How Liberty Broadband (Series C) looks technically
Liberty Broadband (Series C) (LBRDK) is trading 17.0% 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 251 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 21 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 56, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 4 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 9 trading days ago. It is 45.2% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 17.0% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -17.0% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $32.86 | $32.86 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $43.38 | $43.38 |
| 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 low 28 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 28 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 251 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 251 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 21 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend) | 20.9 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 56, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 56.4 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($33.56 to $37.59) — its "stochastic" reading is 61 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. | 61.0 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 4 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 4 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $65.72 | $65.72 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 45.2% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -45.2% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 37.2% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +37.2% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 45.2% below its highest point of the past year | 45.2% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 9 trading days ago | 9 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 9 trading days ago | 9 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $181.69 (set on 2021-09-02) | $181.69 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($28.89 to $65.22), and it has recovered roughly a quarter of its fall from last year’s high — 20% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $51.34 to $52.50. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 19.6% |
| From the all-time high | it is 80.2% below its all-time high | -80.2% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 3.0% above a support level at $34.95 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-05-27, most recently on 2026-06-15. Since 2024-08-21 it has 2 such levels below the current price and 15 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -3.0% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $26.25 (set on 2026-07-24) | $26.25 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 37.2% above its all-time low | +37.2% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 52nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.54 between its high and its low — about 4.3% 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 | $1.54 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $32.02 and $38.26 — 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 | $32.02 – $35.14 – $38.26 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.3% in a typical session — about typical for the 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 | 4.3% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 4.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (17.0% 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 | 4.8 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | 0.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.1% above the previous close 18 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 30.92 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.1% |
| Gap filled | a 2.5% gap up opened on 2026-08-03 has been "filled" 14 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 14 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 4 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 — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 4 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 3.0% above 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 uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is moderate, spanning 5.3% of the share price. | +3.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 10% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $39.84 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 156 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -9.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 1% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-29 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $35.65 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 16 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +1.0% |

| $50.20 | Resistance | 39.4% above the last close | turned there three times · 2025-12-11 to 2026-04-15 |
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
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.

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.

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.
