How SPHERE ENTERTAINMENT CLASS A looks technically
SPHERE ENTERTAINMENT CLASS A (SPHR) is trading 17.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 305 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 29, with sellers in control. Momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 24, in oversold territory (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 4 trading days ago. It is 41.4% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
8
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 17.1% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -17.1% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $144.74 | $144.74 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $128.30 | $128.30 |
| 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 high 22 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 22 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 151.36. 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 upward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 305 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 305 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 29, with sellers in control | 29.1 |
Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is beaten down — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 24, in oversold territory (below 30) | 24.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($102.00 to $149.45) — 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. | 9.3 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 13 sessions |

| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $181.63 (set on 2026-08-13) | $181.63 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($58.70 to $176.38), and it has given back a bit over half of its rise from last year’s low — 59% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $99.89 to $103.65. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 59.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 41.4% below its all-time high | -41.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 1.8% above a support level at $104.55 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-03-13, most recently on 2026-03-27. Since 2024-10-09 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 4 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -1.8% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $18.00 (set on 2022-11-09) | $18.00 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 491.0% above its all-time low | +491.0% |
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 99% of the past ~6 months) | 99th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $7.14 between its high and its low — about 6.7% 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 | $7.14 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $102.01 and $161.09 — 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 | $102.01 – $131.55 – $161.09 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.7% 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 | 6.7% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 3.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (17.1% 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 | 3.1 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-09 0.3% below 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 | -0.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 5.7% below the previous close 4 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 128.25 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -5.7% |
| Gap filled | a 3.1% gap up opened on 2026-09-17 has been "filled" 16 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 16 sessions ago |
Price streaks

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 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, its RSI momentum gauge is oversold (a beaten-down reading), near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, 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 | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 30% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-02 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 moderate, spanning 4.1% of the share price. | -30.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 18% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $129.11 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 189 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -17.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 24% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-30 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $140.39 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 51 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -24.2% |

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 $151.36.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones. It was chosen from 3 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
This reading has stood for 12 trading days, since 2026-09-24.

SPHR had 6,454,062 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for SPHR because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.

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.
