How YORK SPACE SYSTEMS INC looks technically
YORK SPACE SYSTEMS INC (YSS): 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 32, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped negative). It just made a new 20-day low, breaking below its recent trading range.
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 $9.74 | $9.74 |
| 200-day moving average | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 28 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 28 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part downward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that downward direction; the labelling fails if price closes above 23.39. It is the only labelling that fits, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible downward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 |
| Since the 50/200 cross | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 25, with sellers in control | 25.4 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 32, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 32.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($7.03 to $10.04) — its "stochastic" reading is 7 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. | 6.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 1 trading day ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 1 session |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 78% of it) | 22nd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.7088 between its high and its low — about 9.8% 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 | $0.7088 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $7.03 and $10.24 — 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 | $7.03 – $8.64 – $10.24 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 9.8% in a typical session — among the most volatile in the catalog. 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 | 9.8% |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 1.5% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | -1.5% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.1% below the previous close 1 session ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 8.03 — 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 3.1% gap up opened on 2026-10-02 has been "filled" 4 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 4 sessions ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed lower 4 sessions in a row, a -19.49% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 1 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bullish state: near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 7 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 7 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a fresh 20-day low, 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 7 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 37% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 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 119.6% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | -36.6% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 65% below the average price paid since 2026-01-29, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $20.58 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 165 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -64.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 20% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-13 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $9.08 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 40 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -20.4% |
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 $23.39.
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 $13.89 and $21.09 — 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 2 trading days, since 2026-10-07.

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 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.

Short interest (FINRA)
YSS had 7,384,125 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
YSS had 5.38% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 2.57 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 7,384,125
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 5.38%
- Prior settlement (shares) 7,841,749
- Reported change -5.84%
- Days to cover (reported) 2.57
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.
