The short answer

As of the Nov 2, 2026 close, QuantivFlow's Trend algo rates MAX BUY on the short-term (daily) horizon, a stance it has held since Oct 29, 2026 at $14.13. The mid-term (weekly) horizon reads EXIT; the long-term (monthly) horizon has no confirmed signal yet, the stock's monthly history is still too short. The Rebound algo's last dip trade closed on Oct 23, 2026 at $11.90; it holds no dip position now. The Patterns algo sees a bull flag on the daily chart that broke out on Oct 30, 2026 at $14.38, with a measured target about 19% higher. The daily RSI (14) is 76, and the price sits 30.7% above the 50-day average and 38.8% above the 200-day.

Three algos, three opinions is normal: Trend follows the established direction, Rebound buys sharp dips inside it, Patterns reads the chart shape. Not investment advice.

What Trend meansA trend-following algo. BUY while an uptrend holds on that horizon, EXIT when it breaks. Long only, judged on daily, weekly and monthly candles.
What Rebound meansA dip-buying algo. BUY after a sharp short-term drop in an otherwise healthy stock, EXIT once price closes back above its 12-day average. Short term and Mid term profiles.
What Patterns meansA chart-shape detector. Finds wedges, double tops and bottoms, cup and handle and more, marks the breakout or breakdown and measures the textbook price target. Full method
