Trend
7
| 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 $22.36 | $22.36 |
| 200-day moving average | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |
| 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 low 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | not enough price history yet — needs 200 trading sessions | n/a |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 48, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 47.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the upper half of its 14-day range ($18.93 to $21.47) — its "stochastic" reading is 78 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. | 77.6 |

Volatility
4
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 35th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.8944 between its high and its low — about 4.3% 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 | $0.8944 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $18.50 and $22.81 — 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 | $18.50 – $20.66 – $22.81 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.3% in a typical session — about typical for the 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 | 4.3% |

Candlestick patterns

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 at essentially the same price it closed at the session before — no meaningful overnight gap | 0.0% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 2.8% gap up opened on 2026-09-22 has been "filled" 12 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 12 sessions ago |
Price streaks

| Closing streak | it has closed higher 3 sessions in a row, a +4.19% move over the run — an unbroken run of up days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 3 sessions up |

Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 7.6% 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 moderate, spanning 5.9% of the share price. | -7.6% |

Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 6% below the average price paid since 2026-04-22, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $22.18 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 108 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -5.8% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 7% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-13 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $22.54 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 40 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -7.3% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

An Elliott-wave count describes the swings already printed and the level that would disprove it. It is not a forecast, a target, or advice.

Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for YSWY — 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 filingsOnly 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 ownership (13F)
3 institutional 13F filers reported holding YSWY as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).

- Reported value $70,807,538
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)
YSWY had 2,354,518 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 YSWY because we do not hold a verified share count to divide it by. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 2,354,518
- Prior settlement (shares) 2,428,971
- Reported change -3.07%
- Days to cover (reported) 7.88
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.
