Technical Analysis of Opendoor Technologies Inc. (OPEN)

1. Trend Analysis

Long-term Trend

• The price chart from March to early July 2025 shows a persistent downtrend. The price has dropped from $1.20–$1.30 levels in early March to the current $0.61, a decline of over 50% in four months. This long decline was punctuated by episodes of panic selling (notable on 4/23–4/25 with massive volume spikes and rapid declines below $0.80).

Short-term Trend

• Recent sessions (June–July 2025) indicate the price bottomed in the $0.52–$0.55 range. The last several candles show an attempted rebound to $0.62, although the move lacks strong sustained volume compared to prior down legs.
• Looking at the hourly data for July 3rd, there is an intraday range of $0.59–$0.62, and the close at $0.61 is near the upper bound.

2. Volume Analysis

• Volume spikes often accompany significant price changes: mega-volume on large red candles (e.g., late April and May sell-offs) indicated capitulation, while recent rebounds (e.g., June 27, 30, July 1) occur at relatively high but fading volumes, suggesting short-covering rather than broad accumulation.
• The latest push above $0.60 (on July 3rd) is not matched by substantial volume, questioning the rally’s sustainability.

3. Support and Resistance Analysis

• Major Support: $0.52–$0.55 (June lows, tested and held multiple times)
• Current Range Support: $0.59–$0.60 (recent bounce point and previous resistance, now tested as new support)
• Immediate Resistance: $0.62 (tops of July 3rd, faded twice intra-session), then $0.66, and $0.70–$0.75 (recent June/early July congestion area)

4. Moving Averages and Momentum Oscillators

• Short-term MA (e.g., 10/20 EMA): Price is testing the 10-day EMA resistance. After a breakdown and base, the price flipped above this level intraday but has not closed decisively above it.
• Long-term MA (50/100/200): All sloping down, confirming overall bearish bias; price remains well below all major moving averages.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): Estimated (from price action) to have rebounded off extreme oversold (30 or below) to the low- to mid-40s—indicating some mean-reversion but no transition to overbought levels.
• MACD: Likely attempting a bullish crossover (MACD line converging on signal), though not confirmed and not above zero, signaling weak momentum in the bullish rally.

5. Candlestick and Price Action Patterns

• Hammer Candles: Observed on some recent daily bars at the bottom, suggesting initial attempts at reversal.
• Bearish Engulfing / Shooting Star: On July 3rd, the inability to hold above $0.62, faded at the highs, implies sellers are defending that resistance tightly.

6. Volatility Indicators

• ATR (Average True Range): Rising during the major sell-off periods, then swiftly declining as the price found a base—typical for completed sell capitulations and potentially a prelude to a volatility squeeze.
• Bollinger Bands: Price near upper band on the latest day after a period hugging the lower band—indicative of a mean-reversion rally, but the overall band is widening (high volatility persists).

7. Fibonacci Retracement

• Measured from June high near $0.75 to the July low near $0.53, the current rebound at $0.61–$0.62 approaches the 38.2% retracement ($0.60–$0.62). Without a close above the 50% retracement ($0.64), the rally is likely corrective, not a new leg higher.

8. Order Flow/Tape Reading & Market Microstructure

• The inability to consistently print above $0.62 suggests strong overhead supply. The recent upticks are being quietly sold into (distribution), not absorbed by aggressive buyers.

9. Elliott Wave Analysis

• The entire move from $1.20 down to $0.52 can be seen as an impulsive (1–5) bear wave. The bounce to $0.62 appears corrective (A-B-C), with C topping at $0.62–$0.63.

10. Gaps & Newsflow Considerations

• No recent news gap-filling. Prior gaps down have not been filled. The overall sector sentiment is negative, with risk-off momentum in other high-growth, unprofitable tech names.

Synthesis and Forecast (Next 24 Hours)

• Bear Case Domination: Despite several technicals compelling a mean-reversion bounce, key resistances remain unbroken, and trend indicators are firmly negative.
• Volume/Fading Uptick: Uptick is not accompanied by surging volume—rising wedge/type A bear rally structure, susceptible to another sharp drop if buyers step away.
• Short-term Prediction: Expect rejection at $0.62; a decrease to retest $0.59, $0.57, with possible probing of $0.55 if the market remains soft.
• Risk: If price holds above $0.62 and consolidates, the next resistance at $0.66 may be in play, but probabilities still skew more negative. Downside bias remains more probable.

Actionable Decision

• Initiate new short (Sell) on attempted re-tests of $0.61–$0.62. Set profit target at $0.55, where prior support and buy interest emerge. Risk manage with a stop-loss on close above $0.63–$0.64 range (above failed resistance and 50% Fib level).

---

Conclusion: Trend remains downward, recent bounce is corrective, with insufficient evidence of sustained reversal. Favor selling strength rather than chasing rebound rallies for the next 24 hours.
