How NETGEAR INC looks technically

NETGEAR INC (NTGR) is trading 12.2% 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 158 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 19, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though sellers have been pushing harder than buyers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 34, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 10 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, its first since 2026-03-20, breaking below its recent trading range. It is 43.0% below its highest point of the past year.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($20.78 to $24.76) — its "stochastic" reading is 6 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.6.0

Typical daily rangein a typical session it travels about $0.9844 between its high and its low — about 4.7% 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$0.9844
Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ)most of its recent trading has stayed between about $21.04 and $25.82 — 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$21.04 – $23.43 – $25.82
Typical daily range (% of price)its price moves about 4.7% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover.

The band itself is moderate, spanning 7.8% of the share price.-8.1%

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 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $21.05.

It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.

On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $21.05 and $23.36 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.

This reading has stood for 1 trading day, since 2026-08-21.

  • Consensus EPS estimate-$0.05 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-23

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.

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.
