How VELO3D INC looks technically

VELO3D INC (VELO) is trading 1.2% 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 172 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 23 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 49, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 6 trading days ago. It is 58.1% below its highest point of the past year. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 48% of its 30-day average.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($12.09 to $17.61) — its "stochastic" reading is 22 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.21.8

Bullish technical signals3 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, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast3 of 9
Bearish technical signals2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: trading below its 200-day average, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast2 of 9

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)

1
Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 22% 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 29.4% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross.-22.4%

Volume-weighted price

Vs this year’s average price paidthe price is 20% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $16.71 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 160 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP.-20.4%

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 $17.61.

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 three-part correction in leg C, which fails on a close above $17.61.

This reading has stood for 2 trading days, since 2026-08-20.

Read from daily closes as of 2026-08-21.

  • Consensus EPS estimate-$0.27 next reporting period, as of 2026-08-18

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.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)

No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for VELO — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.

View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filings

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.

reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 2 new, 2 increased, 0 decreased, 1 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.

VELO had 15.3% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-07-31 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.14 days to cover at the same settlement.

  • Reported change -11.43%
  • Days to cover (reported) 3.14

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.
