How NAVAN INC CLASS A looks technically
NAVAN INC CLASS A (NAVN): a strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 29, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 61, 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 7 trading days ago. Day-to-day price swings are unusually narrow versus its own recent history — a "Bollinger squeeze" (in the tightest 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 48% of its 30-day average.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $25.51 | $25.51 |
| 200-day moving average | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 8 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 8 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part upward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes above 29.99. 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 five-part sequence in leg 4. | possible three-wave upward correction, complete (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 29, with buyers in control | 28.5 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 61, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 61.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($26.60 to $29.99) — its "stochastic" reading is 76 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. | 75.5 |
| 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 $29.99 | $29.99 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 2.8% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -2.8% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 259.8% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +259.8% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 2.8% below its highest point of the past year | 2.8% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 7 trading days ago | 7 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 7 trading days ago | 7 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $29.99 (set on 2026-08-13) | $29.99 |

| Above the all-time low | it is 259.8% above its all-time low | +259.8% |
Volatility
4
| 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 1% of the past ~6 months), which often precedes a bigger move | 0th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $1.31 between its high and its low — about 4.5% 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 | $1.31 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $25.82 and $30.39 — 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 | $25.82 – $28.11 – $30.39 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.5% 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 | 4.5% |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-08-21 0.7% 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 | +0.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.1% above the previous close 10 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 27.86 — 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" 13 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 1 session to close | 13 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it closed higher in its latest session, after a session that did not close higher — a single up day rather than a run | 1 session up |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 7 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 18% 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 thick, spanning 11.9% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | +17.9% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 55% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $18.76 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 150 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +55.4% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 20% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-06-10 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $24.28 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 51 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +20.1% |
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part upward 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 above $29.99.
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.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a five-part sequence in leg 4, which fails on a close below $28.22.
This reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-08-20.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.
An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

Change over time is not available yet: it needs two readings of the same reporting period at least 30 days apart, and we have been recording these estimates since 2026-08-04. An estimate for a DIFFERENT quarter is not a revision, so a reading from before the last report is never compared with one after it.
The consensus estimate for the next reporting period, and how it has moved between readings of that SAME period. A change is measured only between readings estimating one period — when a company reports, the consensus moves to the next quarter and the two numbers are not comparable. Informational only, not a forecast and not advice.

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 NAVN as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 4,874,967
- Reported value $64,544,563
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 1 new, 1 increased, 3 decreased, 0 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. Informational only — not financial advice.
Short interest (FINRA)
NAVN had 8,864,799 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for NAVN because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 8,864,799
- Prior settlement (shares) 10,006,512
- Reported change -11.41%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.86
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.
