Technical Analysis

CURRENT PRICE: $15.27 | PRIMARY TREND: BEARISH(Downtrend Intact)

Multi-Timeframe Context

Short-Term (Days):Weak
Medium-Term (Weeks):Bearish structure
Long-Term (Months):Requires 200d reclaim

Timeframes conflict: short-term oversold conditions create bounce probability, but medium/long-term structure remains weak. This explains contradictory signals.

Technical Context Zones

Trend Zone:Price vs 50d: $16.62 • Price vs 200d: $15.45
Decision Zone:Support: $13.58 • Resistance: $18.48

Momentum Indicators

RSI at 44.1 is neutral. The positive MACD suggests the probability of continued upside pressure, though momentum shifts can occur.

RSI (14d)

MACD
0.02 Bullish

Market Mechanics: Price remains within normal deviation from 50d SMA. Trend can continue without major mean-reversion pressure.

Bollinger Bands – Position Context

Price trades in the lower half of the bands, increasing the probability of short-term bounce. However, downtrends can remain oversold longer than expected.

Note: Bands show volatility zones, not strict buy/sell signals. Confluence with volume and momentum increases reliability.

Volume Analysis – Causal Context

Trading volume increases above 20-day average. This occurs during selling pressure or capitulation. If price stabilizes despite high volume, accumulation may be underway (potential reversal signal).

Trading Plan & Invalidation Rules

Bullish Scenario: If RIVN holds above $15.45 on normal or rising volume, probability of continuation toward $18.48 increases.
Bearish Scenario: If RIVN breaks below $13.58 on expanding volume (confirmation required), risk shifts toward lower historical supports. Monitor 200d SMA at $15.45 as potential floor.
Invalidation Rules:
  • Bullish thesis fails if price closes below $13.58 on volume >20-day average (indicates institutional selling).
  • Bearish thesis fails if price closes above $16.62 on volume >20-day average (indicates accumulation).
  • Monitor for volume divergence: price making new highs/lows on declining volume suggests exhaustion.

Multi-Timeframe Verdict Matrix

SHORT-TERM (Days)
Weak
Neutral momentum—wait for clearer directional signals before committing.
MEDIUM-TERM (Weeks)
Bearish structure
Price below 50d SMA reflects bearish structure. Recovery requires reclaim of $16.62 on expanding volume.
LONG-TERM (Months)
Requires 200d reclaim
Below 200d SMA suggests bear market risk. Long-term investors should avoid new positions until trend improves.
📊 Unified Recommendation
For Swing Traders (Days-Weeks): Wait for directional clarity. Breakout above $18.48 or breakdown below $13.58 needed.
For Position Traders (Weeks-Months): Bearish structure—avoid new longs until price reclaims $16.62 on rising volume. Consider shorts below $13.58 with volume confirmation above 20-day average.
⚠️ Important: This analysis reflects probability-based assessments, not certainties. Markets can remain irrational longer than expected. Always use stop-losses and position sizing to manage risk. Invalidation rules are critical—if thesis breaks, exit promptly.
