In a downtrend, below its 50- and 200-day averages. Price is −12% vs its 200-day average.
Heavily shorted, settled Sep 15, 2026, more than a week of normal trading to cover, a crowded exit.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
