reported) 5.72
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.
