How JOBY AVIATION INC CLASS A looks technically
JOBY AVIATION INC CLASS A (JOBY) is trading 31.2% 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 124 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 44, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 10 trading days ago. It is 62.3% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 31.2% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -31.2% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $8.18 | $8.18 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $10.94 | $10.94 |
| 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 high 11 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 11 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 3 of five; the labelling fails if price closes above 9.075. 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 three-part correction in leg C. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 3 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 124 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 124 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 14, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 14.4 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 44, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 44.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($7.37 to $9.07) — its "stochastic" reading is 9 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. | 9.4 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 1 session |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $19.98 | $19.98 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 62.3% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -62.3% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 13.6% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +13.6% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 62.3% below its highest point of the past year | 62.3% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 10 trading days ago | 10 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 18 trading days ago | 18 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $20.95 (set on 2025-08-04) | $20.95 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($6.65 to $19.57), and it has recovered only a small part of its fall from last year’s high — 7% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $14.63 to $15.05. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 6.8% |
| From the all-time high | it is 64.1% below its all-time high | -64.1% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 2.8% below a resistance level at $7.74 — a price it turned at twice since 2025-01-13, most recently on 2026-03-30. Since 2024-08-21 it has 4 such levels below the current price and 11 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +2.8% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $3.15 (set on 2022-12-27) | $3.15 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 139.0% above its all-time low | +139.1% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 40th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.4721 between its high and its low — about 6.3% 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 | $0.4721 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $6.73 and $8.81 — 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 | $6.73 – $7.77 – $8.81 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.3% in a typical session — more volatile than most 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 | 6.3% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 7.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (31.2% below 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 | 7.2 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

|---|---|---|
| Since a hammer | 2 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 | 2 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 1.6% 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 | +1.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 3.0% below the previous close 3 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 7.91 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -3.0% |
| Gap filled | a 2.5% gap down opened on 2026-08-14 has been "filled" 5 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 5 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed lower 2 sessions in a row, a -2.46% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 2 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
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 2026-07-16 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 thick, spanning 15.2% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -14.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 22% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $9.66 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 155 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -22.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $8.11 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 13 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.1% |
Price levels it has turned at before
JOBY last closed at $7.53 on 2026-08-21. Since 2024-08-21 it has turned at 4 prices below its last close and 11 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

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 3 of five.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $9.07.
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 $3.15 and $5.41 — 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 three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close above $9.07.
This reading has stood for 5 trading days, since 2026-08-17.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.
