How ENERGOUS CORP looks technically

ENERGOUS CORP (WATT) is trading 16.0% 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 115 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 25, with sellers in control. 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 3 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day low about 2 trading days ago. It is 65.8% below its highest point of the past year.

Position in its 14-day rangeit is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($11.76 to $20.00) — its "stochastic" reading is 11 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.10.6

Volatility

Typical daily rangein a typical session it travels about $1.65 between its high and its low — about 13.1% 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$1.65

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, outperforming the market over 6 months, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast3 of 9
Bearish technical signals5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast5 of 9

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)

1
Vs the Ichimoku cloudtrading 40% 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 32.0% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross.-39.9%

Volume-weighted price

Vs this year’s average price paidthe price is 28% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $17.50 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 160 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP.-27.9%

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 5 of five.

This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes above $20.00.

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.

On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $4.95 and $14.25 — 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-$0.35 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.

WATT had 13.0% 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 4.09 days to cover at the same settlement.

  • Days to cover (reported) 4.09

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.
